At Scott Helton Law, I protect the rights of everyday people facing criminal charges. As a Dalton criminal defense attorney, I use my extensive background in Georgia law to guide clients through every step of the legal process with complete confidence. Know more about me below:
- Scott Helton: I earned my law license in 1995 and spent 30 years working as a prosecutor. I founded my new practice to ensure that people accused of crimes understand what comes next in their cases, using my deep knowledge of how the other side operates to build effective defense strategies for every client.
Criminal Defense For A Wide Range Of Cases
Clients facing legal trouble can rely on my law firm to handle charges across the entire spectrum of criminal law. I defend clients from minor infractions to major accusations, such as:
- Serious offenses: These severe allegations carry life-altering penalties and require an attorney who knows how the government builds complex cases.
- Driving under the influence (DUI): These charges occur when law enforcement accuses someone of DUI, which can result in lost driving privileges and heavy fines.
- Drug crimes: These cases range from possessing illegal substances to selling them, requiring a lawyer to carefully examine how the police gathered evidence.
- Traffic violations: These infractions range from basic speeding tickets to reckless driving accusations.
Whether you face a simple traffic ticket or a high-stakes felony accusation, I will do my best to help. I’ll make sure you understand your legal options so you can make confident decisions about your case.
