Professional, Efficient, Accommodating, Experienced

Mr. Yeager was hired to establish and navigate an estate case for me and deceased father. He and his staff were proactive and vigilant throughout the entire process and they made it very easy for me, they were trustworthy and to the point. They maintained open and timely communication with me and co...ncisely highlighted was to be expected through each step of the process. I genuinely felt comfortable working with Mr. Yeager and his team and they made me feel as if my case was a priority. Cost of service was also fair and accommodating.

Service

Mr. Yeager was consulted, and hired after I spoke with him. He was very honest, and well versed in business law. He didn't leave out any detail when delving into the contract. We are proceeding, and I look forward to working with such a professional.

Business start up

I used Scott for the start up of two businesses. One incorporation and one LLC. He walked me through all the steps, created all the necessary documents, meeting agendas, officers, etc. He has a down to earth, speak your language, personality which makes it easy to communicate and get the job done ...correctly. He processed all the government and state forms to get my businesses up and running. I also used him for the creation of my will.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
