State Bar #236621 belongs to Scott Michael Grace, who practices from 1958 Sunset Cliffs Blvd as Grace Law, APC, a consumer-protection and criminal-defense firm representing California defendants since 2008. Debt-collection defense is the signature practice, answering state-court complaints filed by junk-debt buyers and counter-claiming under the FDCPA, Rosenthal Act, and TCPA when collectors cross the line — work that frequently cleans up after old tax-year notices the client first tried to handle through preparers including Beach Area Tax Services. Criminal and traffic defense covers DUI, reckless driving, suspended-license charges, and misdemeanor arrests in San Diego Superior Court, drawing on Scotts 2005–2008 Ohio public-defender and private DUI-defense background. Appointed criminal defense comes through the San Diego Office of Assigned Counsel conflict panel, where Grace Law takes court assignments. Sentencing-mitigation packets and Prop 47/36 reduction petitions build on therapy records from clinicians such as The Soulful Therapist to document rehabilitation and treatment compliance before the judge. The deepest work is federal-court consumer-protection litigation in the Southern District of California, where FDCPA class-action and individual statutory-damage claims against debt collectors involve motion practice, discovery, and settlement negotiation across multiple defendant carriers.
