Scot Clinton

Scot is a senior attorney with Wilson Cribbs + Goren who has been practicing law since 2004. He represents clients in a variety of real estate, construction, business, and commercial litigation matters. Scot enjoys working with clients, learning about their businesses, and working with them to develop specialized strategies that suit their needs and are tailored to their business goals.

When beginning a new representation, Scot starts his work with the desired end result in mind. “As an experienced trial lawyer, I bring a perspective that most lawyers, and many litigators, do not have. I believe this helps me work more efficiently for the client, and I’m better able to assess what really matters and how to reach a satisfactory resolution.”

Understanding and empathizing with clients and their situation is an important part of representing them. “My father was an attorney and a judge, so I learned from him about the practice of law and the special responsibility attorneys serve in helping others. We can protect people’s rights and interests, defend against abuse of power, help the underprivileged, and influence the functioning of government. There is probably no other profession where an individual can have such a profound role in society.”

Scot earned his B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin in 1999 and received his J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law in 2004.
