  • What types of legal cases does your firm handle?

    If I need legal representation in Maryland, what types of cases can your firm handle? At The Law Offices of Richard K. Scott, LLC, we provide representation in several areas, including criminal defense, traffic defense, DUI-DWI defense, juvenile defense, family law, and personal injury matters. We work with clients facing circumstances that can have significant effects on their families, finances, driving privileges, and future opportunities, and we approach each matter according to its individual facts. Our office is located at 303 W. Pennsylvania Avenue in Towson, Maryland, and we serve clients throughout Maryland. We also offer free consultations and maintain availability for urgent legal matters, including after regular business hours.

  • How can you help if I am facing a DUI charge?

    If I have been arrested or charged with driving under the influence, how can your firm help? When you contact us for representation from a DUI lawyer in Towson, MD, we begin by learning about the circumstances surrounding your stop, arrest, testing, and charges. We can explain the legal process, discuss the allegations against you, and identify the issues that may affect your defense. DUI cases can involve both criminal proceedings and consequences involving driving privileges, so we consider the different aspects of the matter rather than treating the case as a single issue. Our firm handles DUI-DWI defense as part of its broader criminal and traffic defense practice, and we can discuss the specific circumstances of your case during a consultation.

  • What should I do immediately after a DUI arrest?

    If I have just been arrested for DUI, what should I do next? One of the most useful steps is to obtain legal guidance promptly and avoid making assumptions about what will happen next. When you contact a DUI lawyer in Towson, MD, we can discuss the circumstances of your arrest, the charges you received, upcoming court dates, and any immediate concerns involving your driving privileges. We can also explain what information may be relevant to your defense and what you should expect as the case progresses. Our firm offers complimentary consultations around the clock, including evenings and weekends, and our office states that we are available 24 hours a day for urgent legal matters.

  • Can you help with other criminal charges besides DUI?

    If I am facing a criminal charge that is not related to driving, can your firm represent me? Yes, our criminal defense practice covers a range of matters beyond DUI and DWI allegations. A DUI lawyer in Towson, MD can be particularly relevant when a driving-related criminal charge is involved, but our broader criminal defense services include matters such as assault, drug crimes, felonies, gun charges, and probation violations. We evaluate the facts and circumstances of each case individually and explain the available legal options during the representation.

  • Do you handle traffic defense and driver's license matters?

    If I received a traffic violation or have a problem involving my driver's license, can your firm help? Yes, we provide traffic defense in addition to criminal defense and DUI-DWI representation. If you are looking for a DUI lawyer in Towson, MD because your driving privileges may be affected by a DUI-related matter, we can discuss the legal and administrative issues involved in your situation. Our listed traffic services include CDL traffic violations, driver license violations, MVA hearings, and reckless driving matters. We can review the circumstances of your case and explain the applicable process so you have a clearer understanding of what may happen next.

  • What other legal services does your firm offer?

    If my legal problem is not related to a criminal or traffic charge, can your firm still assist me? Our practice also includes family law, juvenile defense, and personal injury representation. A DUI lawyer in Towson, MD is only one part of our broader legal practice, allowing us to serve Maryland clients dealing with a variety of legal circumstances.

  • How do you approach a case when I am unsure about my legal options?

    If I do not understand my options or the possible consequences of my case, will you explain them to me? Yes, communication is an important part of how we work with clients. When you meet with a DUI lawyer in Towson, MD, we can discuss the circumstances of your case and explain the available options, potential outcomes, and relevant legal considerations.
