We spent quite a few hours researching lawyers and thought Jeffrey P. Scott & Associates were the most suitable for us personality wise. The location was convenient and we felt relaxed at the office. I have already recommended them.

Katherine made me feel very comfortable going through a process that I had never gone through before. She conveyed true care, compassion, and confidentiality in our discussions. She was very thorough. Her overall demeanor was very comforting and trusting which was important for me in this process. She instilled confidence in me as her customer.

Jeff did a good job. He's very accessible and knowledgeable. I emailed him a lot of questions and he always got back to me promptly. I've never had an attorney operate like that before. In the past, if I asked an attorney a question they'd send me a bill for $75. That wasn't the case with Jeff. He was nice to deal with.

Katherine worked on a trust for us and we were very happy with the outcome. She paid a lot of attention to detail but was also very efficient. I felt like I was in good hands and could trust her. We didn’t have to spend a lot of time in her office. All the paperwork was pretty much ready to go. Basically all you had to do was sign it. I thought that was very nice and professional. They were very pleasant.

The overall customer experience was great. Katherine is very professional, prompt and thorough. We were able to get what we were looking for accomplished quickly. During the process of creating our living trust she explained everything clearly. She gave us different options and plenty of time to think through things. Nothing could have been improved in my experience. Everything went very smoothly.

Katherine did a good job on my estate plan. She seemed to be very knowledgeable and thorough. It was a relatively easy process and everything went as expected.

Katherine was a joy to work with. She was a great find and we were very fortunate. She knocked the ball out of the park. The experience was was easy, pleasant and non intimidating. She didn’t put us on the clock and was very flexible. Overall a great experience. I would definitely call them back as a first point of contact for any legal needs I have. If they couldn’t meet my needs I would completely trust their recommendation.

I had a good experience with Jeffrey P. Scott & Associates. They took care of everything I needed. Amanda went above and beyond my expectations. She was way ahead of the curve with everything I needed. The best thing was their knowledge of estate planning. Even though it can be complex they really helped explain everything and guided me through the steps.

I was totally pleased with the experience. Amanda let me know what to expect right off the bat. Everything was clearly explained which made it easy. It's a small firm, and it's very homey with really good people. I have already recommended them quite highly.

It was a great experience for us. We needed some advice on estate planning. Amanda knew her stuff and is very smart. She really helped us in a crisis. Her work was stellar. She couldn’t have been more helpful to us. I don’t know what we would have done without her. She just knew what to do. If we had a question, she had an answer. I have nothing but good things to say.

I have already recommended them to others many times. They’re very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Katherine presents in a way the average person can understand and avoids unnecessary language. She’s also very easy to work with. I’ve worked with many firms and this is the one I’ll go back to in the future because they’re easy to understand and they know what they’re talking about. I have worked with other estate planners and the lawyers at Jeffrey P. Scott & Associates are the only ones who actually presented a game plan instead of just handing me a document. That’s the core difference that separates them from others.

Katherine was thorough and did a good job. It was not just us going in and having a wandering discussion about what we wanted to do. She did a really good job of driving the discussion home and putting things out there so we could absorb it and react in the way we wanted to. She’s also very good at follow up, accountability and really having the discipline in terms of how the process went.

A previous lawyer had completely screwed up my will. Amanda proved herself very capable of fixing it. The experience was very professional, very in depth. She answered all my questions. She was very polite and knowledgeable. It was a good overall experience. They were available to me right away. They went over and above to get me in there. I thought it was a great experience.

Katherine is very knowledgeable in the subject matter, which is will and estate planning. She did a nice job putting everything together and keeping it neat and orderly. She made it easy for my wife and me to understand. She made recommendations on things that we hadn’t thought about, as we weren’t aware of them. She saved us from potential errors, significant time issues, frustration issues, and potential tax issues. Everything was done in a very professional way. She was accessible, and her communication skills were great. The best thing is that we could relate. She communicated in a way that we could understand. She was very efficient and organized. The communication was very good.

The best thing about working with Katherine was having the feeling that we have our matters in order. She helped us understand by walking us through scenarios until we found the one that would benefit us best. I feel comfortable now and that would be a reason why I would recommend them. She is patient enough to go through things with you until you understand. I feel that she was thorough, approachable, friendly, and patient. When we interjected with questions she would always take the time to ensure we understood the process. I really appreciated that. Overall they were professional and timely. Once we met with her I liked that she took the time to get to know us to gain an understanding of where we were coming from. Some places dive right into the business end of things. I appreciate that she took a little bit of time to get to know us.

I think Katherine’s top notch, I was very impressed. They are professional and efficient in completing their work. I was very impressed with the people that worked there. The front desk staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Katherine was very efficient, knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and understanding in the changes that we were making. My husband and I were a little bit hesitant about what firm to use in light of the fact that we are a gay married couple. We never felt a bit of uneasiness there. When we were done with the work, we were handed a three ring binder with all of the estate planning documents. It was very well organized, very professional, well presented and put together. It was also very concise showing you step by step what was needed (contact these people, do this this way etc…). We had done estate planning before and this was by far the most professional end product that we’ve ever gotten. Katherine’s firm had documentation that was clear and concise. When we got there she had completely reviewed everything and was thoroughly ready to meet with us. I was very impressed with that. I think that was the main decision for choosing the firm.

My husband was diagnosed with ALS and dementia. We needed to figure out how much of our assets needed to be protected and how to best proceed with our finances once he passed away. Katherine was recommended because she specializes in asset protection. I found her to be a very sharp cookie. I actually brought a friend with me who’s also a lawyer and he was equally impressed with her. The best thing about working with the firm is how responsive they are and the quick turn around when information is shared with them. You’re never waiting days on end. They usually got back to me the same day. I felt she was thorough and really knew what she was talking about. I felt she heard what I had to say. When I was confused she would take the time to restate things so that I could understand. It was all positive. Her assistant Justin was very responsive. Everything was done in a timely manner. It was very warm and inviting, not lawyerly at all.

I’m more than 100% satisfied. The best thing about working with the firm was Amanda’s ability to execute and deliver exactly what we were asking for. Another great thing was her flexibility when it came to meeting with us. Per our goals and objectives, she found the most cost-effective means to execute. I interviewed 3-4 other law firms and that’s exactly what I was looking for. I had 1-2 hour meetings with other firms, but it only took 10 minutes with Amanda before it became obvious that she knew her business. I had attended a wills and estates seminar Jeffrey Scott presented a while ago. I had taken a lot of notes and was making use of them when interviewing law firms. I ended up meeting with Amanda at Jeffrey’s firm and that’s who we started with. My wife felt very comfortable with Amanda and she’s a great judge of character. We found Amanda to be accurate and to the point, which led to good discussions. Amanda had enough knowledge that it would take two people to do what she did because she’s licensed in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The quality of our meetings, the knowledge that she presented, and her follow through were exceptional. I interviewed a few firms and found Amanda could deliver what I wanted at the price I wanted. She is licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin, which gave us more flexibility as to what we were doing and how we were going to do it. With other agencies it would have taken 2-3 attorneys to do what she did.

I have already recommended Katherine. I found her knowledgeable, pleasant, and timely in responses to me. I had zero problems. Everything was done in a timely fashion. It was a very pleasant experience. She’s very personable at the appropriate times.

Amanda was very helpful in making sure we understood what was being discussed. We felt like she did a good job of explaining as well as addressing questions that we had. The other thing that we liked is there was no billing by the hour. It was just a flat rate for the service. The best thing about working with the firm was the effort they took to make sure we understood what was being discussed and addressing our questions. We were able to schedule an appointment easily. In terms of personal interactions they’re very professional and friendly.

It was a great experience working with Katherine. She really took the time to explain everything to us and didn’t rush through anything. We had several appointments and had a lot of questions. She answered every one thoroughly and was very patient with us. She explained things in a way that we could understand. We really enjoyed working with her. I would recommend her to family and will use her services in the future. My husband and I wanted to establish a will. We’d been married 20 years and didn’t have anything. Because of our blended family and assets she was able to steer us in a different direction that we had never even thought about (will vs. trust). We’re extremely happy to have this done. It was a really big deal for us.

Very easy and no pressure for us. It was a relief to have the work done since we had our son, and now with a second child on the way we are still taken care of. We really liked Amanda, she was friendly and easy to work with. We have already suggested her to others.

It was always pleasant. We described our situation and Amanda identified several points we needed to consider. She was assisting us with several estate planning documents. She asked the right questions to determine what we really needed. She identified all the pieces we needed to put in place and consider for our second meeting during our first meeting. The process flowed very smoothly. The best thing was the sense that attention was being paid to what we actually needed in the process. I needed some form of vetting of the firm. The fact that Amanda was giving a course at the local level on estate planning under the auspices of the school district helped. I had to choose between three or four firms and went with this one.

The best part about working with the firm was knowing that they were on top of things without me having to reach out. I already have recommended Katherine. She was very thorough. I felt like my case was pretty basic (just an executorship). She dealt with all communications with a reverse mortgage company my dad had dealt with. That took a lot of stress of my shoulders. I could always depend on her to watch out for anything bad coming our way. Because I had never been through something like this before and had limited resources in the beginning I was looking for someone who was affordable and also came fairly highly rated. I was also looking for a local firm that wasn’t too distant from my house in case there were a lot of meetings. I also checked on reviews and the firm had gotten pretty good ones from previous clients. They were listed as Estate lawyers, which is what I was looking for. The office was very nice, which gave me confidence that they knew what they were doing.

We had legal documentation that we needed to sign. We wanted to consult a lawyer first before making legal decisions. I felt Katherine went above what she needed to. She addressed all questions in detail and was very thorough. She was very responsive. I felt she was a subject matter expert. Any questions we had she was able to address without delay or waiting period. She was very respectful of our situation. She really understood the processes to have all of our documentation updated. I experienced what I was expecting, which is world class customer service. She was very personable at times where she needed to be. She was very warm and open. She was very proactive in her approach. She entertained various scenarios and determined what the best outcome would be. She was patient and took the time to go through all my questions. She was able to address everything in the first meeting, which I think is great coming from the world of customer service.

I liked their professionalism and the ability to communicate a lot of details in an easy fashion. I would say the firm was small and very user friendly. When they said they were going to do something, they did it. There were follow ups. We didn't spend any more time on things than we needed to. Because my schedule is fairly busy, I appreciated that. If I asked a question, I got an answer that detailed what I was looking for. I think good communication, professional communication, and to do it in an easy friendly method was good.

I've already started referring them to people. It was fabulous. I met Katherine at an alumni event and discussed estate planning so that was my first point of entry with her. She spoke on the panel and I took her information in. When I reached out, her responses were very detailed and informative. I met other lawyers in the office as well and they were also extremely friendly and welcoming as well. I feel comfortable that if something happened to me, everything will be taken care of.

It was professional but comfortable. It was fast but didn't feel rushed. It was efficient and I felt like even if we had any questions, we could get answers very quickly. Katherine was just wonderful to work with. Very personable, very engaging. Answered questions in a language we understood. I felt really great about working with her.

It was professional. It was very useful to us. We accomplished our goals. They understood what we needed to do and gave us the proper guidance. We felt satisfied 100%. We interviewed several firms and we chose this firm because of the immediate rapport with Katie. Her enthusiasm and professionalism came across to us very quickly that we had chosen the right attorney.

It was very reassuring. I have a lot of confidence in their knowledge and expertise. They took time to explain things very clearly, especially for those coming into it not understanding all of the terminology and ramifications. Very easy, communicative, and supportive. They took time to explain everything so that everyone understood what all of the options were and really helped make sure whatever plans were going to be developed were really tailored to the individual needs of my parents, rather than a cookie cutter approach. They based it on the stage of life they were in, what they needed and didn't need, and what made them most comfortable. I've already recommended Katherine to my parents to work on their estate planning and long term care planning. I've also recommended her to my brother and sister and would be eager to recommend her to anyone who was looking for those kinds of services.

We thought they were great. It was very detailed. She took a lot of time with us. Good communication, good follow up, kept us informed. The communication was probably the most important piece of it. She kept us on task which, when you have a busy life, is a challenge.

Very professional. I think the best thing was how well Amanda explained everything to us. They worked very quickly and accommodated our schedule. We didn't need to correct anything. They were right the first time.

My experience was good. I got what I needed. When I called them, someone always picked up the phone. They were very friendly and they helped me understand my options. They explained my options very well to help me decide what I needed to do.

I think they're an expert in the area they focus in. I would go back to the firm. He's provided excellent counsel and the interpersonal relationship has been very good.

I needed an attorney to help me revise my trust. I worked with Katherine at Jeffery P. Scott & Associates and had a great experience. She was very knowledgable and made the process very easy. I had moved from another state, where my trust had originated, and she quickly realized what needed to be done given my circumstances. I would highly recommend Katherine as she is not only knowledgable and efficient but also a true pleasure to work with.

I would definitely recommend them. It was a really good experience.I was pleased - their communication skills were good, they were always on time.

Everyone was very professional, organized, and super knowledgeable about the estate planning process. They are very efficient with their work but they don't make you feel rushed. Amanda was very thorough and really gave us complete understanding of what it means to complete your estate planning. She made sure we understood the process from start to finish. She walked us through every part of the process.

Positive would be a word to describe it. We had been looking for legal services because we knew we wanted to do estate planning. Jeffrey P. Scott & Associates was quick to respond. The first person we spoke with was very supportive and friendly, which is what we were looking for. Katherine did a wonderful job helping us understand what we were doing. She was wonderful about explaining everything to us. It was a very positive experience from the start. She's great at follow up. She has been wonderful and patient. Everyone was very friendly and we never felt intimidated when we were there. They were very welcoming. Katherine did a very good job helping us understand the legal terms involved. I also love the leather three-ring binder we got at the end of it. It made everything feel so professional, and made it feel like it was worth their time and our time, which was appreciated.

We attended a community education course that Jeff taught and decided to hire Jeff help us with our estate planning after that. The course helped prepare us to ask the right questions. Jeff provided us with a "to do" list, which made it easy for us to put our estate plan in place. Throughout the process, we appreciated Jeff's clear communication and experience-based, practical advice. One small billing issue was quickly resolved to our satisfaction. we would definitely recommend Jeff for estate planning

I've already recommended them to other people. I have children from a previous marriage, as well as grandchildren, so we put off the estate planning because we couldn't agree on what to do. I wanted the process to go smoothly. I have experience with three other estate planning attorneys and I knew what I was looking for. I wanted someone who was very knowledgeable because it's very important stuff. Jeff was very helpful and knowledgeable in federal law. I wanted somebody who was a good listener, and he is. Jeff helped us make decisions and gave us advice. It was a very pleasant process. He also accomplished things efficiently and were very pleased with the end cost. He was very knowledgeable and the price was very reasonable. What more could you ask for? You don't have to like your attorney, but it sure helps. I talked to my two oldest kids and said you should go see this guy and get your own stuff in order. I would recommend Jeffrey P. Scott & Associates to friends if they ever needed an estate planning attorney.

Scheduling appointments was easy, the services were good, and we got what we needed quickly and easily. They are really organized and walked us through what everything meant in a way we could understand.

Jeff was recommended to me by a mutual friend because he has experience dealing with Canadian law, which I needed at the time. Jeff has always been responsive. You can get in to see him with very short notice. He got things done on time and was very effective. He had a deep knowledge of the issue I was dealing with and was able to help right away.

It was fantastic. We explained what we were looking to do, and they outlined what they needed from us to take care of it and it made it really simple. It was a really pleasant experience working with them. Everyone at the firm was extremely pleasant and cordial to work with. They were very good at answering our questions. We didn't walk away with any questions or doubts. Jeff was great and easy to work with. They took care of us very nicely and professionally. I have already referred him to others.

They were efficient. We were impressed with Katherine. The firm is also convenient for us to get to. We liked that it is a small firm that we could feel comfortable with -- not a large corporation. We were quite well satisfied.

We were super impressed with Amanda Hespen. We had a baby, so we felt like it was time to put together a will. They met my expectations and we were super pleased with the end result. Our financial planner, Bob Parrem, recommended Amanda because she does wills, trusts, and estate planning exclusively. This is her area of attention and expertise. Working with them was very easy. The customer service agent who would call to confirm appointments was one of the nicest people to talk to on the phone. Amanda was very nice and very good at email communication. She was also good at accommodating us when we needed to bring an infant to meetings.

Jeff is great to work with. He was very well prepared when we got there and he's good at giving you different options. They ask the proper questions and ensure things are getting done. They are friendly, and they make sure your time is not wasted.

I worked with Amanda, and she was very helpful. When I called the firm, they put me in right away to her desk. She is very easy to talk to. I also liked the way they handle pricing with a flat fee. They were so professional, and the materials they gave me were well-organized in a folder.

Jeff was on time, efficient, pleasant, knowledgeable, understanding, and effective. He explained the issues very well & made my wife & I very comfortable making our decisions.

Jeff is very professional and friendly. Everything went smoothly, and Jeff answered all of my questions. The best thing about working with Jeff is his thoroughness from the very start. I also appreciated his attention to detail an his understanding of our situation.

I got quality legal advice and Jeff was open to discussing other options. He let me let me know what the law reads and why something would be better this way than that. The quality of the advice and the service I got when I hired Jeff to look into my affairs, answer my questions, and get the documents properly done was superb. My experience overall is and has been very positive.

I've known Jeff for a long time and have worked with him since 1999 or 2000. He's done a fine job and I trust him. When dealing with the loss of a loved one, it's nice to work with a lawyer who exhibits kindness and compassion, and a sense of humor, too.

I've been very pleased with them overall. I had a lawyer before who was not so great. I like Jeff and Amanda. They were recommended to me by my financial advisor. They are professional yet very friendly and they are easy to talk to. I like the atmosphere: professional yet warm and friendly. I'm still working with them. They have been very communicative when advising me on how things have been progressing. Everything has been very pleasant.

I appreciated his friendliness, his counsel was good, environment was pleasant, gave sound advice.

Katy was super efficient, didn't waste any of our time, answered our questions, and guided us in making the right decision. I thought the whole thing was pretty perfect.

My wife and I were referred to Jeffery Scott & Associates by fellow physicians for our estate planning needs. They executed this process to perfection in an easy-to-understand, practical and sensitive manner, which if done in any other way, could be intimidating and even scary given the nature of planning for ones disability or death.

They've been working with me on my mother's estate for about a year now, and it's been going really well. The best things about working with this firm are the small size, ease of access, and responsiveness.

I felt I received good value for the money, my interactions were very professional. Flexible, we met over 3 different occasions, set proper expectations of what needed to be done. After the last meeting, I knew what my next steps needed to be in my estate planning. They went above and beyond what anyone else would do. They were very timely in their response. I felt like they actually cared about my own situation. And they took time to really recommend what was in my own best interest. They took time to listen and recommended the best solution for my situation.

My experience was very positive, easy appointments; the appointments themselves were productive and didn't take more time than needed.

We just had a very pleasant and thorough experience. It was easy to get an appointment. They thoroughly answered our questions. It was non-threatening and a pleasant experience. Not stress, very pleasant.

"I have known Jeffrey Scott for almost 10 years, and it has been my pleasure to know him both professionally and personally. When both of my parents passed away within 100 days of each other, Jeffrey was the epitome of compassion for our situation as well as expertise. From seeing how well he worked with all of us (six siblings!) while settling my parents' estate, I decided to have Jeffrey also do my estate. My sister and brother-in-law and my son have also contacted Jeffrey for legal matters. In 2012, I needed legal advice in an unemployment issue. I first sought out counsel with Jeffrey, and after kindly listening to my case, he told me that he was not the one to take it--that he was not qualified. Instead he gave me the name of a colleague that he thought would do an excellent job. His recommendation was exactly what I needed. What I found remarkable was that Jeffrey could have kept me as a client and earned more income; but he did not. His integrity and utmost professionalism has made me one of his biggest cheerleaders. Georgia Finnegan Amdahl"

We used Katie (Katherine Wertheim Iacarella) to update our documents that were initially done by Jeffrey Scott, who was also great to work with. We knew we would return to that firm. Katie was very professional & at the same time warm & approachable. Her suggestions for some changes in wording on our existing docs were very helpful & would make the process easier for our 2 grown children to do the necessary tasks when the time comes. They do not both live in MN, so this was a good suggestion. Katie read personalities & situations very well & used a sense of humor to defuse a potentially explosive situation, followed by very clear, concise explanations of the importance of avoiding probate. I would highly recommend Katie to anyone as a very competent estate planning atty. She made it a pleasant experience, despite challenges.

I like that he listened to me, I like that he was able to visualize my objectives, and what I was trying to accomplish. He gave me some great advice, took time, sat down with me after everything was drawn up to answer any questions. The office has been very responsive. He was able to visualize what I wanted. One of the areas, for example, that he helped me out with included dropping a will, medical directives and setting up a trust. They were very friendly. In my professional life, I've worked with a lot of attorneys, and some are arrogant and condescending. But his whole firm was very professional. They appeared to be genuinely interested in what I wanted to accomplish. Once again gave advice, answered questions. They were very friendly and professional.

They provide excellent service. They are very personable and professional. Jeff was thorough -- I understood everything and he followed through. I have a great overall satisfaction level, and I got a great conclusion in my case. I didn't have to worry about anything.

I rate them very high because of the service I received, as well as their excellent responsiveness. My experience was very good. Scheduling an appointment with Katherine was very easy.

Working with Jeffrey P. Scott & Associates was a positive experience, as well as a learning experience. They're quite knowlegeable. I appreciated the high level of service and their thoroughness.

We contacted the Jeff Scott office upon the recommendation of a friend. We wished to have an estate plan developed and update our will. We worked with Katherine Wertheim Iacarella, one of the associates in the office. The process was straightforward and efficient. Katherine was very knowledgeable and assured of the process and associated laws, and the various options of how to approach the details of the estate plan. There was no cost to the initial meeting, and the fee structure to accomplish the estate plan was a flat fee, all costs clearly explained up front, no surprises. I called a couple other estate planning attorneys to compare the fee with other offices, and the fee quoted by Katherine was more reasonable than any other fee I was quoted by other offices, and it was difficult to find other offices who were willing to have a package fee (instead they seem to charge per item and were non-specific about the exact fee per item and not willing to give a total amount). The transparent and packaged fee structure is one of the key advantages of working with this office. I would definitely recommend this office for your will and estate planning needs.

Jeff explained everything thoroughly. We went back three times, and all three experiences were just very positive. Jeff was so cordial and helpful. He explained everything. I always have a lot of questions and I asked many questions. Jeff was very patient and very understanding throughout the process.
