    Understanding Criminal Defense in South Carolina

    Being charged with a crime is one of the most stressful experiences anyone can face. Your freedom, your reputation, and your future are all on the line. You need an attorney who will fight for you from day one.

    As a former assistant solicitor, I prosecuted everything from traffic offenses to murder. I know how prosecutors think, how they build cases, and most importantly, where their cases are weak.

    I’ve also worked on the other side of the system as a State Representative, authoring laws that help people get second chances. I understand the entire criminal justice system—and I use that knowledge to fight for you.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Should I talk to the police?

    No. You have the right to remain silent. Exercise it. Call me immediately and let me handle all communication with law enforcement.

    Can I get my record expunged?

    Many offenses can be expunged, especially first-time offenses. I authored expanded expungement laws in South Carolina and can advise you on your eligibility.

    What’s the difference between a misdemeanor and felony?

    Felonies are more serious crimes punishable by more than one year in prison. Misdemeanors are punishable by up to one year. Both can have serious long-term consequences.
