About Carolina Criminal Defense

Defending Your Future, Not Just Your Case

Protecting your future with calm, prepared defense.

Carolina Criminal Defense is the criminal defense brand of Carolina Law, LLC, built for people who never expected to need a lawyer. When your name, license, career, and reputation are on the line, you deserve more than quick reassurance. You deserve a plan, clear communication, and an attorney prepared to fight for the best possible outcome.

We represent South Carolinians facing DUI charges, traffic-related criminal offenses, misdemeanors, and felonies. Our approach is straightforward: we listen closely, move quickly, and build a defense that fits the facts, not assumptions.

What we believe

Criminal cases are stressful and unfamiliar for most people. You shouldn’t be left guessing what’s happening, what matters, or what comes next. We focus on:

• Fast response and clear communiction
• Straight answers and realistic expectations
• Thorough case preparation and strategic decision-making
• Respect for you as a person, not a case file
