Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice leverages insider knowledge from former prosecutorial experience to build strategic defenses against felony and misdemeanor charges. We handle cases ranging from violent crimes to drug offenses, focusing on minimizing consequences through dismissal, reduced charges, or trial victories. Our approach combines deep understanding of prosecutorial tactics with personalized representation to protect clients' futures.
DUI Defense
Specialized DUI defense services challenge evidence through technical analysis of breathalyzer calibration, traffic stop legality, and field sobriety test administration. We represent clients facing first-time or repeat offenses, working to prevent license suspensions, fines, and criminal records while navigating South Carolina's strict DUI laws. Our former prosecutor perspective identifies weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
Personal Injury
We represent injury victims in pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our practice handles car accidents, wrongful death, and slip-and-fall cases on a contingency basis, investigating negligence and negotiating with insurance companies. We focus on maximizing recovery through settlements or trial litigation when necessary.
Drug Crimes
Our drug crime defense challenges possession, trafficking, and distribution charges by examining search and seizure legality, chain of custody issues, and forensic evidence. We work to prevent permanent criminal records through charge dismissal, reduction, or alternative sentencing options while protecting clients' employment and housing opportunities.
Sex Offenses
We defend against serious sex crime allegations including registration requirements, focusing on constitutional violations and evidence challenges. Our approach balances aggressive litigation with sensitivity to clients' reputational concerns, aiming to prevent life-altering consequences through dismissal, reduced charges, or trial acquittals.
