  Let me start with the positives.... he and his team get back to you pretty quickly and he is a great speaker. The challenge... He doesn't hear you completely. He and his team only reach out via email and phone and he will attend your hearing via zoom. He is way too expensive for that and I do believe not meeting with your clients personally can bring challenges to understanding them better as a lot can get lost in translation when all your communication is through email. It was a very expensive disappointment and would recommend going with someone who is able to meet with you.

  Attorney Scott has a great deal of expertise as an attorney. I am glad to have had an in person consultation (can do by phone as well) as we talked and shared information he showed me so much more regarding the preparation of my Estate Planning Documents. I would highly recommend Attorney Scott to anyone seeking Estate Planning Document Preparation - Very Important Documents! Or, other legal issues he practices. As a degreed Paralegal, he is very personable, professional, an awesome sense of humor, and a great heartfelt attitude to help those who seek his expertise. Thank you Attorney Scott - blessings for your bright future!

  I had the pleasure to personally meet with Mr. Scott whom I found to be very polite and professional. Mr. Scott assisted me with inheritance issues and the drafting of a living trust. Mr. Scott is very knowledgeable in these legal matters. Also, Mr. Scott brought to my attention an extremely important matter regarding the sale of inherited real estate property which could have created problems for me. I highly recommend Mr. Scott and will refer him to family and friends.

  I never use gmail and, as usual, got confused so I had difficulty logging in. I eventually figured this out and voila! Seems to work fine if person has more experience than I do.

  Matthew Scott was referred to my parents by their banker when their trust needed to be updated. My Dad had not been thrilled with the original attorney who had written the original trust, and didn't really know what needed to be done after a title company had noted problems with the original trust when they sold their home. After a thorough initial interview and review of the trust with my father (with me along for moral and factual support as my father hates business meetings), Matthew knew exactly what needed to be done to solidify and strengthen the trust and made plans to do so in rapid order. At the next meeting, Matthew explained the new provisions thoroughly (and changed the previous 1 page check-marked power of attorney documents to 35 pages each for Mom and Dad) and most importantly set my parents at ease. Matthew showed great concern and warmth towards my mother, who has suffered cognitive impairment after a stroke, and made sure her concerns and questions were answered. He is efficient, professional, and fair and is so on top of changing practices, etc. My Dad was concerned he would need to pay for an entirely new trust document, but Matthew worked with what he had and made sure our family has its legal bases covered. The attorney who created the original trust finished her meeting with my Dad saying, "If you have any questions now that the trust is done I'm $450 an hour." Matthew said he doesn't charge for quick email questions and only charges for office visits if deemed necessary. Classy! Highly recommend!
