Scott is very professional, personable, reasonably priced and explains everything in an easy to understand manner. Kim, his administrative assistant is also very friendly and accommodating.

Awesome Estate Planner and Great Guy
In 2006 my wife and I decided to create an Estate Package (Wills, Trusts, POA, Medical Directive); since then, A LOT has changed in our lives. We have had more kids, people have passed away, people have moved, and unfortunately, people do not get along. When reviewing our paperwork because of a special needs child, we found that our paperwork was very outdated and could hurt some family members the way it was drafted.
We looked around for someone we could trust, who would listen, who cared about us (Yes, we are a customer, but to us, we were planning for our future, and we wanted some who cared about us as people, not just a file).
Scott met with us two or three times over zoom to go over ideas, thoughts, and suggestions. He answered questions over the phone and was always there when we needed him. Since we were doing this during the pandemic in some of our zoom calls, our kids needed us – his kids needed him (it showed us Scott was a real person, a dad, and he got how important this was to us). I could not have asked for a better lawyer.
I will always recommend Scott for all your Estate planning needs. Scott, we will see you in about three years!!

Very Satisfied
We were very happy with all the work Scott Welch put into our will and trust! He was very professional and took the time to explain different options to us as well as time to explain and go over our finished product. I will definitely recommend him to others looking for a will or other similar services.

Knowledgeable, professional, down to earth, all around an awesome man. im proud to have him on my team.
Unlike many other times I've sought legal advice for situations, or decisions I was faced with, working Scott was totally a UNIQUE experience. His slogan fits him perfectly. "Reinventing how it's practiced" is accurate. I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE HIM ON MY TEAM!
He has earned my trust, respect, and admiration as a professional and as a good human being. Rare and awesome.

We made an excellent choice!!
We recently had a family member pass away and her estate was in disarray. As the Executor, and living out of state, we didn't feel we had the knowledge to undertake all the necessary steps to resolve her estate. Luckily, through a search on Yelp and Google we contacted Scott. Now we know how refreshing it is to work with an Attorney that provides clear answers, the correct steps to comply with Missouri Probate law.....AND who actually returns e-mails and phone calls promptly.
Would strongly recommend!!

Complete package
I am a dentist and all I wanted was for the record to be set straight but I was blessed with more than I could ever imagine. I did not know the man I sobbed to on the phone as a sat on the edge of my tub would win my case. The minute I heard Mr. Welch’s voice I was relieved. His sincere voice sounded like he would never let me down. Soon after we met and I can tell immediately his voice matches his appearance: a calm mellow man who is there for you. This lawyer is the best mouthpiece you can have. He has a grand ability to know where you are coming from. Every word I said was recorded in his brain and he was able to rephrase my thoughts in a legal sense as if I said it myself. He keeps it real. Mr. Welch takes his time to know his clients that after a few encounters I thought I was talking to another dentist. Mr. Welch totally transformed to understand your position and point of view. He is gifted in his field. He explained every step making sure I understood the process. Mr. Welch and his paralegal made every effort to help me through this difficult process. As I sent his office documents, they were reviewed and positive feedback and suggestions were received giving me the feeling that time stood still just for me. His incredibly supportive staff went above and beyond representing me with such courteous, professionalism and excellent time management. Once in the court room, Mr. Welch animal instinct transformed him again this time into a fierce, compelling, sharp and driven creature with a winning attitude. Mr. Welch is a fighter with a pure heart. I was so proud of him and fortunate for myself to have Mr. Welch for I knew I won with his first words. He positively transformed my life and I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again, if needed. It’s simple. If you believe you deserve nothing but the best counsel, look no more: Mr. Welch IS the best attorney at law.
Scott is an outstanding attorney. Throughout my representation I felt that he truly cared about my case. He worked endlessly to ensure the best possible outcome. This was accomplished by his “no stone left unturned” approach. He was very communicative every step of the way and granted my mind peace during the most trying and controversial time in my life. Although he is relatively early on in his legal career he used his resources and network expertly. His attention to detail coupled with his knowledge and research ability allowed me to be proven not guilty in a case where four other lawyers recommended I negotiate a plea bargain. He believed in me when no one else would and because of his due diligence I have been able to spend the past year with my loved ones rather than behind bars for a crime I did not commit. Although I cannot adequately express the appreciation I have for Scott he was truly a godsend to me and I am certain he will be for you. I highly recommend Scott Welch.

"Scott is a sharp, hard-working attorney who gets things done. I believe the discipline that he learned in the military combined with his knowledge of the law make him an incredible weapon for businesses looking to properly set up shop or take things to the next level. I recommend Scott with no reservations."
Business Attorney | Feb 14
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Scott brings a common sense approach to helping his small-business clients meet their legal needs. Many business owners have other advisors (accountants, financial advisors, etc.), and Scott works collaboratively with other professional advisors to make sure his clients receive excellent service. Scott's experience in the JAG Corps gives him a broad background, which enables him to recognize issues that his clients may face -- even before those issues become problems.
As a member of the bar, Scott maintains the highest standards of honor and integrity. As a peer, he is quick to brainstorm ideas when I simply need another experienced attorney to provide perspective.
Scott is responsive, down-to-earth and approachable. He puts clients at ease and makes sure they understand their rights."
