Practicing in Criminal & Traffic Defense

In Practice Since 2002

"I am committed towards meeting the needs of a diverse multi-cultural and socio-economic community and I strive to anticipate and work through the special considerations and consequences specific to our clients."

Attorney Carolina Schottland was the first female associate at the firm to be named partner. She has maintained a successful career in litigation, handling workers’ compensation cases as well as criminal and traffic cases at Botto Gilbert Schottland Lancaster PC. With much respect for her clients, her bi-lingual practice is based on aggressive advocacy on her client’s behalf, whether by negotiation, motion practice, or trials. Attorney Schottland fully understands that the ramifications of a criminal charge or work injury extend beyond the issues in court, and she strives to make her clients informed and gives them the knowledge they need to make the decisions that are best for them.
