FROM COAST GUARD TO COURTROOM HOW DAVID SCOTT BUILT A FAMILY LAW PRACTICE IN SOUTH FLORIDA
What does it truly take to build a business from nothing – with no blueprint, no safety net, and no one in your family who has done it before? In this episode of Kind of a Big Deal, host Alejandro Larrazabal sits down with David Scott, a family law attorney based in South Florida whose journey is anything but ordinary.
David grew up in San Diego, raised by a single mother alongside his siblings, moving from home to home and navigating the kind of instability that could have easily defined his ceiling. Instead, it became his fuel. He became the first in his family to attend college, earning his degree from UC Berkeley before going on to the University of Miami School of Law – but not before spending time serving his country with the United States Coast Guard, patrolling the North Atlantic in search and rescue operations.
Today, David runs his own family law practice, where he brings not just legal expertise but deep human empathy to every client he serves. In this conversation, he opens up about what it means to run a business while staying grounded in faith, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, and why failure is never the end of the story.
His message to entrepreneurs is simple and powerful: no matter where you are in your journey, no matter how stuck or lost you may feel – the king always has one more move.
This is a story about resilience, purpose, and what it really means to build something that matters – right here in South Florida.
