When Life Takes a Turn to "Legal"

• Facing criminal charges?
• Protect you rights and your freedom.
• Don’t HOPE for success…PLAN for success.

Here's How:  3 things you need to do now.

1. Know your RIGHTS.
   • You have constitutional rights under the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th.
   • You have the right to remain silent, and you can exercise that right when being questioned by law enforcement. Even if you are under arrest, you can stay silent and request an attorney.
   • The 6th Amendment gives you the right to an attorney.

 

2. Choose an attorney with a proven track record of success, high ethical standards and exceptional legal abilities. The Law Offices of Paul Scott possess these qualities.

• Listed as “Top Lawyer” by Columbus CEO
• Named “Ohio Superlawyer; Rising Star” and “AV Preeminent” rating by Martindale Hubbard.
• Licensed in Federal Courts, all 88 County Counties, and all Common Pleas, Municipal and Mayor’s Courts throughout the Great State of Ohio.

 

3. Be as honest with your attorney as you expect your attorney to be with you.

• Every case is unique. Our office will weigh all factors and develop a strategy for the best type of defense most likely to succeed.
• Complete disclosure of every relevant fact is most important. ASAP create a timeline of events leading up to, including and after the incident.
• No matter what the offense, remember, the accused is not legally guilty until a prosecutor offers enough evidence to persuade a judge or jury to convict.

 

Do I really need an Attorney?

If you find yourself facing criminal charges that may result in great loss to you or your family you will need to know what your odds are of a positive or less painful outcome.

There are many ways a competent attorney can work to ensure the best outcome possible in your circumstances. There is no crystal ball to tell how one person’s case may turn out because each case is unique.  In many cases, though, charges may be lessened or a plea deal can be made. Some cases may have charges dropped or …you could end in a mistrial.
