About:

Cheri Hobbs is a co-owner and managing partner of Compass Law. Cheri grew up in a family where service was not just something that was talked about, but something that was practiced daily in their lives. As a daughter of missionaries, she grew up helping people from all walks of life. From living with Indian tribes in the Amazon forest, to serving the needy in orphanages, to taking in domestic violence victims into their home, Cheri has always seen first-hand the real need that exists in all of humanity. It is this perspective and sincere compassion that propelled her into the legal field. Cheri received her undergraduate degree from the University of Central Florida in Political Science with a minor in Sociology and went on to receive her law degree from Florida State University. As a former prosecutor, she gained invaluable trial experience but simultaneously continued to develop her compassion for those struggling with substance abuse and mental illness. She went on to practice criminal defense and family law where she has been zealously advocating to the specific needs of each and every one of her clients. Cheri has experience in a wide variety of case, ranging from complex family law litigation to defending those charged with life felonies.

"Compass Law and specifically Natalia Scott have been amazing! When my child la mother started using her as leverage to make me do what she wanted I was in a very frightening situation and had no idea how to get out of it. Natalia helped me calm down and realize everything was going to be fine and helped me come up with a parenting plan to submit to court. There’s so much to read and understand and she made it very easy to get. Thanks so much!"

"I really needed an attorney who was going to advocate for me and my daughter. Instead, Cheri guided me through the court process and helped me create a parenting plan with my narcissistic, psychopathic ex. This is obviously a routine thing, but I needed other options to protect my daughter and myself from repeat abuse. We’re currently in an abusive situation after Cheri has settled all matters and filed for completion of services; along with, ignoring my email requesting legal guidance."

"Natalia was the very best attorney I could have chosen. She came highly recommended by a mutual colleague; I am so grateful to have had her on my team. In the end, I am very satisfied with the results Natalia accomplished on my behalf. She is extremely knowledgeable in family law, and her experience was invaluable in my case. I found her to be understanding of my needs and goals. When I wasn’t certain about so many decisions, she guided me with patience, wisdom and compassion. Adding to her pleasant demeanor, is a strong, and assertive advocate at the exact right times, whenever needed. She pulls no punches when dealing with the opposing counsel and I never felt like I was being pushed around by the opposing party. What I love and appreciate most about Natalia, is her strong faith and core values, which emanates from her being. She practices with integrity, honesty, and confidence. You will not be disappointed when you hire Natalia Scott to represent you. She’s a great person and I wish her many years of success and happiness. Thank you Natalia, you’re the Best!"

"Attorney Scott has years of experience and is very knowledgeable in Florida Family Law. She will explain every step with great detail and will make sure you understand the process. A divorce proceeding, a modification of timesharing, or any other family legal proceeding puts you in great stress and makes you feel lost at the beginning, but attorney Scott lifts that weight off your shoulders and guides you in the best direction possible so you can get your life back on tack."
