About Scott

Scott Thornton serves as the Principal Lawyer at Results Family Law, where his blend of business insight and legal expertise sets him apart. His prior career as a physiotherapist and business owner over two decades has enriched his approach to family law, providing him with a profound understanding of people and their challenges. Scott's transition to law began in 2014, and since then, he has honed his focus on family law, earning a Master of Laws (Family Law). His clients appreciate his empathetic approach combined with strategic thinking, particularly in complex matters involving financial separation, children and parenting, court applications, and domestic violence. Scott's dedication extends beyond his legal practice into substantial community involvement, notably in rugby league. He was part of the staff for the Queensland Maroons from 2006 to 2015 and has held various leadership roles within rugby league organisations. This connection to sport reflects his passion for teamwork and determination, qualities he brings to his legal practice. A graduate of Queensland University of Technology with a Bachelor of Laws, Scott later pursued a Master of Applied Law (Family Law) at The College of Law Australia. He also manages Results Physiotherapy, a leading rehabilitation centre in Queensland. His background in physiotherapy, combined with his legal acumen, ensures holistic and practical advice for his clients, guiding them towards fair and forward-looking solutions.
