Sacramento County Family Law Attorney

Local knowledge, statewide standards

Scharf Law, P.C. represents clients across Sacramento County from our Folsom office. Whether you live in the city of Sacramento, Elk Grove, or here in Folsom, we provide steady counsel through the local court calendars, judges, and procedures that shape every case.

Sacramento County is California’s eighth-largest county and home to the state capital. Its courts handle a high volume of family law and dependency matters across multiple courthouses.

Where cases are heard: Family law and probate matters are heard at the William R. Ridgeway Family Relations Courthouse on Power Inn Road. Juvenile dependency cases are heard at the Juvenile Courthouse at 9605 Kiefer Boulevard.

Local procedures: Custody mediation and child custody recommending counseling are handled by the court’s Family Court Services, Room 104 at the Ridgeway courthouse, which also houses the Self-Help Center and Family Law Facilitator. A free court shuttle runs on weekdays between the Power Inn light-rail station and the courthouse. Family law papers are filed by mail, through a fax-filing agency, or in person; probate filings can also be made electronically.
