An Insider Now on Your Side
I’ve worked for banks, landlords, and HOAs—now I help people fight back. From overwhelming debt to shady business practices and housing disputes, I offer clear, practical legal help when you need it most.
About Us
I’m Scott D. Bird, a Florida-based attorney focused on helping everyday people navigate debt, housing disputes, and consumer issues. My goal is to provide clear, honest legal support to individuals who are overwhelmed by financial stress or have been mistreated by businesses, landlords, or lenders.
​
Before shifting my focus to consumer advocacy, I spent years working for banks, landlords, and homeowners associations. That background gave me insight into how the system works—and how to push back when it doesn’t treat people fairly. Today, I use that experience to stand up for clients who deserve a second chance or simply a fair shake.
​
I handle cases involving bankruptcy, unfair debt collection, wrongful repossessions, security deposit disputes, and more. Whether you’re trying to save your car, stop a foreclosure, or fight back against a shady business practice, I’ll walk you through your legal options with practical advice and no judgment.
​
I graduated cum laude from Thomas M. Cooley Law School and earned my undergraduate degree from Indiana University. I’ve lived in Florida since 2009 and have built my practice here with a focus on accessibility, respect, and results.
​
Outside the office, I enjoy gardening, playing intramural kickball, and—like many of us—occasionally getting hooked on a good streaming series. I believe in keeping things grounded and relatable, and I bring that same mindset to my legal practice.

If you're looking for an attorney who’s approachable, experienced, and committed to helping you move forward, I’m here to help.
