Scott R. Hapeman

Having earned my law degree at the University of Notre Dame Law School has provided me with a strong foundation for what has been a rewarding career serving and helping others at their time of greatest need. I am proud to come from a family of lawyers, which includes two uncles, my wife, her father and uncle, and now, my niece. I was born and raised in Western New York. Returning here to practice law was one of the better decisions I ever made.
Participation in sports at a high level has always been a central part of my personal life. I enjoyed playing volleyball, baseball, and hockey for decades, and have recently turned to long distance running to satisfy that competitive itch. Along with my wife, Jessica, and our children, we embrace all four seasons that Western New York provides, seizing every opportunity to run, ski, and swim together. Jessica’s and my goal is the pursuit of excellence in both our professional and personal lives.
