About Scott
Scott Wippert trained on the mainland and in the islands. He earned a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Hawaii–Manoa. He went on to the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, where he completed his J.D. with coursework concentrated in criminal law. The record shows formal legal education in both general and criminal law subjects.
His early career began in public defense. In 2001 he worked at the Sacramento Public Defender’s Office. That role put him in courtrooms handling criminal matters for people who could not afford private counsel. He then moved into private practice settings. In 2006 he was a Senior Trial Lawyer at United Defense Group. Four years later, in 2010, he is listed as a Senior Trial Lawyer at Wippert & Bramson.
Across those positions he handled trials and courtroom work. The jobs reflect steady trial experience and regular engagement in contested matters. He has worked both for a public defender’s office and in firms that defend clients against criminal charges. That mix of public and private practice shapes how he approaches case preparation and courtroom presentation.
Wippert’s academic background and employment history point toward criminal defense and trial litigation as his primary areas of practice. He has performed the tasks that define a trial lawyer: drafting motions, interviewing witnesses, examining and cross-examining at hearings and jury trials, and advising clients on plea and trial options. His path through a public defender’s office and then into senior trial roles in private practice aligns with a steady focus on contested criminal matters.
He maintains membership in professional associations appropriate for trial lawyers. That membership supports continuing legal education and professional networking. In practice he has balanced courtroom responsibilities with the procedural work that underpins criminal cases.
Today he practices in California. His background combines legal education in criminal law, early public defense experience, and senior trial roles in private practice. Those elements shape the services he offers to clients facing criminal charges in California.
