About Scott
Scott Scurfield built his academic foundation at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, where he earned a B.A. in 1981. He continued his studies at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and received his J.D. in 1985. Those years in the classroom and on campus set the stage for a lengthy engagement with the law.
He is admitted to practice in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Those two jurisdictions shape the geographical scope of his work and inform how he manages cases that touch on differing state rules and procedures. Holding licenses in more than one state has allowed him to handle matters that reach across state lines when clients require representation in both places.
Scurfield is associated with Riddle & Brantley, LLP. At that firm he works on client matters and interacts with other lawyers, staff and outside counsel to resolve disputes and advance client interests. His role at the firm involves preparation, negotiation and representation in legal matters that arise under the laws of Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who value clarity in client communication. He typically breaks complex problems into clear steps and sets realistic expectations. He favors direct explanations over legalese and spends time outlining options so clients can weigh practical consequences as well as legal ones.
He draws on the combination of a liberal arts undergraduate education and a law school training that emphasized both doctrine and procedure. That background informs how he assesses risk and develops case strategy. He is attentive to procedural deadlines and takes the preparatory work required for litigation and transactional matters seriously.
Outside of specific casework, Scurfield has navigated the administrative and ethical requirements that come with holding licenses in multiple states. Managing those responsibilities involves maintaining familiarity with each jurisdiction’s rules and keeping professional credentials current.
He currently practices at Riddle & Brantley, LLP, representing clients in matters arising under the laws of Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
