Violent Crimes: Contact Myrtle Beach Defense Attorney
Accusations of criminal wrongdoing are to be taken seriously when those accusations lead to criminal charges and an arrest. Clients often do not realize how serious their legal situation is after a criminal arrest. For example, arson in South Carolina is classified in the same criminal category as is murder. It is a very serious crime to set a car on fire.
Your criminal charges in North Carolina or South Carolina may have been for any of the following:
- Assault
- Battery
- Aggravated assault (if a deadly weapon was in possession)
- Domestic violence (between family members or domestic partners)
- Murder, homicide or manslaughter
- Vehicular manslaughter
- Vandalism

- Jail time
- Fines and penalties
