Yakima Criminal Defense Law Office
A criminal charge in Yakima can put your job, your family and your freedom at risk before a jury hears a word. Scott Law Firm has defended people across Central Washington for more than 25 years, and attorney Gregory L. Scott has taken more than 100 cases to a jury. That courtroom experience guides how our lawyers get ready for every case, from the first police contact to the final verdict.
Criminal Defense Cases Our Yakima Lawyers Handle
Criminal charges in Washington run from minor crimes to serious felonies that can mean decades in prison. Even when the evidence looks bad, a defense starts with how police collected it and whether they followed the law. Attorney Scott gets every case ready as if it will go to trial, which often changes how prosecutors handle plea talks. Our work covers:
- Drunk driving: A Yakima driving under the influence (DUI) arrest starts a separate license case with the Department of Licensing on top of the criminal charge. Our lawyers fight DUI stops and breath tests from the roadside on.
- Violent offenses: Assault, murder and homicide charges carry the toughest sentences in Washington. Attorney Scott’s defense of violent crime charges relies on his own fact-finding and hard questioning of witnesses.
- Sex offenses: A claim alone can cost you your good name, and a guilty verdict can mean years on a public registry. Our lawyers defend against sex crime claims with the care and privacy these cases need.
- White collar crimes: Fraud, embezzlement and theft charges often rely on months of financial records. We respond to white collar investigations early, often before prosecutors file charges.
Our full range of criminal defense services covers other crimes that prosecutors bring in Yakima County courts.
