About Scott D.
Scott D. Righthand earned his law degree from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco in 1979 after completing undergraduate studies at the University of Colorado in 1975. He entered the legal profession at a time when litigation was changing, and his education placed him in two different regions of the country early on. Those formative years established the groundwork for a practice centered in California.
Righthand began practicing in San Francisco and, in 1992, opened the Law Office of Scott Righthand, P.C. He has maintained a presence in the city since then. He holds current membership in the California State Bar and belongs to several professional organizations, including the Consumer Lawyers of California, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the San Francisco Bar Association, and the American Bar Association. Those affiliations reflect a long engagement with the legal community and with groups oriented toward litigation and consumer matters.
Much of Righthand’s work has been in personal injury law. He represents individuals who have been injured and pursues claims through negotiation and, when necessary, trial. His membership in trial-focused organizations signals regular courtroom involvement. He handles the types of disputes that bring clients into civil court seeking recovery for physical injury, property loss, or related damages.
Colleagues and clients who have worked with him describe a steady practice rooted in the mechanics of litigation. He has continued to invest time in case preparation and court procedures rather than moving into broader administrative or corporate roles. That approach has shaped the contours of his practice over the years and oriented it toward contested matters where evidence and witness testimony matter.
Today Righthand operates from the Law Office of Scott Righthand, P.C., based in San Francisco. The office manages personal injury matters and pursues claims on behalf of injured parties. He maintains active bar membership and participates in professional groups tied to plaintiff litigation. His current practice focuses on representing individuals in personal injury cases in California.
