Placer County Family Law Attorney

Local knowledge, statewide standards

Scharf Law, P.C. represents clients across Placer County from our Folsom office. Whether you live in Roseville, Rocklin, Auburn, or the Tahoe side of the county, we provide steady counsel through the local court calendars, judges, and procedures that shape every case.

Placer County stretches from the Sacramento Valley to the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe. Family law matters are handled in Roseville and juvenile dependency matters in Auburn.

Where cases are heard: Most family law matters are heard at the Howard G. Gibson Courthouse at the Bill Santucci Justice Center in Roseville. Probate matters are heard at the Historic Courthouse in Auburn, and juvenile dependency matters at the Juvenile Courthouse on B Avenue in Auburn.

Local procedures: Family Court Services (custody mediation) and the court’s Self-Help Center are located at the Gibson Courthouse in Roseville. Placer requires electronic filing for parties represented by an attorney; people representing themselves may still file on paper. The court also has a Tahoe City courthouse for North Lake Tahoe residents.
