We met with Amanda Hespen to work on our Estate Planning. She made this process seamless. She was extremely helpful and professional. Amanda was very responsive to all our questions and inquiries. This was a very positive experience.

We worked with Amanda Hespen for our estate planning. We couldn't have been happier or more satisfied. Ms Hespen was extremely knowledgeable, insightful, and very professional. She and her staff were very easy to work with and she was very personably accessible by email or by phone which can be unusual for attorneys. I would not hesitate to use her again.

Very knowledgeable & reasonably priced

My husband and I came to Jeffrey Scott after having a very disappointing experience with another lawyer. He immediately drafted a letter to the other lawyer, and within a week the other lawyer had returned 1750 dollars that we thought was lost for good. He then completed our estate planning documents in a pleasant and efficient manner, and spelled everything out to us in language we could understand. We now feel confident and secure, whereas before meeting Jeffrey Scott we felt bewildered and overwhelmed.

Read all the reviews and thought this place would be helpful for my husband's probate as a grieving widow. NOT!!! The attorney called me back. I think his name was Jeff Something. The first thing out of his mouth was "you are not getting it all". When I asked what I could get, he told me it was a legal question and he couldn't answer that. When I asked him what the Minnesota Statute was for the Probate Law, he said he didn't have it right here. This firm does retirement and estate planning classes. All these google reviews are from those that attended the classes. In real life, they have no compassion for grieving widows or widowers nor do they know what the laws are or where they are found unless you pay them to tell you. If you are looking for a probate attorney, go somewhere else. I did and I found out I do get everything.

I met Amanda Hespen when she taught a Community Ed class in my local school district on estate planning. After her class I had a better idea of what I wanted, and knew that I would like to work with her. I responded to her questionnaire with some details about my wishes, but struggled with one section. Amanda set the document aside and told me not to worry about editing the document, just tell her what I wanted, and she captured my intent perfectly. The documents she created for me to bring to my banker to make account changes were perfect, and the banker was pleased with the clarity and completeness of Amanda’s instruction letter. Creating my estate plan with Amanda was a very personalized experience. I highly recommend her services.

Worked with Amanda Hespen back in 2017 to prepare a Will and Trust for my wife and I. She did a fantastic job, and I would highly recommend her. The detail and professionalism was top-notch. Liked her work so much, that we're using her for some legal work on closing a land purchase in Wisconsin. Thanks Amanda!

We had the pleasure to work with Attorney Amanda Hespen, regarding our Estate Planning. Amanda was very thorough, knowledgeable, and kind to work with. Thank you Amanda. We will definitely use your services in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Charissa Perzel Hall after the death of my mom. It was a difficult time, and I appreciated Charissa’s thoughtful counsel and excellent guidance throughout the probate period. The entire process went very smoothly, even though it involved the sale of a home and multiple parties (heirs). Each step along the way was clearly explained. I highly recommend Jeffrey P. Scott & Associates.

Amanda and her staff are fantastic. They are professional, but caring and attentive. She easily walked us through the process of creating new wills, power of attorney, and health care directives. The end product is exactly what I was hoping for.

I had the good luck and fortune of working with Jeffrey Scott after the death of my father in Minneapolis. When my father (rest his spirit) passed away, he left behind an old copy of a will, a home filled with filth, numerous creditors, and a complicated mess to manage. I recognized early on that managing his estate would require good legal advice, and I turned to a web search to determine who might be able to assist. Upon meeting Jeffrey Scott (and his team) I realized that this was a person I wanted to work with -- compassionate, mindful, and very knowledgeable. There was not a moment when I did not feel that I was in the best of hands and support managing the estate; many times Jeffrey brought the circumstances from confused and complicated to informed and clarified. I thoroughly recommend him and his team to anyone involved in a challenging probate process; he is precisely the kind of person you want on your team.
