Absolutely would not recommend, if you must use Public Defenders office, then do not use Parks Small. Ask for one of the assistant Public Defenders to do your case if you can not afford an actual attorney. Parks Small is responsible for all t he offices in the state of South Carolina and spend a week at each one and your case will get little help. After providing documents, witness contact information, none was entered into evidence, he provided no counseling on his direct examination when I was placed on the stand, just told me to explain in my own words, which I was totally unprepared for. He misquoted information to the jury which was a large part to my conviction and failed to object to outright lies told to the jury by the prosecution, despite having exculpatory evidence to show that he was misleading and lying to the jury in my case that I took to trial. The representation provided was subpar and in my opinion Parks Small is too old to handle this position and was handled like a newly graduated law student against the younger prosecutor in my particular case. This was simply a few of the poor representation provided by Mr. Small, but I would recommend you beware and take note that you do not want him handling your criminal trial. His handling of the matter caused an jury verdict of guilty and 78 months in Federal Prison.
