A great lawyer

Ms Scoggins-Gamez concluded my lawsuit within three months after my previous lawyer had let it drag on for almost two years. She and her staff worked hard and kept me informed. I could not ask more from a lawyer. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer.

Great help

I have used her twice and both times she has helped me too reach my goad with the custody of my kids. She guided me through my divorce and also with my custody modification. I would absolutely hire her again.

SSG

Absolutely fantastic to work with ! Through keeping my ex-wife‘s attorney in check as well as always being on the attack in the courtroom Yive fought for my rights as well as my child’s continuously. After doing coparenting class and social study we were able to ensure my child’s stability and... safety living with me primarily in ensuring that he was not anywhere near the violence that was taking place at the other household . And that is very hard to do As the father. If you are looking for someone that’s going to take your back and fight for what’s right definitely give her a call specially if you are a father looking to maintain your rights. Divorces and custody battles are not easy and are stressful, you want to use the best attorney out there to have your side and in my personal opinion there is no better attorney in the DFW area.

Yvie Scoggins-Gamez's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Yvie
Scott Allan Cornuaud headshot
Scott Cornuaud

Child custody lawyer | Oct 29

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I will be honest, when I saw that Yvie Scoggins-Gamez was opposing counsel on a local case, and she was an attorney from Dallas, I expected her to be rude, arrogant, and interested in billable hours over the best interests of her client. However, we were able to settle a case in an informal settlement conference without ruining a family with unnecessary court litigation, silly posturing, or unreasonable demands. The settlement agreement out clients ended up with was fair and equitable for both parents, and more importantly, the agreement was in the best interests of the child. I have no doubt that she would be a tough opponent in court, but she definitely looks out for her clients first, in my opinion."

Family lawyer | Aug 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Throughout twenty years of law practice, I've seen a number of attorneys that talk a big game, but have little substance to actually back it up when it matters. Ms. Scoggins-Gamez shows up to court prepared. She knows the law. More importantly, she knows how to use the law to effectively represent her clients by filing the proper motions. Her goal always seems to be effective advocacy. Unlike many "boutique" firms, she does not file motions simply for the sake of filing motions to burn up a client's retainer. She wants to make sure that each client is gets their money's worth at her firm because she is a professional, not just an attorney running a business venture. She is a peer that I'm honored to endorse."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this attorney because she is one of the most detailed and diligent attorneys that I have ever met. I have been out of commission for a few months and my office has consistently referred clients to her and she has done amazing work for them. I would trust her to handle any family law matter."
