The Calhoun Law Firm vigorously protects workers' rights in South Carolina, ensuring access to medical treatment and financial compensation for job-related injuries. We handle cases involving neck/back injuries, brain trauma, chemical exposure, and permanent impairments. With over 30 years of experience, we secure benefits for lost wages, medical bills, and disability without upfront costs to clients.
Personal Injury
We represent clients in automobile, truck, and motorcycle accidents, as well as slip-and-fall incidents and defective product cases. Our firm challenges insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, pain, and lost income. Proven success includes multi-million-dollar settlements for brain injuries and wrongful death cases.
Criminal Defense
Former prosecutor Mark Calhoun defends clients in state and federal courts across South Carolina, handling DUIs, drug trafficking, and violent crimes. Leveraging insider knowledge of prosecution tactics, we challenge unlawful arrests and negotiate dismissals or reduced charges, with a focus on protecting clients' constitutional rights.
Wrongful Death
We advocate for families who have lost loved ones due to medical malpractice, accidents, or negligence. Our firm secures compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional distress, including a $1 million settlement for a family whose elderly father died from medical errors.

Our team investigates truck collision causes, from driver fatigue to mechanical failures, to hold negligent parties accountable. We pursue compensation for severe injuries like paralysis and burn trauma, ensuring clients receive funds for medical care and lifestyle adjustments resulting from accidents.

Questions
What can a workers' compensation lawyer do for me?
We ensure you receive medical treatment coverage, weekly disability checks, and compensation for permanent impairments. Without representation, these rights may be denied.
How do I choose a lawyer?
Schedule a free consultation to assess experience, communication style, and commitment to your case. Comfort and transparency are key factors.
Can a personal injury lawyer increase my settlement?
Yes. Insurance companies aim to minimize payouts. Our track record shows clients receive 2-10x more compensation with legal representation.
Is an arrest the same as a conviction?
No. An arrest is an accusation; conviction requires evidence. We protect your rights against unlawful charges and procedural violations.
Do you offer bilingual services?
Yes. Our firm provides legal support in Spanish to better serve Charleston's Hispanic community.
