Zamani & Scott LLP

After working for many years in private practice, my partner Sara Scott and I founded Zamani & Scott LLP in 2010 because we are passionate about family formation through adoption and assisted reproductive technology (gestational carrier/surrogacy matters) and helping clients resolve difficult family law matters with dignity and respect.

Zamani & Scott LLP is a family law firm established to help clients start, grow, restructure and plan for their families, and to unwind marriages and long-term committed relationships in a thoughtful, holistic and practical manner. We are committed to helping you accurately understand your options and achieve the best resolution possible in your specific circumstances.
