Pat Waldron provided excellent service and walked alongside us through the entire process of what otherwise would have been a very stressful experience. Thank you to the entire team at Patterson Law Firm!

Excellent law firm!

Scott handled my case exactly how I asked. He got what I needed done a lot easier than I expected. I absolutely reccomend him!

Scott Bandstra is not only an amazing lawyer but an amazing person who cares about each case individually. I am blessed to have met him and have him represent me in various cases.

Scott Bandstra has been extremely helpful throughout some of the hardest times of my life. He has always taking the extra step to help me in any way he can. He makes me feel confident in his work and the results were better then expected. He takes his work seriously and will explain very detail of what is going on. I highly recommend him to any and everyone I know. He is very professional and good at what he does. He will definitely be my lawyer for anything I need in life. I cannot explain how good it feels to have a lawyer who cares about your situation. It's not just about the money for him and I can say that with confidence. He has a huge heart and cares about his clients. I am very satisfied!

I recently hired Scott Bandstra to help me with my appeal against DHS. I was looking at 10 years on the Registry and thanks to Bandstra Law and the Lord my case was changed to Confirmed but not placed on the registry! Scott and his team took their job very seriously and handled every aspect in a professional and quick manner. I am able to continue my career as a Preschool teacher ❤️❤️ truly blessed!

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.

When I needed a skilled attorney with compassion Scott and his team walked me through a difficult divorce. Scott explained everything so I understood. Scott kept my best interest and my kids the priority.

Scott represented me in a child custody case and I was very impressed with the level of service I received from him, and his assistant Katie. From my initial consultation when Scott personally answered his phone and spent 45 minutes listening to my situation, through to the end, Scott always made me feel like I was his only client and was thorough in all his work. He provided me many options with best and worse case-scenario details. Scott is very knowledgeable in Iowa law and argues his cases giving countless examples from the Iowa law, complete with section numbers, and always kept a high level of integrity. I highly recommend choosing Scott Bandstra for any child custody situation.

Scott Bandstra is a very knowledgeable family attorney who truly cares about his clients. He is thorough in his explanations and attentive to all questions. Scott kept in contact often and was always available by phone or email. He understands coparenting life takes place outside of court and long after the battle is over - and always recommended taking the high road throughout the case; which was very respectable of him and important to us. Before choosing Bandstra Law Firm we called many firms and didn’t receive a level of service even close to what Scott provided on the initial consultation. That high quality of service continued throughout the entirety of the case and I would recommend Scott Bandstra to anyone looking for a child custody lawyer.

We truly wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for Scott. Him and his team work hard to explain everything clearly so you understand what goes on step by step. The communication is top notch! He does an amazing job. The way he represented us in our child custody case is something I can't even put into words. He went above and beyond for us and our children. The outcome was exactly what we wanted. I recommend him to anyone looking for legal services. You won't be disappointed!
