Biography

Matt founded Law Office of Matthew D. Scott in 2011. He and his team focus entirely on helping families and business owners to plan their futures. Working in close collaboration with a trusted network of financial advisers, accountants, bankers and real estate professionals, Matt delivers high-quality legal services in a no-nonsense fashion. He has prepared well over 1,500 estate plans, from simple to complex, for clients located throughout California.

A vigorous advocate of alternative dispute resolution, Matt has received specialized training in negotiations and settlements and completed over 40 hours of formal mediation instruction. He prefers to assist parties in resolving their differences outside the courtroom. In fact, he has never referred a case to trial attorneys for resolution, always resolving the case in-house through mediation and other alternatives to court trials.

Prior to law school, Matt received a Bachelor of Music degree with emphasis in Vocal Performance at Brigham Young University. He has sung in multiple countries and in a dozen languages, including an appearance at Carnegie Hall. He has released two solo albums under his own label.

Mr. Scott has held FINRA Series 7 and 66 licenses, as well as life, accident, and health with annuities and long-term care licenses in various states, bringing a deeper knowledge of the financial implications of legal decisions and important planning considerations. He has recently concentrated his practice in three key areas of the law, and continues to work very closely with trusted experts in the financial industry, to better advise his clients.
