Whether charged with a crime or suffering a work-related or motor-vehicle accident injury, the firm’s clients share much in common. They are worried about achieving the best results for themselves and their families. Many of the firm’s clients have never dealt with the legal process prior to meeting with the firm’s lawyers. The firm works hard to educate clients about the process and what they can expect. Well-informed clients are best able to regain control of their legal situation and their lives. In addition, the firm’s attorneys and staff believe that when more clients understand their legal situation, they will be better able to make informed decisions in their best interests.
In 2000, the firm hired, from the Guilford County District Attorney’s Office, one of that staff’s most experienced Assistant District Attorneys, Mr. Jan Elliott Pritchett. During Mr. Pritchett’s four years in the District Attorney’s Office, he, like Mr. Schlosser, successfully prosecuted a large and varied number of traffic and criminal cases.
