Probate

Scott Rogers handled my father's probate with excellence and care. He was very understanding of our lack of knowledge of the process, but explained each step thoroughly. He took action as needed and required and gave us confidence that my father's wishes were carried out. I highly recommend Scott.

Personable & Trustworthy

Scott has been our family and extended families' attorney since we moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa in 2000. He has updated our Wills, Family Trust docments and been available for consultation and decision making assistance whenever we wanted to get his opinion. A couple of the times he cheerfully pe...rmitted us to interrupt his family vacation to give us advice. Within the past month we refinanced a rental property which was a part of our Family Trust. A "Groan" was my first verbal interaction with the Bank's Mortgage Loan Processor when she heard about the Family Trust holding the Loan. The impressive part of this refinance occurred just before the closing. The Loan Processor called to inform me that the refinance was finalized and how grateful she was for his professionalism. All went smoothly and that she wanted me to know how very helpful he was in assisting the process to completion.

Real Estate transaction, Will, and set up of LLC

Scott has helped me with legal help in a Real Estate transaction, a personal will and set up an LLC with my partners. He has always been professional and at the same time given me great suggestions on options to consider that was in my best interest. I know that when I bought RE property he recomme...nded an abstract and helped clean up several discrepancies with the property lines and possible risks that needed attention with releases and clearer language. He has always looked out for my personal interests and will do the extra things that only an attorney would think of. I would highly recommend Scott as your attorney.

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.
