Our Legal Areas of Expertise

At Scott Law Offices, we offer personal attention and experienced representation so we can best meet the individual needs of our clients. We are well prepared to assist with the sensitive issues involved in both Family Law and Criminal Defense matters. We represent clients in the following types of cases:

Divorce

Divorce in Arizona can be a stressful experience for all involved. Whether the parties are able to settle the divorce out of court or move forward with litigation, it is important for them to understand their rights. As Phoenix divorce attorneys, we guide our clients through even the most difficult divorce reducing stress and regaining control over your life. We are experienced in virtually all divorce matters including the division of property, division of debts, awards of spousal maintenance or alimony.

Child Custody

Phoenix custody and visitation proceedings place the children in the middle of the dispute and are often the focus in family court. The uncertainty of family court proceedings can cause a strain on all involved, including the children. We work with each client to assist in reaching an agreement with regard to who has legal custody of a child before placing that decision in the hands of the court. When settlement is not possible, we pursue litigation to ensure the orders for custody and visitation are in the best interests of the children. Also, we ensure an appropriate parenting time schedule is adopted.

Criminal Defense

We assist our clients with virtually all felonies and misdemeanors in Maricopa County. Whether charged with a Phoenix DUI, forgery crime, domestic violence charges, drug offenses, possession of marijuana, shoplifting, theft or other felony or misdemeanor charges, it is important that the client and their family recognize the possible outcomes of the case and how a potential result can affect their future. We provide valuable knowledge and specialized skills to help our clients navigate through their case and protect their interests.

Child Support

When children are involved in a divorce, custody or paternity action, child support questions inevitably arise. In most family law matters child support will be calculated and ordered. We understand the effects and importance child support proceedings can have on a family. Whether establishing child support for the first time or seeking a child support modification, our child support lawyers work with clients to ensure that we have all of the information necessary to accurately calculate child support under the Arizona Child Support Guidelines.
