Whitney M. Scroggins is a compassionate, creative, and determined attorney, with a deep familiarity of the world of family law. As a child of two-family law attorneys, Whitney’s immersion into the world of law began early. From a young age, Whitney developed a passion for helping others, especially through their lowest moments.

As a double alumna of The University of Texas at Austin, Whitney completed her B.A. in Psychology in only three years, graduating summa cum laude and with highest honors from the Liberal Arts Honors Program. Her stellar academic performance also warranted an induction into the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. Throughout college, Whitney spent her spare time mentoring younger psychology students and enjoying the food culture in Austin with her friends.

In continuing on to the University of Texas School of Law, Whitney focused on developing key skills required of litigators and deepening her knowledge of family law in Texas. During her time in law school, Whitney co-founded the Texas Family Law Society, the school’s first student-run association focusing on the intricacies of family matters in the Texas legal system. Whitney also participated in multiple courses geared toward teaching trial advocacy in Texas. Whitney was
an active member in the Women’s Law Caucus, Texas Law Art Association, and the American Constitutional Society.

Whitney’s background in psychology allows her to develop a full understanding of her clients’ wants and needs, which in turn promotes fierce advocacy both inside and outside the courtroom. Whitney is a resilient, loyal, and approachable competitor who always looks forward to another challenge. She exemplifies the professional experience of a tenured attorney, but as a product of a newer generation.

Whitney is an active member of the Alternative Dispute Resolution, Collaborative Law, Family Law, and Women and the Law sections of the State Bar of Texas. She is also an active participant in the Collin County, Denton County, and Dallas County Bar Associations. In her free time, Whitney volunteers for the Operation Kindness animal shelter in North Texas. She also loves to explore new places with her travel buddy and husband, Vince.
