Scott was born in Manhattan in 1973 but grew up in New City in Rockland County, New York. He was educated in the public schools, where he was active in various charitable and community projects, including teaching chess to local elementary school students as an after school program.
After high school, Scott decided to test life down south and went to Atlanta to attend Emory University. After graduation in 1995, he decided to expand his horizons and see the West, enrolling at the South Texas College of Law. After graduating in 1998, he was admitted to the State Bar of Texas. He began his career as an assistant district attorney for Cameron County, representing the “good and fair people of the great State of Texas” in Brownsville. After about six months as a prosecutor, Scott decided to enter the private sector and returned to Houston, where he practiced insurance defense, family law, and foreclosure law with a major law firm.
In 2002, Scott left Texas for South Florida, where he has practiced general civil litigation and insurance defense as well as serving as a County Court Certified Mediator for the Broward County Courts. He joined Jacobson, Sobo & Moselle in February 2007. Scott is the firm's resident expert in domesticating judgments from other states.
When he is not collecting money for his clients, Scott enjoys working out and playing tennis. He prides himself on being an avid-but-not-obnoxious fan of the Yankees, Knicks, and New York Football Giants. Scott’s quick wit, reasonably competent impressions, and vast knowledge of meaningless facts make him tolerable to be with in spite of his awful taste in sports teams.
As he was in high school, Scott is still active in various charitable and community projects including the B’Nai B’Rith Justice Unit, Broward Professionals for the Children’s Home Society, Mosaic Outdoor Club of South Florida, and the Anti-Defamation League. Working to make it a better world and helping the less fortunate are Scott’s way of acknowledging what he considers the privilege of practicing law.
