# Hopper Hopper & Strebe Welcomes Quoc T. Pham to the Team [Hopper Hopper & Strebe LLP](https://westcoastdivorce.com/) has welcomed attorney [Quoc T. Pham](https://westcoastdivorce.com/about-us/quoc-pham) to its Northern California practice. Quoc holds a master’s degree in computer science from UCLA and a law degree from Lincoln Law School. Somewhere in a contested divorce, there is usually a transfer nobody mentioned. Finding it means combing through statements, payment histories, and business records line by line. That is where Quoc’s computer science and mathematics background matters most, in discovery and financial tracing for families working through a divorce, a parenting plan, or a support order. ## A Technical Mind in the Family Law Courtroom Modern divorce cases rarely hinge on a single document. Bank exports, payment apps, brokerage statements, business ledgers, and text messages often show how a family’s money moved and how each parent stays involved. Quoc’s degrees in mathematics and computer science fit that reality. Both disciplines center on working with large sets of data, which is useful when a contested divorce or a property division dispute depends on the numbers. For clients, this means added attention to the records behind property division, support, and business-related disputes. ## How Quoc Supports Clients at the Firm Quoc’s work follows a case from the first conversation to the courtroom. Each area below is a core part of that role. ### Client Intake and Strategy Quoc’s involvement starts at intake, where a client’s goals and the basic facts shape the strategy for the case. From there, the plan covers which records to gather and which issues to raise first. Early groundwork can save time and cost later, and it helps families feel prepared instead of overwhelmed. ### Factual Investigation and Discovery Discovery is where many family law cases are won or lost. California’s [Family Code section 2100](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=FAM§ionNum=2100) sets a policy of full and accurate financial disclosure between spouses, and [section 2107](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=FAM§ionNum=2107) lets courts impose sanctions when a party fails to comply. Quoc’s focus on discovery and financial tracing puts that framework to work. The aim is to follow income and transfers between accounts and to check whether a spouse’s disclosures match the paper trail. ### Court Hearings and Motion Practice Many key decisions happen long before trial, through motions and hearings. Quoc handles court hearings and motion practice for the firm’s clients. In custody matters, [Family Code section 3011](https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=FAM§ionNum=3011) lists the factors judges weigh in custody decisions, so organized exhibits and well-supported filings matter. ## Quoc’s Education Quoc’s education pairs advanced technical study with a law degree, which fits the data-heavy nature of modern family law. - Law degree: JD, Lincoln Law School - Graduate degree: MS in Computer Science, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - Undergraduate degree: BS in Joint Mathematics and Computer Science ## What Quoc’s Arrival Means for Families Family courts stay busy. [Judicial Council of California data](https://courts.ca.gov/system/files/file/csr_2026.pdf) counts 203,433 paternity, child support, and related filings outside marital cases across the state in 2024-25. Behind each number is a parent trying to secure a schedule, a support order, or answers about money. With Quoc on board, the firm can give more attention to the investigative side of these cases, from a first consultation with a [Sacramento divorce attorney](https://westcoastdivorce.com/sacramento-divorce-attorney) through hearings and motions. Clients of the firm now have an additional attorney looking closely at the details of their case. ## About Hopper Hopper & Strebe LLP The firm’s practice is devoted to family law across Northern California.
