Working with Scott Anderson was a great experience. Scott was very knowledgeable and professional. He was there to help me through email, text and speaking over the phone. He made my case go very smooth and got the outcome that I was hoping for. He gave me pointers that would help my case and encouraged me to finish them in a timely manner. He was available to talk whenever I had questions and went through the court process so I was able to clearly understand what was going on. I could rely on him through out this whole process. I am so happy and thankful for him and all of his help through this rough spot in my life.

Scott Anderson was professional, knowledgeable, patient and familiar with the legal system in Anoka County. Legal system being what it is, Scott went to bat for the best deal under the circumstances, with much you can never guarantee. He clearly has been practicing for many years and that will always help. He handled all the details, petition and negotiation at an expert level. His paperwork was 100% accurate, something I care very much about. If you need representation, he definitely cares about his clients and will help you to not make simple mistakes, like offering more information than what is requested. Value over cost, this attorney takes the time and required steps to ease the stressful process. The best of what you can ask for when you need it.

Scott negotiated the best plea on my behalf. He went above and beyond explaining what was being done. He took the time to explain what steps needed to be completed and what I needed to do. He is very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions as we went through the legal process.
