Divorce & Family Law and Adoption & Assisted Reproduction

About Dimitra S. Scott

Dimitra is the chair of both the Divorce & Family Law and Adoption & Assisted Reproduction practice groups at Beresford Booth PLLC where she brings compassion and a balanced perspective to clients. She is also a fellow for the Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA), a leading organization that sets the highest standards for its members.

Dimitra guides families through the adoption process, advising prospective adoptive families through their match process, decisions regarding the best choice of law for their situation, and through the legal process to complete their family. Dimitra also guides birth parents in placement with a loving family to meet their individual needs. Whether finalizing a DCYF foster-to-adopt placement, advising clients regarding a second-parent adoption, or guiding individuals to confirm their family through an adult adoption, Dimitra works with each client to understand and meet their unique needs.

For clients seeking to form a family through Assisted Reproduction, Dimitra advises intended parents through the legal process of their journey, including preparation of Agreements for Gestational Surrogacy, Genetic Surrogacy, Ova Donation, Embryo Donation, and Sperm Donation. Dimitra also helps parties who wish to donate gametes or carry a child as a surrogate in review of Donor Contracts and Surrogacy Agreements. She also advises clients on the best way to confirm parentage to create and secure each client’s unique family. Dimitra recognizes that no two clients are the same, no two families are the same, and she strives to understand and support each individual’s goals to guide them through the process.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Dimitra graduated from Henry M. Jackson High School in Mill Creek where she enjoyed playing soccer and fastpitch softball. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Menlo College in California while continuing to play fastpitch. Dimitra joined Beresford Booth in 2004, after graduating Cum Laude from Seattle University School of Law, and became a partner in 2016. Outside of the office, Dimitra resides with her family in Snohomish. In her free time, you will find Dimitra cheering at her children’s sporting events, enjoying the outdoors with family and friends, and volunteering to support individuals with special needs.

Dimitra Scott was a consummate professional throughout my wife's and my out-of-state adoption journey. She was responsive to our questions, provided clear explanations in our various Zoom meetings and phone calls, and maintained constant text and phone call communication on the big day of the adoption itself. She and her office went out of their way to make us feel confident before, during, and after the adoption process. We can't recommend her legal services for adoption highly enough.

Dimitra Scott at Beresford Booth Law Office is truly exceptional. She made my adoption process so much less stressful, which is no small feat given how complex and emotional it can be. Dimitra is incredibly kind, compassionate, and hardworking. Thanks to her efficiency and attention to detail, even though my adoption happened so quickly. She made sure every aspect was taken care of, allowing me to focus on the most important part: meeting and getting to know my newborn son. From the first consultation to the finalization of the adoption, Dimitra consistently demonstrated deep expertise and genuine care for my case. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to guide me through such an important life event. If you’re looking for someone who is not only a skilled lawyer but also a caring advocate, I highly recommend Dimitra Scott.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
