Know the Territory With the Help of a Former Prosecutor In 2000, attorney Dawn Scotland was recruited by the Fulton County District Attorney’s office to serve as a senior assistant district attorney. As a prosecutor, she gained valuable insight into what the government thinks are important factors in making charging decisions, negotiating plea bargains, seeking enhanced sentencing, and other areas—and what they have, and do not have, the power to do to resolve a case. A lot of lawyers will tell you want you want to hear. Then, when you get to court and things don’t go your way, they shrug their shoulders. That is not the most effective way to defend people — and that is not how we do business. We will give you a clear assessment of your case right away, and continue to communicate with you throughout the case so you can take an active role in your defense. We will tell you the truth from start to finish. We will let you know the strengths and weaknesses of your case, options available, and possible outcomes. You can rely on what we say. You can also rely on us to do whatever it takes to defend you in court and give you the best chance we possibly can for a positive outcome, given the circumstances of your case. We take pride in our work, and we care about how this will affect your life and your future. Contact us to schedule a consultation. We can make jail visits and attend bond and arraignment hearings.
