Scott Simpson

Scott Simpson is widely regarded as one of San Antonio’s premier criminal defense attorneys, with a career that has shaped the local legal landscape. A graduate of an Ivy League university, Scott brings elite academic training and over two decades of high-level courtroom experience to every case he handles.

Before joining the defense side, Scott led the Family Violence and Crimes Against Children Units as a senior prosecutor—positions that gave him deep insight into some of the most complex and emotionally charged cases.

Scott is not just a litigator—he’s a teacher and mentor. He has trained many of today’s prosecutors and even judges, and is routinely invited to present at trial colleges on topics like cross-examination and family violence litigation.

When the stakes are highest—whether it’s a serious allegation or a case attracting media attention—clients turn to Scott because they want someone who’s seen it all, taught the best, and knows exactly how to win.
