- Criminal DefenseOur criminal defense practice covers many aspects. Most people come to us once they have been charged with a crime, but we also represent those who are under investigation and those who may have already been convicted of a crime.
- DUI/DWIThe fine is not that large. Certainly the fine is cheaper than hiring a lawyer, so you might be tempted to pay the fine and take your lumps. That's the worst possible thing you can do. The real penalty to getting a DUI in South Carolina is not the fine for the DUI, but everything that goes along with it.
- Wrongful Death
- Traffic ViolationsIt's easy enough to be charged with a DUI in South Carolina. We have recently gone from one of the five most lenient states in the country on DUI laws to one of the five strictest states on DUI laws. And the State has hired extra patrolmen just to stop people on any and all traffic violations they can find. Once you've been stopped or a minor traffic violation and you are asked 'Have you been drinking?', even if it's two drinks with dinner, odds are that you'll get charged with a DUI.
- Sex CrimesA reputation built over the course of a lifetime can be shattered in an instant. Many sex offenses are built on exaggeration, misunderstandings, questionable motives or false accusations. Sex offenses often have no witnesses or evidence and boil down to a matter of he said / she said.
