According to the victim, "I was not afraid that they had a whole team. I wasn't concerned because I'm very, very confident in Scott. He's a great lawyer. As far as Scott's commitment, I remember we had a meeting with the other law firm; that we had to take care of a couple days later and Scott was on vacation. He actually drove all the way from his vacation, a real far out drive, just to meet with me so we could have this meeting, just to handle the situation."
