I don’t feel John was given enough attention to the way he presented the last closing remarks to the jurors. He was outstanding during the entire trial. I loved his demeanor presentation and humanity in speaking with the witnesses and jurors. Can somebody give him a TV interview please? Thank you John ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Mr. Mokeba is simply the finest lawyer I have sought for assistance. I do not believe there is none finer; confident, professional, honest, and perseverant. If I ever again need legal counsel, he will be my first and only choice.

Lori was amazing. She was extremely quick, smart, and knew the law. She is worth every cent you spend on her. I can not praise her enough. I would recommend her to anyone I know. She was down to earth, and treated me like a person. She actually cared about the outcome and my wellbeing. She is very quick with case law, and knows the law. I thought she did an amazing job, I again recommended her to anyone. You want her defending you.

Mr. Warren is fantastic at his job and I wouldn't look to anyone else for legal advice. He was well-informed, helpful, and made smart decisions that helped me terminate a lease and receive compensation after an unsatisfactory living situation. I am very grateful for his assistance and will absolutely be turning to him for future legal questions.

Mr. Koon gave the best advice to my husband and I in regards to falsely charged of a crime he didn't commit. Mr. Koon went above and beyond on the case in front of judge and the grand jury without any hesitation. Not once did he bat an eye at taking our case on and I'm well we're extremely impressed with Mr. Koon. If accused of the criminal charges they wanted to charge him with actually happened he was facing major time. Fortunately, Mr. Koon's examination of all evidence of the crime, proved to be that of a lesser charge where in fact was the true criminal charge he should've received. Thanks Mr. Koon!!! Best lawyer in Columbia and SC as we see it!!!!

I hired Dayne after I was charged and arrested for a DUI. Being a nurse, I was terrified of how this could affect me and my career. Dayne was extremely nonjudgmental and thorough when working on my case. He advocated exponentially on my behalf and made me feel well-represented. He was able to get allmy charges dismissed completely. I would highly recommend him to anyone charged with a DUI, especially those with a healthcare career that could be greatly affected by such a charge. Thank you!!

Never in a million years would I have ever imagined I would need an attorney in my lifetime. I was extremely fortunate to come across Dayne Phillips when I did need one. He was very thorough, attentive and understanding. He listened with the intent of learning about my situation from an open minded perspective, all the while trying to figure out the best way forward legally. He always kept me informed and updated throughout the process. This made the entire ordeal comfortable and seamless. He was not only extremely knowledgeable and prepared, he also communicated with me and had me prepared on what to expect and how to handle things as well. There were no questions, problems or surprises. Great guy who happens to be an even better Attorney! Awesome job Dayne!

Dayne and his team are the absolute best! It was my first ever ticket and I was both terrified and clueless as to what to do. Courtney walked me through the process and made me feel like I was in great hands and Dayne provided me with amazing legal representation. Thank you so much again! Y’all are the best of the best. I highly recommend Dayne!

This lawyer took on my case 03/2023 and had me sign a contract hiring him and then all of sudden completely ghosted me 10/2023. So I don't know if he settled my case and took the money or what but now I am having to get another lawyer to look into my case, start over, and check to see what this lawyer did. So definitely do not hire this lawyer he is very shady!

I recently sought Patrick's counsel regarding a traffic citation I received. We reviewed the situation together and he assured me he could help, and help he did. He was able to get the ticket completely dismissed. If I ever find myself needing representation again, Patrick Sharpe will be my first call. I highly recommend him to anyone needing legal counsel.

I am pleased to recommend the services of Bill Nettles to anyone needing his services. He was recommended by a friend/coworker. Upon reaching out to Mr. Nettles he responded immediately and issued the needed notice to a prior employer of my spouses within just a few short hours. He had this issue completely resolved within just two short days. I have never received such prompt service from an attorney. If I am ever in need of assistance in the future he will definitely be my first phone call. He is very considerate of his clients and understands that for each individual client what they are enduring at that time is very important.

Extremely professional attorney. I was referred to Bill Nettles by a family friend. I live outside of the state he practices in. There was no lack of communication living half way across the country. I highly recommend anyone looking for legal advice to contact Bill Nettles. He has followed through on everything he said he would do. Above and beyond!

As a lawyer he does good on your behalf, just don’t expect a lot of communication and he is very arrogant. He will remind you consistently about what a good attorney he is in case you have doubt. But again he is a good attorney for our community. I would recommend him if you have a serious case you are fighting. He will gain your confidence. His presentation is excellent. Just be well prepared. Every lawyer has their flaws and his is being extremely arrogant and make sure your money is right and you have a lot of patience.

If I could double the 5 star rating, I would! I cannot say enough good things about Bob Masella and his Paralegal Eagles. From the moment I met them, they all took me in as family. I am an active duty servicemember and had a very complicated and highly disputed custody case. Bob's experience and knowledge in family law is a great help in unique situations for military families. He has the upmost respect for military families. One of his paralegals just happens to be prior military. Bob is able to predict how each scenario may possibly rule out and helps to prepare you for any outcome. He worked extremely hard on my case and was honest with me from the very beginning. That is rare to find in a lot of attorneys. Many times there were high levels of emotions going on, but Bob was always able to calm me down. Bob and his staff never gave up on me and my family. He treated me like a person and not like a custody case. Although my case is closed, Bob and his staff still check up on me and my family just to say hi and see how we are doing. He saved my family. Beyond being a great attorney, Bob Masella is just a genuinely good person. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Masella Law Firm. If you need a Super Lawyer to fight for you, then he is your man. I may fight for our country, but he fought for my family.

It's been over many years that I have known Mr. Masella, I find him honest, dedicated and deeply committed towards his profession. He is a man of integrity and its been a true priviledge that he chose to represent us. Mr. Masella was objective yet personable from the very start, he spend ample time to do his research and patiently reviewed with us the path forward. He was beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited. My family and I are eternally grateful for his services and I hereby recommend Mr. Masella without reservation.

I cannot say enough great things about Strom Law Firm, and especially attorney Bakari Sellers. From the moment I connected with them, I felt not just like a client, but like a person who truly mattered. Bakari Sellers is an incredible attorney—his compassion and empathy are evident in every interaction, yet he is also a fierce and unwavering advocate when it comes to fighting for his clients.
He takes the time to listen, understand, and provide guidance with care, but when it’s time to stand up and fight, his strength, knowledge, and determination shine through. His ability to balance both compassion and strength is what sets him apart.
The entire team at Strom Law Firm is professional, responsive, and genuinely dedicated to their clients’ best interests. If you are looking for a firm that will not only stand by you but also stand up for you, I highly recommend them. Bakari Sellers and the team are truly the best at what they do!

Just a couple months ago I needed an attorney pronto for a family law case including DSS. I was referred to the Mathews. Foster took my case. Ken represented me during my probable cause hearing and Foster thereafter. I will admit I had very little faith in him and was very concerned I would loose the battle. That’s the only thing I did wrong...was doubt him! That guy is the best attorney known to the court of law! I highly recommend them both! Foster Mathews will leave them spinning in their chairs when he’s done. Great job and thank you so much!

I've worked with other attorneys before but Mr. Protopapas has been the best by far. He's a straight shooter that helped me when I needed it most. His vast experience with business litigation was the reason I was able to survive. I had a great experience having him as my attorney and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing help with an LLC or business dispute. If I ever have another business problem again he's going to be my first phone call.

Awesome attorney! Old school but he is amazing at creating new defenses. He's honest and will give you honest feedback. He represented me at a trial by jury. His defense was so tight that the prosecutor, the judge, nor the arresting officer even knew what he was presenting. But, it was legit and presented facts supported by laws. He literally had the prosecutor standing with her knees visibly shaking and requesting a break. He does his homework!!! I would never use anyone else.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of being involved in a car accident, but John Mobley Law Firm made the entire process so much easier to handle. From the moment I contacted them, their team was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. They guided me through every step, ensuring I understood my rights and options. The communication was excellent, and they were always available to answer my questions. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I received a fair settlement that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend John Mobley Law Firm to anyone in need of legal assistance after an accident. They truly go above and beyond for their clients!

In 2022 We lost our beautiful daughter in a horrific car accident due to the negligence and wreckless actions of another person. We were told about Mr. Mobley from a friend. From the beginning he told us if we didn't get paid he wouldn't. John Mobley worked hard throughout our Wrongful Death case to get me & my family all the money he could. He went above and beyond trying to find ways to get the car insurance companies to give us more compensation.
He is very professional, kind, caring, helpful and will work for you to get the job done! Even though the compensation we have received could never ever be enough for the loss of our beautiful daughters life we are very thankful to Mr. Mobley for all he has done.

I highly recommend Tripp Rush for anyone seeking a family court attorney in South Carolina. His expertise and dedication to his clients are evident. Tripp provides clear guidance and support throughout the entire process, demonstrating exceptional professionalism and a deep understanding of family law. His communication skills and commitment to his clients are truly commendable. If you need a reliable and knowledgeable attorney, look no further.

Tripp Rush was appointed my Guardian ad Litem. To say that Tripp picks favorites is an understatement. I live in PA, I've never met this man in person and have only had communications with him virtually and over the phone. Tripp never completed his investigation on my end - he did not contact several members of my family that he was asked to contact nor properly follow up with me. He sides heavily with attorneys he favors. Hearsay was heard that "this guy really doesn't like you" and before trial he felt compelled to write a lengthy report on me (which I never bothered to read), again without ever having met me nor following up his "investigation". I still had to pay for that, and he's seen my children more than I have in the last 2 yrs. Thanks to Tripp my children are now stuck in South Carolina when they should be in Pennsylvania. They have not seen their grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins in over 2 yrs. This firm exploits parents for more money than they can afford. Thanks to him I've lost 2 joyous years of raising my daughters. As a single woman trying to crawl out of an abusive relationship, he shows not a care in the world to the financial devastation "GAL's" cause. We don't do this anguish in PA. The best interests of the children are not what he's concerned about. He's only concerned about his profits. He should be removed from GAL practices.

Mrs. Yvonne is a blessing, she really values her client and when she says she's got you, trust and believe she does! This is coming from a man who had NO trust for lawyers, courts or anything divorce or custody related. God definitely put Yvonne in my path for a reason. She has not only over delivered on many incidents, but also reassures her devotion to you through the whole process. It's easy to not trust, but as long as your doing the right thing, Mrs. Yvonne will take care of her duties as your lawyer. Thank you Yvonne for all you've done so far. You are truly amazing and a God send.

My experience with my attorney was absolutely exceptional. Mrs. Yvonne and her staff brought a unique perspective and a genuine understanding of my situation that made me feel seen, heard, and valued. Her knowledge of the law, combined with fierce dedication to justice, made all the difference in my case.
From the moment I walked into their office, they treated me with the utmost respect and professionalism. They were always available to answer my questions, kept me informed every step of the way, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. I could tell they truly cared about my case and about achieving the best outcome for me.
Not only is Mrs. Yvonne an outstanding lawyer, but she is also an incredible advocate for our community. If you’re looking for someone who is sharp, compassionate, and committed to fighting for what’s right, I wholeheartedly recommend them. I am so grateful to have had her in my corner!”

I HIGHLY recommend Yvonne to anyone facing divorce. She goes hard for her clients and is very supportive throughout the process. From day one she explained everything that I needed to know and when questions arose she responded to them quickly. Office staff is very responsive and professional.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
