Attorney Spotlight
Scott G. Ferriss

“I’ve been fortunate to have a career that has allowed me to see workers’ compensation from both sides, and I’m grateful to continue that work at Aafedt Forde. Hosting Hot AF has also been a rewarding opportunity to share my passion for the practice (and hot sauce) while connecting with colleagues and professionals throughout the industry.”
Scott G. Ferriss is a shareholder at Aafedt, Forde, Gray, Monson & Hager, P.A., bringing extensive experience in workers’ compensation litigation. After spending four years representing insurers and employers, he gained additional insight working as a plaintiff’s attorney before returning to defense work. Scott is also the host of our video podcast Hot AF.
Before pursuing law, Scott worked as a Legislative Assistant in Washington, D.C., advising on key policy issues. He earned his J.D. from William Mitchell College of Law and is admitted to practice in all Minnesota State Courts and the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
