Scott A Pryor

Scott A. Pryor started his own law practice immediately after passing the Georgia bar. Through this experience, he was “baptized by fire,” exclusively handling criminal defense cases. In fact, Scott lived in court. His first Superior Court trial was in Clayton County within six months of passing the bar. Scott’s law practice completely changed when he was asked to represent the estate of a legendary rock and roll and rhythm and blues hall of famer. Scott loves a challenge and fought to secure the musical copyrights that had been put in jeopardy by a rogue business manager for the estate. After a long and hard battle fought in New York, they were able to rescue the copyrights for the estate. The copyrights were worth between three to five million dollars. Currently Scott has focused his practice on fighting for those who have been injured by the negligence of others. In 2010, he set a record in Greenville County, South Carolina, for the highest verdict or settlement amount for a case of its kind, totaling 4.5 million dollars in a wrongful death action. Scott is also a member of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association (GTLA) at the Champion level and sits on the Communications Committee of GTLA.

After graduate school, Scott received a partial academic scholarship to Hamline University School of Law, where he was a regular on the Dean’s List. While in law school, he served on the board of the Minnesota Justice Foundation, was on the Law Review, participated in the meditation moot court competition, and became a trained mediator and mediated cases in St. Paul, Minnesota. In addition, Scott studied cross-cultural mediation in emerging democracies in Budapest, Hungary. Immediately following law school, Scott tackled a number of high-stake, complex civil litigation cases as he represented several rock-and-roll hall-of-fame clients. Scott defended one of these clients in a case in New York and secured a multi-million dollar copyright portfolio that was in jeopardy due to a fraudulent loan collateralization.

Scott started his own law practice immediately after passing the Georgia bar. Scott loved being a trial lawyer and lived in the courtroom during the beginning of his career, gaining trial experience on crucial cases. Currently, Scott focuses his practice on fighting for those who have been injured by the negligence of others in personal injury cases. One such case was a fight for a dear family whose mother was killed by a negligent driver of a commercial vehicle. In 2010, Scott set a record in Greenville County, SC, for the highest verdict or settlement amount ($4.5 million) in a wrongful death/trucking case.
