Scott Weaver is a senior civil litigator at Carney Badley Spellman whose perspective, on the disputes central to his practice, is shaped as much by his experience as an investor as by his years in the courtroom. As an owner and manager of a portfolio of investment properties, Scott sits on the same side of the table as his clients long before a dispute ever begins. That experience informs how he assesses risk, frames strategy, and understands what is truly at stake.
Scott represents owners, developers, and investors in real estate and construction matters, and handles landlord-tenant disputes. He litigates defamation, slander, and libel claims, as well as matters involving fraud, misrepresentation, and deception. For businesses facing commercial disputes of any complexity, he builds cost-effective strategies focused on the best possible outcome, avoiding trial where possible.
Over a career spent trying cases, Scott has earned the confidence of clients and the respect of the Washington legal community. He has been selected as a Super Lawyer, placing him in the top 5% of attorneys statewide, every year for the past ten years. Best Lawyers in America has named him among the country’s top Commercial Litigators for 2024, 2025, and 2026.
