All defendants face the threat of crippling fines and a long imprisonment sentence, and therefore, it is vital to get legal assistance as soon as possible. At Scott Law Firm, we can help you in all of the following types of cases:

Domestic Violence

Violence within the home or between two people in an intimate relationship is a very serious crime, but it is often difficult to defend because there are rarely witnesses to the event. Abuse can be of a physical, sexual, emotional, or even financial nature.

Drug Crimes

Drug crimes include drug possession, trafficking, distribution, and manufacturing. Each crime has its own penalties and circumstances but they all involve illegal controlled substances such as marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, and heroin.

DUI

Those who choose to drink and drive are committing a serious crime that is called driving under the influence (DUI). Doing so can cause serious injuries to others on the road, and therefore, this crime is heavily penalized.

Expungement

Expungement is the process of sealing prior criminal convictions. When this takes place, the records are unavailable through state or federal repositories. This option is not available to everyone, but is a profitable civil action that can take place with the help of a criminal defense attorney.

Juvenile Crimes

Those who are considered minors and commit a serious crime are called juvenile offenders. Juvenile crimes are typically punished with probation, community service, fines, and counseling rather than jail or prison. There are juvenile detention centers, or juvenile halls, where the court may decide to place the offender.

Parole & Probation Violation

Probation violations take place when an individual does not comply with probation terms. If the terms of probation are not specifically and accurately followed, the individual can have his or her probation revoked and will then be required to serve the original sentence in jail or prison.

Sex Crimes

Sex Crimes

Those who are charged with a sex crime can face harsh repercussions, and without the help of a criminal defense attorney, they can find themselves in dire circumstances. Sex crimes include rape, lewd conduct, child pornography, and prostitution.

White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes are a variety of offenses that occur in a business or corporate environment. They can include identity theft, fraud, bribery, counterfeiting, money laundering, and many others. A criminal defense lawyer can work to protect your rights in these situations.

Concord Automobile Accident Injury

Accident Injury

Car accidents in Concord, North Carolina can be frightening and leave you feeling anxious. However, the actions taken immediately following automobile accidents in Concord can greatly affect a personal injury claim. Scott Law Firm, PLLC strongly suggests you take the following steps after an accident:

    • Pull over and stop. If possible, move your vehicle to the shoulder so it does not block traffic. Do not keep going.  failing to stop for an auto accident could result in criminal charges.
    • Call the police. Contact the police so the accident can be reported. Traffic can be directed by the police if necessary and emergency medical treatment EMT personnel access the accident scene.
    • Check for injuries. If any party appears to be injured, do not move them. You could worsen injuries or cause additional injuries. Contact 911 and request an ambulance.
    • Exchange information with other drivers/witnesses. Get full names, addresses, all phone numbers, and insurance information.
    • Take notes/pictures. Write down everything you can remember about the accident, anything the other drivers or witnesses say, and a description of the accident scene. If possible, take photos of the scene and vehicles. (Use your mobile phone camera if none other is available.) Get the number of the accident report from the police officer on the scene so you can get a copy of it later. The information can help your auto accident lawyers prepare an effective claim.

Accident Injury

  • Get medical attention. Even if you feel okay, some injuries do not manifest until hours or even days later. Tell your doctor, you were in an auto accident and ask for a copy of the medical report after the exam.
  • Contact an attorney before contacting the insurance companies. Concord car accident attorneys can advise you on how to proceed with the insurance companies.
  • Contact the insurance companies. On the advice of your car accident attorneys, report the accident to your insurance company and the at fault driver’s insurance company.
  • Keep an accident file. Keep your notes, medical reports, rental car receipts, and other accident related records of expenses. You may need to recall details of the case if your case goes to court. Keeping a file can help you substantiate your case and provide needed details to your  automobile accident lawyers.

About Law Child Support

Law Child Support

If you have been through the divorce process, then you may have been assigned child support payments. These payments are designed to compensate for various costs of provision such as food, clothing, shelter, education, and health care. If you are not the custodial parent, then these support payments will supplement your ex-spouse’s income in order to ensure that your child’s needs are met. When determining child support and child custody, the courts will make its decisions based on the needs and best interest of the child.

While the ability to provide for the child is one of the serious factors considered by the court, there are some cases in which the custodial parent is unable to financially provide for their child on their own and requires financial assistance. If you are assigned child support payments, then you may experience various financial hardships that make these payments extremely difficult to provide. There are many types of financial hardship, such as losing a job, lowering income, and incurring other financial expenses.
