"In less than 24 hours my children were interviewed and removed from my home by DHS. I found myself facing a founded child abuse charge, a CINA for both children, and most likely the loss of my job. I was advised by a trusted friend, who just happened to be a professional in the field of social work, to get a good lawyer and get in front of this situation. I found a good lawyer -Scott Bandstra. Scott's expertise in this area of law was crystal clear right from the start. He quickly began filing paperwork for my case and took the time to either call or email me the who, what, when, where and why regarding my case. I found it ever so reassuring to know he had plan B for the possible outcomes at every step in the process. Aside from his shining professional work on my case was his experienced, intuitive attention to the human aspect of the situation. After all he was fighting for my family... for what was best for my children. Scott called me before each court appearance to go over the details. More importantly he purposely reminded me that I was a good mom, that my anxious feelings were normal and to keep on doing the "right things." The combination of his extensive and successful experience with the law in cases like mine and the reassurance that he would "go to the mat" for my family are why I can truly recommend Scott Bandstra. He is more than a good lawyer. He is an outstanding human being.”
