SHAREHOLDER
Scott graduated cum laude from Northern Illinois University’s College of Law in 1994 and joined his father in the practice of law at that time. Scott received his undergraduate degree in accounting from St. John’s University. Scott’s accounting skills led seamlessly to his primary legal focus – estate planning, probate and trust administration, guardianships and business law.
At Seraphin & Rogers, Ltd. Scott seeks to apply the law to each individual client’s unique situation. Scott has a firm belief that as an attorney, he can guide his clients through life’s most challenging moments. When a client needs assistance in administering a loved one’s estate, “The first thing I want all clients to know is that they are not alone, and that my job is to help them through a difficult time.” If a client is seeking estate planning, Scott guides them through the various options that are available. “With my understanding of both federal and state tax law, estate planning, trusts and wills, I’m able to employ a full range of tools to assist my clients.”
A lifelong St. Charles resident, Scott enjoys spending time in his community. He and his wife, Linda have five children and a growing number of grandchildren. They are involved members of St. Patrick Catholic Church where Scott is a member of the Finance Council.

He is also past president and a current member of the Fox Valley Estate Planning Council, a group of professionals that focuses on estate planning issues.
