Great attorney
From my first consultation with Yvie, through the very last court date, she was absolutely great. She didn't "sugar coat," but rather spoke the facts with an underlying tone of empathy that just made it really easy to work with her. She knows her stuff and provided good, solid advise. Jaime, her...

Eternal gratitude
After leaving Miss Scoggins office yesterday, I felt like the weight of the world had been removed from my shoulders. It has been a stressful two years with my previous attorney. After an hour with her, I learned more about my situation than I even dreamed of or knew of from my previous attorney wh...
"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."
"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."
"Yvie is extremely knowledgeable and she is diligent in obtaining the best results for her clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"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."
