The Ames police referred me for a civil matter. This firm didnt even think about my case, It was an immediate no. Okay, well the police told me I have a civil case. So, now what?
Upon the death of my father, we were unable to find an executed copy of his will (document was drawn up by Katherine Scott of New Point) and we emailed Katherine to inquire if she/New Point could please provide the signed doc and we followed up with two very short (literally 5-minute phone calls). Of course, it was a very emotional time full duties, but more so of grief and...
Upon the death of my father, we were unable to find an executed copy of his will (document was drawn up by Katherine Scott of New Point) and we emailed Katherine to inquire if she/New Point could please provide the signed doc and we followed up with two very short (literally 5-minute phone calls).
Of course, it was a very emotional time full duties, but more so of grief and all of the emotions that come with losing a father/husband, and what we received from Katherine were brief, very cold and clipped responses, along with an invoice for over $150; she actually billed us for communicating to us that she had not kept an executed copy of the Will on file.
When my dad was in the hospital days before his death and we were discussing end-of-life arrangements, he said he did not like the attorney that drafted his Will and she was rude and difficult to deal with. Now I understand.
Please go elsewhere and find an attorney that is professional and kind.

John is representing me as a plaintiff in an acrimonious family inheritance case involving the trustee’s misuse of the trust’s funds and the inadequacy of the documentation required of a trustee. To complicate matters I live on the East Coast so most of my communication was via email and telephone. Throughout the case John has been compassionate about my emotional pain at the same time he has carefully guided the legal dispute to the facts and the legal issues. He has been very conscious about the cost of litigation and done what he could to minimize it. I left the trial proud of John’s calm approach despite considerable provocation. So far the results have been very good. I would highly recommend him if you need an attorney. Rachel Paff
Very saddened and concerned that after 8 years of representation an thousands of dollars, she has no regard to conflict of interest or my privacy. Only their "current clients" If you are no longer their current client your personal information is no longer private and your own counsel will use that information against you. Remember that.
