The founder of our Douglasville law firm, Attorney Dawn Scotland, dedicated her legal career to the pursuit of justice long before she founded the firm. She observed many instances where people were mistreated by the justice system because they lacked the protection of an experienced, motivated legal advocate. In some cases, even though the case was dismissed or the accused person acquitted, the emotional and financial consequences were devastating on the life and family of the accused.
Attorney Dawn Scotland, the founder of the Douglasville law firm Dawn Scotland, Attorneys at Law, established our law office as a trusted place where people come to receive comprehensive legal representation. It starts with an initial legal consultation where you have an opportunity to learn about the law as it relates to the unique factors in your case, to have your questions answered by an experienced and licensed attorney, and to find out if our training, experience, and pricing policies match your individual needs. When you decide to retain our firm to represent you, in most cases we can apply the fee you've paid for the consultation to your future attorney fees, making your consultation absolutely free.
The experience Attorney Scotland gained as a Senior Assistant District Attorney in the Fulton County District Attorney's Office gives her unique insight as a Carrollton criminal law defense attorney.
In addition to our legal expertise, we offer our clients conveniences such as:
- Free parking,
- Flexible office hours,
- Credit card payments,
- Notary Public services,
- Off-site consultations,
- Weekend and after-hours consultations by appointment, and
- Telephone consultation appointments for out-of-town clients.
Attorney Scotland carefully evaluates every case and creates custom legal solutions that meet the client's needs. In some situations, she may refer clients to resources that can be helpful in coping with their legal issues. For example, a treatment facility may be appropriate for clients who are facing criminal charges for serious DUI or drug offenses. In some cases involving a domestic violence defense, we recommend participation in an anger management program or similar counseling, because this can demonstrate to the judge that our clients are proactive in taking steps to correct the behavior that led to the incident underlying the criminal charges.
Please contact us to arrange an affordable or free, no-obligation initial evaluation of your legal matter. Attorney Dawn Scotland will discuss your circumstances, goals, and objectives, and will explain your legal rights and your options. While you are under no obligation to retain the services of our firm, we are happy to assist you with the information and advice you need to be sure you secure the best legal representation for your case.
