Criminal Defense

Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, South Carolina

Criminal defense ensures the rights of an accused individual. It also allows the accused person to be represented and defended in a court of law against charges that have been brought against him or her. In the United States, an accused person is considered innocent until proven otherwise. At the Dick James Law Firm in Greenville, South Carolina, we believe in The Constitution and in the innocence of our clients. We will fight for your freedom and for your right to clear your good name of any false charges against you.

Avoiding Catastrophe

When someone has been wrongly accused of a criminal offense, the ramifications can destroy his career, reputation (both professionally and socially), and the rest of his life. Our team of talented lawyers will dedicate themselves to researching, analyzing, and trying the case against you in order to prove your innocence and get you acquitted of all charges, or even have them dropped.

Criminal Acts

A person who has been accused of a criminal act must move quickly to contact a qualified South Carolina criminal defense lawyer who can represent them and take action to save their lives from being completely destroyed by a false accusation. Criminal acts requiring a strong criminal defense may include:

• Theft, fraud and shoplifting
• Drug trafficking/drug offenses
• Traffic violations
• Criminal domestic violence
• Probation violation
• Driving under the influence
• Murder
• Sex crimes
• Assault and battery

If you have been accused of any of these offenses, you need immediate legal representation. Because your charge may be a felony or misdemeanor, you must understand the differences between these types of crimes and the possible punishment you may face with each. If you are under the age of 18 and have been accused of a crime, it is considered a juvenile offense, but you still must obtain legal representation to protect your rights and your innocence.
