El Dorado County Family Law Attorney

Local knowledge, statewide standards

Scharf Law, P.C. represents clients across El Dorado County from our Folsom office. Whether you live in El Dorado Hills, Placerville, or South Lake Tahoe, we provide steady counsel through the local court calendars, judges, and procedures that shape every case.

El Dorado County extends from the foothills east of Folsom to the South Lake Tahoe basin. Court matters are handled across two regional divisions — the West Slope (Placerville and Cameron Park) and the South Lake Tahoe division.

Where cases are heard: Family law, juvenile dependency, and guardianship matters are heard at the Building C courthouse on Fairlane Court in Placerville, and probate and conservatorship matters at the Cameron Park branch. The South Lake Tahoe branch hears family law, juvenile, and probate matters for Tahoe Basin residents.

Local procedures: Family law cases on the West Slope are heard in Departments 4, 5, and 12. The Family Law Facilitator is at the Building C courthouse in Placerville, with a separate facilitator for the Tahoe branch. Electronic filing is mandatory for represented parties in family law and probate cases.
