Scott Johni is a seasoned trial attorney and legal thriller author who turns real courtroom battles into edge-of-your-seat fiction. With over three decades in the trenches of the American justice system, Johni writes from experience—where one bad ruling, one buried piece of evidence, or one corrupt player can change everything.

His debut series, The Nick Justin Chronicles, blends explosive courtroom drama with dark criminal intrigue, set in the sun-drenched shadows of Tampa–St. Petersburg, Florida. At the center is Nick Justin—a tough, principled attorney navigating a justice system rife with power plays, coverups, and betrayal.

Johni’s thrillers combine the authenticity of Grisham, the grit of Connelly, and the moral complexity of Lehane—perfect for readers who crave suspense layered with conspiracy, family tension, and moral gray zones.

When he’s not writing or trying cases, Scott cycles, plays golf, and trains alongside his two basset hounds—who always seem to know when it’s time to write.
