About Scotty

Scotty brings four decades of experience as a former DUI Enforcement Officer and 20 plus years as a consultant. Scotty received numerous accolades in his career such as the Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (A.C.E.) Distinction in 2000 by the Office of the Director of the South Carolina Department of Public Safety. He was awarded the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office Distinguished Service Award while assigned to their Traffic Enforcement Unit. In 2001, he received the Traffic Safety Officer (TSO) designation by the Office of the Governor of South Carolina, the highest designation available to a traffic officer in the state.

Upon finishing his law enforcement career, Scotty became a highly sought after impaired driving consultant, and has worked with lawyers nationwide on issues related to DUI/DWI cases. Having been affiliated with numerous professional organizations nationally, Scotty is called “The DUI Detective” by his colleagues. This is due to his ability to uncover the smallest errors in DUI cases.

Scotty has presented to law schools, colleges, public defenders, and private defense lawyers on all aspects of DUI defense. He has been qualified as an expert in numerous courts on the subject of DUI field testing and breath testing procedures. Scotty has completed the Datamaster/DMT breath testing supervisor program at the National Patent factory in Ohio. This is the only device approved by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division for breath testing in South Carolina. Scotty is nationally certified as a practitioner and instructor of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration DUI Detection and Field Sobriety Testing curriculum, and has received advanced training in the Drug Recognition Expert curriculum.

Scotty has reviewed thousands of DUI cases in South Carolina and across the country on behalf of lawyers, using his vast experience and training in order to achieve the best results possible for clients.

In his free time Scotty enjoys working, listening to jazz, and rodeo.
