Scott Rogers was very helpful and informative when we met with him in his office. He is very compassionate and takes his job of explaining estate planning options very seriously. He went above and beyond to make sure that we understood our options and made suggestions that would save us time, money and added hassle in the event that something would happen to our family in the future and a will was needed. Scott did not have to offer the added services that he did, but was thoughtful enough to do so. He was respectful of our wishes and answered all of our questions fully. If you are looking for a lawyer who is well versed in estate planning, is professional and friendly, we full recommend him. As a young family, we appreciated his knowledge and advice charting unknown territory.

I met Scott after my mom passed away as I was appointed to be the executor of her estate. On our first meeting I was somewhat apprehensive as never having any dealings with an attorney. Scott came to that first meeting being very professional and very easy to work with. He walked us through the process of how things should go and made a difficult situation as easy to deal with as he could. I would definitely recommend Scott to anyone needing an attorney.

We have been blessed to know attorney Scott Rogers of Peters Law Firm in Council Bluffs, Iowa, for more than 6 years. His guidance and compassion have been immeasurably valuable to us.
Our parents were reasonably independent and living in their own house, thanks to frequent visits, meal preparations, housework, errands, and facilitating trips to doctors by their daughter Jeannine who lived an hour away. Mom had Alzheimer's disease, so Dad did his best to handle her medications. Our Dad was secretive about their financial affairs, so we had very limited knowledge about their powers of attorney, wills, investments, and preferences for potential future living arrangements.
Then at the end of 2014, Dad suffered his second broken hip from which he was never to fully recover. What had been some cognitive and memory problems collapsed into obvious dementia. Due to the severity of his physical and mental condition, and our Mom's worsening Alzheimer's disease, the doctors at the hospital would not release Dad until we had found a skilled nursing facility for both our parents.
It was then that we contacted our parents' attorney, Scott Rogers. Scott immediately stepped up to bat for us as we were thrust into the labyrinth of decisions and actions we needed to take on behalf of our parents. He continually guided us through the process of making the best possible decisions for our parents, and through the actions needed to initiate those decisions. He helped us locate and act on their durable powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, wills, and trust documents. He was always there for us as we decided on our parents' future living arrangements, found the best skilled nursing care for them, pulled assets from their accounts to pay their bills, arranged for the sale of their house and cars, and prevented them from driving. As our Dad and then our Mom eventually passed away, Scott provided critical advice and guidance in handling their affairs. We also greatly appreciate Scott's personal support, even to the extent of a funeral home visitation upon our Dad's death.
Scott has been God sent. Without him, we would not have known what questions to ask, let alone how to answer them. His professional guidance, his personal compassion, and his overall support were far more than we expected. In the strongest terms possible, we highly recommend attorney Scott Rogers.

Scott was very knowledgeable and helpful in handling our mom's estate. He went overeacb detail with us, never made us feel rushed or like our time didn't matter. It was a pleasure working with someone who helped make such a hard time in our lives less stressful. I'd recommend Scott to anyone who needs he's expertise.
