Roy Lynn Scott was born
and raised in Lubbock, Texas. Upon
graduation from high school, Mr. Scott was drafted into the United States Army
and served his country in Korea. After
his service, he enrolled in Texas Tech University where he earned a Bachelor of
Science in Education. From there he
worked for Southland Corporation, running 7-11 stores across Texas, and
Missouri. In 1981 Mr. Scott decided to
enroll in the Texas Tech University School of Law. He completed his Doctor of Jurisprudence
degree in 1984. His first job was for
the City of Midland as a prosecutor. He
later opened a private practice office in Crane, Texas, and was then
subsequently elected to serve as the County Attorney in Upton County, an office
he held for 13 years. He also maintained
a family law practice while practicing as the County Attorney.
After his time in public service, Mr.
Scott opened a private practice in Midland, Texas. He began handling criminal defense, as well
as family law cases, bringing his own
unique brand of expertise and communication to each of his clients. He has been involved in multiple complex
family law cases, as well as many serious criminal matters, a number of which
were ultimately resolved in a jury trial.
Mr. Scott has also filed appeals in
criminal and family cases. He has had
several victories in both areas. Mr.
Scott represented a grandfather accused of negligence with his
grandchildren. A jury convicted the
grandfather, however that conviction was overturned by the Court of Appeals as
a result of an appeal filed by Mr. Scott on behalf of the client. Mr. Scott has also had writs granted in
family matters. Another time, Mr. Scott
filed a Bill of Review on behalf of a client who was incarcerated and ordered
to pay child support, which he was unable to pay due to his incarceration. The client was unaware of the order until the
arrearage had accumulated to many thousands of dollars. The client’s family hired Mr. Scott, who
investigated the case, discovered an issue with service, filed a Bill of Review
and successfully overturned the order for child support, removing all child
support obligation.
Mr. Scott was motivated to go to law
school and become an attorney to help people through difficult situations and
offer advice, a mantra he has continued to live by in his dealing with the
thousands of people whose lives he has touched through the practice of law.
