Scott C. Cinnamon

Cinnamon Law was founded by Scott Craig Cinnamon in July, 2001. Scott has over ten years of communications law and transactional experience. In establishing his own practice, Scott is returning to his small firm roots, where client service was more important than billable hours. Immediately prior to opening his own practice, Scott spent three years in the communications group of one of the largest firms in the country, gaining experience in transactional, regulatory and adjudicatory work that will benefit clients of all sizes. Scott filed and prosecuted applications at the FCC, filed comments in all types of rule making proceedings, closed dozens of transactions involving the purchase, sale and financing of communications properties, became an expert in the FCC's electronic filing and research systems, and assisted clients in their FCC auction participation. His favorite memory throughout his years of practice is still the twenty-three party comparative hearing settlement agreement that he negotiated and drafted. Creating a document that was acceptable to twenty three lawyers and their respective clients was a formidable task, but it produced a very positive result for his client.

Scott has been involved in the Federal Communications Bar Association for many years. Most recently, he was a co-chair of the FCBA Newsletter Committee. In prior years he served as and Executive Committee member, a co-chair of the Website Development Task Force, and a co-chair of three different committees – Access to Records, Membership and Young Lawyers. Scott was also the catalyst for the creation of the FCBA Job Bank and the FCBA Law Student Mentor Program.

Scott is a graduate of the American University's Washington College of Law, located in Washington, DC and a Cum Laude graduate of Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY.

When he is not practicing law, Scott enjoys time with his wife Cyndi and his young daughter Delaney. He also is an avid soccer fan and former referee.
