Estate planning for 2 separate projects

Wade and his staff, especially Carla and Sandy , his supporing associates who were in our projects, were high in our satifaction rating. They listened well to our questions with patience and provided satisfactory feedbacks - no rushing reactions from them. We highly recommed their excellent servi...ces. Thank you very much!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Wade Scott is one of the most trustworthy and nicest men I've ever met! He saved our parents thousands & protected their assets!

I could tell as soon as I stepped foot into the comforting office of The Delaware Elder Law Center (and was immediately greeted by the cutest little dog) that we were in the right hands, and that this is a business that is family owned and operated, because we were treated like family, too. The enti...re process went so smoothly, and we were all shocked and SO relieved at how much money we saved by planning ahead and getting my mom ready for long term Medicaid. If you need an Elder Law attorney or have questions about estate planning and long term Medicaid qualification, look no further than The Delaware Elder Law Center. Their rates are very very reasonable, and it is definitely an investment you do not want to take chances on. Thank you so much, Wade and team!

Unparalleled

My dealings with Wade Scott was a welcome and positive experience during an otherwise difficult period in my life. His knowledge, work ethic and dedication are top notch. All the bases of my issue were expertly covered and allowed me to focus on the other matters at hand without having to worry about... legal issues at hand. He adds a personal touch that can only be achieved through genuine compassion for his clients. Wade Scott stands above all others in his field.

Knowledgeable and Compassionate

Wade Scott is a compassionate and knowledgeable attorney who works for the best interest and protection of his clients. I have nothing but respect for him and his abilities. I would recommend him to anyone who needs assistance with an elder family member or friend.

Compassionate! Extremely Knowledgeable! Professional!

It involved a situation that had to come together very quickly. He pulled in key individuals that were required to make everything happen and made sure everything was ready to go in time. More importantly, everything was done with a high level of professionalism equally matched by his compassion... and knowledge of the law.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
