Scott represented me for a founded DHS child abuse appeal that placed me on the central child abuse registry. When I had my initial free consultation with him, he spent almost an hour explaining the appeal process. When I saw how knowledgeable he was I knew I he was the right attorney for me. During ...every step of the process he was very detail oriented and made sure I had a complete understanding of what was going on. Scott’s experience and persistence got me a desirable outcome; my child abuse report was amended from a founded abuse and my name was removed from the child abuse registry. He did this by negotiation with the assistant attorney general to avoid going to hearing/trial so that he could save me as much money as possible. If I need help with anything in the future, I would choose Scott Bandstra to represent me again.

Scott L. Bandstra has been representing me in legal issues involving my grandchild's visitation since March 2019, and I can't say enough good things about him. He's professional and on top of the game! He has a compassionate side that I have failed to see in other lawyers representing me. I feel c...onfident with him by my side in a courtroom, and highly recommend him to any potential client.

"Scott Bandstra represented our family for several years through a very long legal battle. He began in 2011 helping with the protection of my children from their biological mother who was an active drug user. Then with my divorce being final in 2012, Scott was very engaged and always made it undeniab...le that my kids and I were treated fairly. His legal advice was always spot on, and his knowledge of the laws and regulations required in the state of Iowa, allowed our case to be handled in a professional and proactive way. Scott represented me during the Termination of Parental Rights against my children's biological mother in May of 2016. Scott also represented my wife and I in the adoption process for my children in November of 2016. We have had positive experiences and wonderful outcomes in the past five years, and if ever needed we will choose his services again. Scott was personable, proactive, and allowed our family peace of mind because of his exceptional representation. There were certainly no doubts from his thorough counsel, or from the steady progression we seen throughout each legal matter. We continue to tell our friends and family of his outstanding legal representation, and we highly recommend his aptitudes."
