Criminal Defense • Personal Injury • Business Contracts and Disputes • Wills

When your life has taken a wrong turn with a serious injury in a car accident or a criminal charge, you need a lawyer who can get you back on track—a lawyer with your best interest at heart, who really cares about you and your future. You need the kind of strong, determined legal advocacy you will find at the Douglasville law office of Attorney Dawn Scotland.

Contact me for a consultation. Learn more about how I can help you get through your legal difficulty and get back on your feet.

I have been practicing law since 1992, after graduating from the University of Michigan Law School, one of the top law schools in the country. As a former senior assistant district attorney with the Fulton County DA's office, I know how to view a case from both sides of the aisle, and can often anticipate the tactics or strategies used by the prosecution. I also worked for a very successful Boston personal injury defense firm before moving to the Atlanta area to start my own law practice in 1994.

Allow me to assist you with the following legal concerns:

• Criminal Defense: I represent adults and juveniles facing felony or misdemeanor charges for criminal offenses such as drug crimes, theft crimes, property crimes, or assault. 
• Appeals: I handle criminal appeals of conviction and sentencing.
• Personal Injury Lawsuits: I focus on helping people get the financial compensation they need when they have been injured in a car wreck, or from a slip-and-fall on a dangerous property or trip-and-fall in a retail store.
• Debt Collection: I represent business owners in collection actions in order to recover the money that they are owed for services rendered and goods provided.
• Wills: For individuals and families who want to ensure that their loved ones are provided for and that their assets are protected, I prepare legal wills and testaments.
• Business Contracts: I am retained by business owners throughout the greater Atlanta area to draft and review contracts. I am also readily able to resolve business contract disputes.  

Choosing a Georgia Lawyer

Many of my clients have never had to work with an attorney before and are unsure how to choose a lawyer. While years of experience and credentials are clearly important, so is your comfort level with the attorney:

• When you are facing criminal charges, you need a criminal defense lawyer who will fight for your rights, and who has the knowledge and experience to help you get the most favorable outcome. 
• When you are considering bringing a personal injury lawsuit, you may be working closely with a personal injury attorney for many months. 
• Whenever you have legal questions or concerns regarding your business, you need to be confident that your attorney will provide informative and comprehensive counsel. 
• When you are preparing a will, you need to feel comfortable sharing personal information about finances and family relationships, knowing it will be kept strictly confidential.  

Know that when you work with my law office, you will always be treated with respect and courtesy. Choosing a Georgia lawyer is an important decision, and I encourage you to make an appointment to come in and talk with me. I believe that you will feel confident that together, we can tackle whatever lies ahead.

Contact my office to schedule an appointment. My office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with weekend hours by appointment.
