What They Say...

I Couldn't Wait to Post This Positive Review

I am currently in the process of working with David Scott and his incredible team on my divorce. He was highly recommended by a family member. After working with him for a few weeks, I am starting to see why he was recommended to me. I know that I am only halfway through the process of this divorce, but I couldn’t wait to post this positive review for such great work and the smooth progression of this divorce. Once my divorce is finalized, which I know will be soon, I will post another review, and I am confident it will be positive. Thank you, David Scott, P.A. and Team

Carlos Perez
A Fantastic Law Team

David Scott and his team are winners! They were able to win 100% sole custody and responsibility for my Daughter, a rare occurrence in Florida for a father. The team were efficient, organized and fully committed to my case. David traveled to different counties in Florida defending me. David made himself available virtually anytime for me. I can’t recommend enough, simply a fantastic law team that is also affordable. They know all the ins and outs of family law in Florida. I can never thank them enough for what they did for my daughter and I.

Hunter Picken
A Team That Truly Cares About Helping Their Clients

I am beyond happy with David Scott Law firm and here is why.

I am facing fraudulent Domestic Violence and Child Abuse allegations brought on by my children’s mother. Mr. Scott, Gwen and Amalia are truly wonderful and caring team that truly care about helping their clients.

I was/am a difficult client due to the stress of the situation and allegations I’m facing. Their understanding and patience has been extremely helpful in these tough times.

Mr. Scott won the restraining order case and we are moving on to the next stage. I consider what I have paid to Mr.Scott as the most valuable investment I have ever made. I truly struck gold with David Scott Law, Gwen and Amalia. Words cannot express my gratitude happiness to have them in my corner.

Jay Taylor
Professional, Personable, Highly Skilled, Responsive to Calls

In my day-to-day business life, I cross paths with many attorneys, some exceptional some poor at best. Mr. Scott falls into the exceptional class. He is professional, personable, highly skilled, responsive to calls, and effectively follows up and follows through. He did not charge me for the 20-minute first meeting. His advice give me clarity and drew a realistic picture of the path forward and what it entailed. Subsequently, I hired him and was not disappointed. At the end of the day, I felt he genuinely cared and his knowledge definitely benefited my case.

Christopher Snyder, PA
Definitely Recommend This Guy

David is great! He is the lawyer for my fiancée and he got him more time sharing than he’s ever gotten before! It’s still an ongoing battle but we have 1000% faith in David that he will get us where we want to be. I definitely recommend this guy if you’re fighting a hard fight. I am so happy we decided to follow him into his own law firm! I would like to also add that he and his paralegal Amalia are also very attentive whether it be a phone call or an email.

I am pleased with Mr. Scott and his team. Their passion and professionalism are why my most recent court hearing went well. We have more work to do, but I feel very confident and comfortable with my decision to hire the Law Office of David Scott. Mr. Scott’s enthusiasm is what puts me at ease. I think he understands my frustrations and is fighting not just for me but with me.

Thank you for all your efforts put forth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Have to Live in Florida to Get Divorced in Florida?

Short answer: yes. In order to get divorced in Florida, you do have to meet the residency requirement. Either you or your spouse has to be a Florida resident for at least six months. You can show proof of your residency with a valid Florida driver’s license, which was issued more than six months prior to filing for divorce. A voter registration card would also work, or a Florida resident can complete an affidavit or testify on your behalf.

Can the Court Change a Parenting Plan?

The courts recognize that the age of the child and many other circumstances might necessitate a modification to the original parenting plan. If the parents agree to the modification then the court will most likely allow that modification. It shows that the parents are working together to make sure their child’s needs are being met. If both parents can’t agree, the court will have to hold a hearing. If it’s in the best interest of the child and there is a substantial, unanticipated change of circumstances, then the modification most likely will be granted.

Should I Hire a Family Lawyer?

While you can handle a divorce on your own, a Florida family lawyer can be a great asset in figuring out the best and easiest way to proceed. Every situation is different, and because of that, a family lawyer will be able to draw upon their experience and knowledge to give you the best advice and representation you need.
