I was so pleased with the representation I received from Mr. Scholtens a decade ago that I sought his legal counsel again recently for my son. My son and I met with Mr. Scholtens twice prior to going to court. As soon as my son's second meeting began, it was clear Mr. Scholtens had done a great deal of research and ground work on his behalf. He had really gone above and beyond. He shared with us best and worst case scenarios. He was very clear that despite all his work, my son was most likely facing some very scary consequences that would be almost impossible to escape. To make a long story short, we trusted Mr. Scholtens at every turn. In the end, my son got a better outome than any we had dreamed possible!! After seeing our lawyer in action, my son and I knew we had made the right choice!!! it was obvious that my son's favorable result was due to Mr. Scholtens wisdom and experience as he navigated this case. As a parent, I also appreciated Mr. Scholtens wise counsel to my son before AND after court. I believe that my son learned more than a legal lesson through his interaction with Mr. Scholtens. He was more than just a lawyer to my son. I believe his compassion, clarity, and fatherly advice made a lasting impression on my son. My son is a better young man because of his brief yet impactful relationship with Jay Scholtens. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!!
