Why You Need Immediate Defense in Murder or Homicide Cases
Prosecutors pursue homicide charges with maximum intensity. From day one, law enforcement, investigators, and the state are building a case against you. Without an experienced criminal defense attorney by your side, you may lose critical opportunities to challenge the narrative, suppress evidence, or avoid pretrial detention.

Our team moves fast to protect your rights—whether you’ve just been charged, are out on bond, or are being questioned as a suspect. We offer criminal defense in
English, Spanish, and Portuguese, so you can understand every step of the process, clearly and completely.
Our Approach to Murder Defense in South Carolina
We conduct an immediate, independent investigation into the facts of your case. This includes reviewing police reports, examining forensic evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying constitutional violations—like unlawful searches or coerced confessions.

We explore every defense strategy: mistaken identity, self-defense, lack of intent, mental health, or flawed forensic procedures. If the case proceeds to trial, we provide a comprehensive courtroom defense tailored to the specifics of your situation.
