About
At SCLS our goal is to LISTEN to our clients. Whether you need AGGRESSIVE representation for your family law or criminal defense matter...we are here to HELP YOU. You can find additional reviews & immediate direct contact info at Southern California Legal Services Yelp page.
We can promise that you will be dealing with the attorney, Nicole Gutteriez French, personally, not a secretary or paralegal. You will receive individualized attention with prompt return calls and emails.
We are budget friendly for those unable to retain an attorney to represent your entire case. Thousands of dollars in legal fees can be saved by offering my services on a limited-scope basis. This is where we would charge a reasonably flat-fee for a single service such as one court appearance, helping to prepare a document, or a one-time consultation.
We offer free 30 minute phone consultations or $150 in-person consultations.

Nicole is extraordinary Divorce & Family Law lawyer. She genuinely cared for the well-being of myself and my two young boys. I went into my divorce feeling lost and scared. Immediately, Nicole eased my anxieties and fears. She not only became my voice but she understood my overall goals and embraced my morals and values. She was always available when I needed her, whether in person, phone or email which made the process even smoother for me. She approached every obstacle with such ease that my anxieties always seemed to dissipate every time another speed bump approached. When I felt I was being bullied by the opposing party, Nicole was my calm, reasonable and professional voice that I could not be. She always had my children as the #1 priority and was ultimately, able to bring my case to a happy ending. I know it may be awkward to say "happy ending" but when both parties come to an agreement that benefit the children, I would say it was a very, happy ending.
Nicole was not only able to help me close my case with my children ultimately benefitting, but she also helped me to receive half of the proceeds from our house. I did not expect to receive any money once our house was sold because my name was removed from the deed once we refinanced. However, she was able to get the opposing party to agree to put my name back on the deed and disburse 50% of the proceeds to me.
Nicole is amazing and I highly recommend her to anybody searching for a lawyer that will fight for what you believe in and what you deserve.

Nicole helped me out a lot on my Custody Case. She was able to get the Judges attention to hear me out on the danger and risks that my child was going through within the fathers home, and for the best interest of my child. Nicole is honest, comprehensive, knowledgable,and aggressive in helping her clients. I'am really Thankful for what she did for me in a really tough situation!!

Top notch legal services. Highly professional and efficient!
I had a complex domestic violence case and Nicole handled it with a level of care and professionalism I never expected since most other attorneys were not very helpful. I had a tough, uphill battle especially because I’m a man and it was a he said she said type of situation.
I am very thankful to have found Nicole who not only took the time to hear me out on the case, she put a plan in motion to help me in the most desperate of situations. She is an extremely intelligent and caring attorney. Don’t think twice about giving her a call and presenting your case!

I was leaving the bar in Hermosa Beach and as soon as I pulled put the parking lot I was immediately pulled over and the police office claimed I was driving reackless and wanted me to come out of my vehicle. My cousin and I asked him how could I have been driving reckless if I just pulled out the parking lot. He didn't answer and just asked me to get out the car and take a sobriety test and the breathalyzer and was put in jail over night and my company car was impounded. Because my company car was impounded I lost my corporate job and I was charged with a dui. Literally a collateral damage began as I wasn't able to even keep my apartment in Redondo Beach so I lost everything. After losing everything I've worked so hard for I reached out to Nicole, the attorney at the Gutteriez Law Office in Torrance ca, and she was absolutely amazing. She wasn't just knowledgeable about the law, but was extremely empathetic towards NY entire situation. She maid me feel really comfortable about speaking about everything that transpired without feeling embarrassed or ashamed. Nicole was able to get me a miracle deal at the arraignment phase without having even received the discovery packet until that morning from the prosecution and got it reduced to exhibition of speed, probation, and a 12 hour class. No DUI on record, doesn't count as a prior no insurance hike, no jail, no thousands in fees, no four month AA class instead just three. Even the public defender was shocked by Nicole's outstanding performance at the arraignment. I just want anyone with any type of criminal issues to know that if you go through the Gutteriez Law office you have a worrier in the law that's on your side out of Nicole. Thanks to Nicole I've started to feel as if I'm starting to get my life back. Nicole is definitely an attorney that cares about the clients she represents.
