About Scottie
Biography
I have lived in the Temecula valley since 1989 and spent my entire 34 years of practice helping those families in our community. I spent over 13 years specializing in domestic violence. To me, that means always fighting for my client, and being ethical, kind, honest and compassionate at all times.
