Scotty Palmer stands out in the legal landscape with his unwavering determination embodied by his motto, "If there’s a will, there’s a way." As a criminal defense attorney, Scotty's reputation is built on his refusal to accept the word “can’t” and his relentless pursuit of the best outcomes for his clients. Renowned for handling high-stakes cases involving murder and sex crimes, he also defends clients in high-profile personal injury, civil rights, and criminal cases that capture media attention, such as notable incidents like the Deep Ellum bartender assault and the Atmos Energy explosion. At Palmer Perlstein, his firm has broadened its expertise to encompass family law, civil rights, personal injury, and criminal defense, working alongside fourteen distinguished attorneys, including former prosecutors. This collective strength often results in dismissals and no-bills on serious charges. Scotty, board-certified in criminal law, emphasizes a client-focused approach, valuing every individual case, no matter the scale, and is celebrated for keeping clients well-informed.
