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. I 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:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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. 
• Small Business Law: I work with small business owners to draft and review business contracts and 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 considering bringing a personal injury lawsuit, you may be working closely with a personal injury attorney for many months.
• When your business's profitability is at stake, you need to be confident that your attorney will put protecting your interests at the top of her agenda.
• 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.
• 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 your most positive result.

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.
