Scott Harper grew up in central Pennsylvania where he attended and graduated from Lewistown Area Senior High School, Juniata College and Widener University School of Law.

While in school and college Scott enlisted into the service at the age of 17 and went off to Fort Benning for basic and advanced infantry training.  After serving eight years Scott was honorably discharged thereby serving his county.

Scott then went off to law school and graduated on time and promptly passed the PA bar exam on the first attempt.  Since then Attorney Harper has served well over a thousand clients residing in or having ties to Pennsylvania.

Our Business

We get positive results most of the time, but not everytime, to be fair.  Some examples of recent success stories are as follows:

Attorney Harper protected over a quarter million dollars for a client that got a fairly large workers compensation award then had to file bankruptcy.  The trustee challenged our claimed exemption (the money and the homes purchased with the money) and eventually lost at trial.  We won and now the federal middle district of PA's position on pre-petitioin lump sum workers compensation funds are well protected from creditors and trustees.

Attorney Harper recently got a $13k judgment reduced to a $5000 settlement.  Client very happy with the results.

We recently got a commercial restaurant's monthly lease reduced by 1/3 thereby saving the client over $90,000 per year.

Attorney Harper won a DUI trial in Lebanon.

Attorney Harper won an armed robbery jury trial in Lebanon without having to present a defense.  Even with DNA evidence the prosecution didn't make a strong enough case for the judge to hand to the jury so I motioned for a dismissal due to insufficient legal basis and the judge GRANTED IT. 

Attorney Harper won an attempted murder jury trial in Lebanon.

Attorney Haprer's successful pretrial motion to suppress evidence of DUI thereby causing the case to be dismissed in York.

Attorney Harper's successful pretrial motion to suppress evidence in a pot possession case causing the case to be dismissed in York.

Attorney Harper's partially successful pretrial motions to suppress evidence of a large marijuana growing operation caused the DA's office to accept a plea to simple possession thereby saving client 4 unproductive years in state prison.

Attorney Harper won a double buglary jury trial for a client who initially tried to plead guilty but wasn't rejected by the judge.  He hired me and we took it to trial and won on all counts.

Attorney Harper won an alleged gun brandishing charge on a Rule 600 motion by digging his heals in and not allowing his client to take a plea to a lessor charge.

Attorney Harper won a grand theft charge that should have been no more than a civil breach of contract dispute and saved the client over a hundred thousand dollars. 

Who We Are

Attorney Harper and his team of motion & brief reaserchers and writers do the best they can with the budget they have at our disposal.  Every client is unique and has a budget we respect.  Nothing comes cheap or easy and in an era where legal fees can run into the thousands per day it's important to hire a team that doesn't waste time or money on matters that do not lead to victory.
