How Do You Define Experience?
Is experience simply the number of years that a lawyer has practiced law? Is it sufficient to say that our law firm has served the Charlotte community and the surrounding parts of North Carolina for more than 20 years?
Obviously, a certain amount of success is necessary for any law firm to achieve that level of longevity. However, we know that your future is on the line if you are facing a criminal offense. You have the right to look deeper.
At Rawls, Dickinson & Scheer, we define experience a bit differently. Instead of just looking at how long an attorney has been in practice, we believe that you should ask how well an attorney has performed during those years. We believe that even a quick look at our record of achievements will provide you with an answer to that question.
Included Among the Best Lawyers in North Carolina
Business North Carolina Magazine recently published a list of the best attorneys in the state. Our firm was represented on the list, an achievement that we take great pride in.
We are Proud of Our Achievements
Over the course of the years, our attorneys have developed a long list of honors, including:
- Board Certified in Federal and State Criminal Law
- Listed in Best Lawyers of America
- Listed as Super Lawyers*
- Listed in the Registry of Preeminent Lawyers
- AV®-rated** under Martindale-Hubbell’s peer review rating system
Our achievements have been built on our willingness to work hard to get results in every case. Among our team of criminal defense attorneys, we have the expertise to defend against all criminal offenses, felonies and misdemeanors, state and federal.
The Importance of Enlisting a Board Certified Attorney
Board Certified is more than just a title. The State Bar Board of Legal Specialization grants this title to a select few who meet very strict criteria. It is evidence that a lawyer has the experience to represent you with a depth of knowledge according to the highest standards of the profession.
Former Criminal Prosecutors
As criminal defense attorneys, we face prosecutors daily. To succeed, we need to understand how our opposition operates. We need to know their goals and anticipate the tactics they may use against our clients. Because two of our lead lawyers are former prosecutors, we have this knowledge. We know what it takes to overcome the opposition and get you results.
