At The Law Offices of J. Scott Smith, PLLC, I make sure that I am personally involved in every case. You will not be pawned off on an associate to never see me again. I will be there with you every step of the way to answer your questions, talk you through the possible outcomes of your case and guide you through the process.
I handle DWI, criminal and family law cases throughout the Triad area. I understand that your case may have a huge effect on the lives of you and your family. A DWI can mean the loss of a license or a job. A criminal charge can mean the loss of your freedom. A family law case can mean dramatic changes to your home life.
Remember, issues surrounding divorce and family law issues always rest on facts, not emotions. And in criminal law, arrested does not mean guilty. If you have been charged with a crime or have a family law matter that needs attention, I will aggressively protect your rights and fight to get you what you need.
