About Scott
Biography
I've been a lawyer for over 25 years now, focusing almost exclusively on Family Law for all of those years. I am in excellent standing with the State Bar of California and have never had any disciplinary actions taken against me by the Bar. (You would be surprised how many attorneys have.) Also, in over 25 years of practice, I have never paid for advertising, including with AVVO...no internet, no newspaper, no radio advertising. I don't even have a website. 100% of my work comes from referrals from other other happy clients or people who have seen my reviews online. This is because I'm honest, I charge a reasonable fee, I work hard, and I get great results. While I can never guarantee those results, I'm confident that you'll be happy with my work. (Google my name and you will see that I have almost nothing but 5-star reviews anywhere on the internet.)
I help all types of clients with their Family Law cases...everything from standard, middle-class earners, to high-asset, and high-profile cases. Please feel free to contact my office to set up a telephone, or in-office consultation.

Disorganized office and very difficult to communicate
I’m very disappointed with his service. Our contract is over July 2022 but I’m still getting invoice from his office. The reason why I had to change Mr Scott to my new lawyer because it was very difficult to communicate with him. He won’t reply my emails/texts, I always had to call his paralegal in...

My real life guardian angel
I went onto thumbtack to look for an attorney which was pretty late, and he replied to me within 5 mins! Messaged me directly from his phone. It was 4 days before my court day.

Saved my bacon
My ex took me back to court for more money. I didn't have much time at all. Scott jumped in and got up to speed fast and did a great job at trial. I was very lucky to find him.
