Family Law
Many clients facing divorce simply want to put the proceedings behind them as quickly as possible, so that they may start anew. However, the manner in which your divorce is handled determines your family and your financial future. Knowledgeable and supportive legal counsel is essential to ensure your rights and interests are protected, now and in the years to come. We have experience assisting clients in the following matters:
- Contested divorce
- Custody
- Alimony
- Child support
- Enforcement
- Visitation
- Adoption
- Non-contested matters
Too often, people place their relationships with their children, accumulated wealth, and liberty in the hands of the South Carolina Family Court system. Do not risk your well-being or the well-being of your family; we can help you navigate this complex system and reach your desired outcome.

Estate Planning
Estate planning is about protecting your assets, securing your family’s future, and ensuring your wishes are honored. Proper planning gives you peace of mind and provides clarity for your loved ones during challenging times.

Criminal Defense
If you have been arrested or face criminal charges, your first move should be to call an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Do not make any statements without counsel present to protect your rights. We have defended clients against a range of charges, from the most serious felonies to misdemeanors, including but not limited to:
- Murder
- Kidnapping
- Armed robbery
- Criminal sexual conduct
- Trafficking of illicit drugs
- Lynching
- Burglary
- Criminal domestic violence
- Assault and battery
- Grand larceny
- Theft and other property crimes
- Felony driving under the influence
- Driving under the influence (DUI, DUAC, DWI)
- Juvenile delinquency
- Possession of cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine (meth)
- Illegal possession of alcohol
- Illegal possession of prescription medications
- Financial fraud
The criminal justice system is often intimidating for defendants; however, an advocate with experience and integrity can help you fight the charges brought against you, and maximize the opportunity for dismissal, acquittal, or reduced sentencing.
Personal Injury
If you or a loved one has been hurt because of another's negligence, recklessness, wrongdoing, criminal act or intentional act, you should not have to carry the costs of your recovery. Personal injury claims seek to compensate injury victims for economic damages, such as medical expenses and lost wages, as well as less tangible damages, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress. Chris has extensive experience representing clients in personal injury claims involving:
- Wrongful Death
- Car wrecks
- Slip and falls (premises liability)
- On-the-job injuries
- Dog bites
- Defective products
- Victims of violent crime
- Property damages and losses resulting from drunk drivers
- Victims of drunk drivers
- Victims of bars that over serve customers
What you do in the days immediately following an accident or injury can have a dramatic effect on the outcome of your claim. With strong legal counsel on your side, you have the best chance of holding responsible parties accountable for their actions.
