I found Scottie after talking to about 10 different lawyers, some were overly aggressive, promising the moon and stars and asking for a lot of money. I wanted a lawyer who cared about me as a person, understood my position as a single mom and who I knew would truly be an advocate for myself and my baby. That is Exactly what Scottie was! She not only kicked butt in the court room but she gave me back my voice after I was kicked down mentally and verbally from the abuse I endured via the father of my child.
Scottie was always very realistic about how the courts handle custody cases and what I could REALLY ask for/expect. She didn’t sell me a dream to leave me hanging.
She stood by my side and delivered! My custody hearing went the best it could for my daughter and I, as Scottie was able to get me everything I requested from the judge!
Scottie gets a 10/10 In my book!
Met with Scottie beginning in 2017 for my divorce. My ex had an issue with teen porn and other things I won't go into. Scottie listened and helped me in great detail document all of it and protect myself and my son from a long battle in court. I filed for divorce in 2018.
After my divorce was final in June of 2019, Scottie helped me with another legal matter and was as incredibly responsive and helpful as she was going into the divorce.
Scottie will be my "go to attorney" for all matters she handles moving forward!
I have lived in the Temecula valley since 1989 and spent my entire 27 years of practice helping those families in our community. I spent over 11 years specializing in domestic violence. To me, that means always fighting for my client, and being ethical, kind, honest and compassionate at all times.

Excellent Advocate
I consulted with Family Law Matters for a domestic violence restraining order that I filed against my wife. She had a criminal and a civil restraining orders against her. She abused me during our entire marriage and decided to file a restraining order against me. After I decided to hire this firm, Scottie was assigned to my case and she was amazing. She kept me informed at all times. Her legal team was helpful and kept me current on my case. I did not have to initiate any calls asking for updates. This was a very tough and dark time in my life and I am glad I had these people on my side. They walked me through it all.
