What People Say About Us

Client Testimonials

We consulted a few highly recommended attorneys for our estate planning. Scott and his paralegal Sarah were the only one who gave us a fair price up front and stuck to it. We are schoolteachers and definitely needed this to stay within our budget. Not only was the process broken down and easy to understand, but the final product was clearly organized in a nice binder. We also had an enriching discussion about steps to take to mitigate family risk. I highly recommend Scott and Sarah's team for your estate planning needs.

"Scott is an excellent attorney. He was my divorce lawyer and also represented me in my post divorce custody and child support case. He knows the law and very experienced. He is very affable, reliable, and his legal fees are fair and reasonable. He listened to my concerns and goals, and worked diligently to address them to my satisfaction. I've already recommended him to several friends and acquaintances, and I'll continue to do so!"

Excellent experience! Meghan was so thorough with all our document preparation and was very patient with explaining every inch of our family trust. We started fresh (it was over 12-years since our first trust) and was an excellent experience. I highly recommend Meghan and this law firm. We were very delighted with our experience. Thank you Meghan for making something so hard to do such an easy experience.

"Mr. Sumner did some estate planning for our family. His process was flawless, well-conceived and individualized. We needed a few oddball items for which he supplied the legal background and wordsmithing necessary to clarify our needs."

"My wife and I were both pleased with the professional services by Scott Sumner and Associates. The entire staff is extremely competent, friendly, and well qualified for all our needs."

Excellent! Very clear and helpful! Meghan is an outstanding lawyer! She was very patient with my wife and I as we pulled things together for our trust and living will. She was very thorough, very clear, and very helpful. She explained everything to us at whatever pace was necessary for us to fully understand what needed to be done. She never rushed us. I've already referred her to several family members, friends and coworkers.

"I truly believe, from my own personal experience, that you will be hard pressed to find the very best in representation and legal advise as you will from Scott Sumner and his team. Scott and his right hand expert in the office, Sarah, demonstrated their knowledge and expertise with the process and law and were always available to answer my calls or return them same day..."

"I'm a University of Michigan retiree and in 2015 they offered legal services through Hyatt. So I took advantage of this to get a trust set up saving about $2,000. One of Scott's associates was very helpful working with us and we got it taken care of."

"We used Sumner and Associates to assist us with a home builder who failed to complete several repairs on our newly constructed home. Scott was very professional and comfortable to work with. He contacted the builder and was able to expedite the needed repairs, much to our satisfaction. Scott has also represented me for traffic violations, again with excellent results. We would highly recommend Sumner and Associates."

Meghan assisted with creating our family trust. We did not know Meghan prior to this visit and we were very pleased we had the opportunity to work with her during the entire process. She is confident, extremely knowledgeable and has a very calming and pleasant. demeanor. We very much appreciated meeting and working with Meghan. Thanks, Meghan!

"I went to Scott Sumner to handle preparing a full trust for myself and my husband. We recently had our first child and wanted to be sure that we have things in place should something happen. Scott and his team were great at working with us, answering questions and getting us prepared. We now have peace of mind knowing that our little one is protected and a plan in place for her. I will see Scott and team for any future needs should they arise. Great experience!!!!!"

"Attorney Sumner and with his assistant Sarah Aldred created wills, and a trust, durable power of attorney, and healthcare directives for my wife and I. He provided lots of useful instructions and reasons to help us properly implement the plan, and provided an organized binder containing the legal documents and information for survivors to more easily carry on and carry out our wishes."

"My wife and I had a will/trust set up. Much of this was new to us - Scott did an excellent job explaining the details of what we were doing and why, was patient in answering our questions, and ensured we were satisfied and understood things before we left. I'd recommend him to anyone thinking of setting up a will or trust."

Meghan is very knowledgeable and professional. Very nice as well. I would recommend this attorney.
