My experience was not good with Chris Kennedy. When I first met him he seemed to be on top of things but then I paid $3500 for him to tell me he couldn't find the father of my child to go to court. So court never happened and he kept all of my money.

I do not recommend Patrick Anderson for a divorce or custody case. Maybe he’s a decent criminal defense guy? But when it comes to family law, his team is completely incompetent. If Patrick tells you to use Samantha Adair as a guardian ad litem, don’t do it. They went to law school together and they will use your child as a pawn to force an unfair mediation settlement. Patrick’s team forgot to send opposing counsel my discovery documents and because of their error, I was charged with contempt. Then Patrick went to court and agreed to a continuance without my consent. Using this attorney for my custody battle will always be one of my biggest regrets.

I had a great experience working with Anderson & Moore, LLC on a speeding ticket. I think my case was pretty straightforward or thats how Dianna, the receptionist, made it feel, she made the entire process so easy and stress-free.
Dianna was super understanding and worked closely with the attorney team to handle everything on my behalf. She kept me updated every step of the way and was always quick to respond to my questions. Even when she was out sick for a bit, she got back to me with updates as soon as she returned to the office. Also despite some issues their office was dealing with, they made sure everything ran smoothly without missing a beat.
The best part? I didn’t even have to go to court! They handled everything for me, and my case was dismissed. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional and helpful team.
If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient legal team, I highly recommend Anderson & Moore, LLC. Big thanks to Dianna and everyone there for making this process so simple!

Back in May of this year I was arrested for a criminal offense and of course not being from here I didn’t know where to turn. Thank you to Anderson & Moore everything was handled efficiently and thoroughly through them. I didn’t have to go to court due to my lawyer Patrick handling everything for me. He was able to get my criminal offense expunged off my record and changed to a traffic ticket. They are truly the best.

John Holland was great from the beginning. With him being my 3rd lawyer on my case. Needless to say future lawyers, at the time of contact, weren't to interested in taking a case two other lawyers have been removed, fired, from. John listened to what I had to say and the problems I was having with previous lawyers. He was the only lawyer that "didn't" tell me, right from the start, "Oh, a father getting full custody of his young child is NOT likely to happen in the State of SC. " But of course they would do all they could and take my case. Leading absolutely no where. Then I met John Holland. I honestly don't believe he believed much of what I had to say. After all, I had already gone through 2 attorneys. He was straight up and let me know that if what I was telling him was on the up and up he would take the case. As time went by it was obvious that what I had been saying was true. John gave me the benefit of the doubt and worked extremely hard on my case. Never once mentioning in "SC Father's don't get custody". Well I'm hear to tell all the Father's out there, don't buy into the hype. Great lawyers can achieve great things. Took 6 years total. The last couple years with John fighting for me. As of July 29, 2022 I am happy to say I have full custody of my son. If your a Father that believes you should have custody of your children then fight for that. If you decide to fight, especially in SC, than you'll need a great attorney. John Holland is your man. If you don't give up than John won't either.

Working with John Holland has been a great experience. He has provided much help and knowledge to our situation. Mr. Holland believes in communication and stayed in constant communication throughout the entire process. He cares about his work and sees people not as cases but as people needing help. We have used Mr. Holland on several occasions with better than expected outcome. We want to say thank you Mr. Holland for your hard work, dedication and attention to detail to our case.

John is very well respected by his colleagues, the judges before whom he appears, and most importantly, his clients. He will work tirelessly to achieve the best result for any given client. Like his father, also a very respected lawyer, the South Carolina bar is lucky to have John in the legal profession.

Noel was retained to assist me in child custody litigation. Noel is very experienced in family court matters. He used his experience to secure additional time with my children. I would recommend Noel to others. While no experienced attorney is cheap, Noel and his law firm will address those financial worries so you can make an informed decision.

Mr. Turner was detailed in his explanations of the process. His professionalism and discretion were second to none. I appreciate his diligence throughout my divorce process as he was always very quick to get down to the issues to be discussed. His personable nature we're welcoming and I found it very easy to confide and explain the process of how my marriage ended. I highly recommend Mr. Turner as a competent attorney that worked very hard for me to ensure I had the best representation he could provide.

Rachel Brough, her paralegals, Joan and Stephanie, and her entire staff are top notch. Throughout my divorce and custody case, Rachel gave me her undivided attention. Communication with Rachel is unmatched. She was always available and quick to respond. Rachel genuinely cares about the children involved in custody cases, she fights for what's best for the children involved. As the father of my beautiful daughter, I went to Rachel with concerns that the courts side with mothers. She immediately assured me that just wasn't true. She diligently fought for the best and safest outcome for my daughter. I will be forever grateful. Whether you are going through a simple divorce or a difficult divorce and custody battle, Rachel is top-notch and just can't be beat, in my opinion.

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.
