I was picked out of random for a DUI leaving a restaurant in Murrells Inlet. I did not know of any lawyers in the Myrtle Beach area and when I did internet search for lawyers in Myrtle Beach, I was very impressed with Mr. Monckton's background. I met with Mr. Monckton and his paralegal. They told me that I had a great case because of my upcoming knee replacement surgery. His paralegal Rhonda kept up to date with everything and they got my DUI dismissed. I would highly recommend Mr. Monckton.

My nephew became addicted to drugs 5 years ago. I brought him to Myrtle Beach in hopes of a new environment and to have the support of his family near him. In July 2016 drugs found their way back into his life and on August 14, 2016 he was arrested. I reached out to Billy Monckton, as I was unsure who I could turn to. He went and met with my nephew, listened to his side of the story and contacted me. He said he would represent my nephew. I knew at that moment my nephew was in good hands. After 7 months of my nephew behind bars Billy Monckton was able to secure Drug Court in lieu of the reduced sentence of 5 years in jail. Billy Monckton takes the time to know the reason(s) one came to the point they are in their life and what lead them to do a crime. He does his homework and does what is in the best interest of the client and not what the family wants at the immediate. Billy Monckton works for the long term success of his clients. Without Billy Monckton's expertise and willingness to go above and beyond, my nephew would not have a second lease on life. I would highly recommend Billy Monckton to anyone who was looking for counsel who cares, who is honest and who is willing to fight for ones rights.

Mr. Monckton has served my family on several occasions and we have always found him to be knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful. He provides clear explanations and recommendations regarding legal issues, and follows through to resolution of each issue.

Because of some really bad decisions I found myself facing some serious charges. When I got word that there was a warrant for my arrest, I immediately contacted Mr. Monckton who made a phone call arranging a time in which I could surrender in order to save the embarrassment of being arrested at my job plus giving me the opportunity to make arrangements for a bondsman. Once I was bonded out I met with Mr. Monckton and explained everything that had happened. He took notes as he listened, he asked questions and was genuinely interested in hearing what happened and how I got to this point. He assured me that he would be able to help me, he explained to me in detail the seriousness of my charges and the maximum time I was facing. He explained the law and all the negative ramifications that my charges carried. I was looking at up to 20 years in prison. Once I retained his services he always made himself available to me, answering my calls, returning messages and keeping me updated on my case. He fought hard for me and with his knowledge of the law he was able to get my charges dismissed in exchange for me pleading to a lesser non violent charge carried up to 10 years in prison. When Mr. Monckton told me that I figured that since this is my first offense I'd probably get 3 maybe 5 years, but Mr. Monckton was able to negotiate a YOA sentence. Mr. Monckton was able to get me a resolution far better than I was looking at originally or could have imagined. My charges can be expunged once I complete all my probation and other requirements. I want to be able to use this opportunity to get my priorities right and my life straightened out and all of this is possible because Mr. Monckton was the man by my side through my legal process. With my record expunged I can start over with a clean slate. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.
