Robert is also extremely proud of Scott & Wallace’s partnership with Leon County Schools (LCS). Through that partnership the firm has created the ‘Winning Classrooms’ initiative that honors and recognizes an outstanding teacher each month during the school year, awarding an Apple iPad to the recipient, a cash donation to the classroom, publication of the award to the firm’s digital billboards, among other prizes. The firm also donates over 150 Halloween costumes each year to Title I elementary schools. The firm also donates over 50 winter coats and over 50 pairs of shoes annually to children matriculating at Title I schools. The firm has also given over $10,000 to fund the Conley Elementary Food Pantry, and annually funds and sponsors the Taylor Moseley Memorial Scholarship at Lincoln High School (the firm represented the family of 18 year old Taylor Moseley following her tragic death in a car accident in 2011).

Finally, as a proud alumnus, Robert is honored that Scott & Wallace has entered a multiyear partnership with Florida State University Athletics as the Official Injury Lawyers of the Florida State Seminoles®. This synergetic partnership allows Scott & Wallace to participate in, support, and highlight the achievements of FSU’s student-athletes, while also allowing the firm to illuminate the work of educators and other difference-makers in the communities it serves through on-the-field recognition and other creative outreach.
