I received a Failure to Yield ticket after getting into an accident. Being as this was my first ever accident and due to the circumstances of the ticket/accident, I searched for representation. Matt Swilley fought for the dismissal of my ticket, and they dismissed it! He kept me posted every step of the way and was honest about what his plans were & what could happen. No points off of my license, no fees from the ticket, no higher insurance, no stress from having to show up in courtroom in front of a judge, and a peace of mind, which is priceless. Very, very thankful!

I got into an accident in early February before the virus was worse. A woman tried to take advantage of me legally. I went to Matt and he explained what I could do to fight against the woman suing me falsely with huge threats. I went from not being able to sleep at night to passing out as soon as my head hit the pillow. He was calm, informative, and above all else he was patient. He kept up with me for 7 months on and off because the courts were closed. I have never been treated with such honesty and compassion. HE IS NOT AN AMBULANCE CHASER. I got everything I could’ve asked for including all charges being righteously denied for the woman who was blatantly dishonest. He has forever changed how I look at lawyers. Not all lawyers are liars. This one is honest and he’ll prove it if you give him the chance. So don’t mess around and depend on your insurance company when something terrible happens to you or someone you care about. TALK TO THIS LAWYER FIRST.

Matt was fantastic to work with. I live in VA and sought an attorney to represent my son in a criminal matter in SC. I was initially concerned about the distance and my ability to be kept informed but Matt quickly alleviated any concerns. He is a kind and compassionate individual who took the time to ensure I knew what we were dealing with. He was thoughtful and personable, which was what this mom needed..He was also incredibly responsive, and I greatly appreciated that. Along with all the other attributes I’ve mentioned. Matt was realistic and did an excellent job navigating my son through the judicial process. He treats his clients with dignity and respect regardless of the circumstances leading you to him! I am very pleased with the outcome of my son’s situation and would highly recommend Matt to anyone seeking a criminal defense attorney.

How much time do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?

You have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit in South Carolina. A claim against the government must be started in two years. You don’t have to complete the case in that timeframe. You can meet the deadline by just one day and still receive your compensation. However, it’s always best to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible.

What is my personal injury case worth?

A personal injury case may seek compensation for economic loss, like medical bills, and personal loss, like pain and suffering. There are many types of losses that a person may have with a personal injury. These losses can be claimed as compensation. What your personal injury case is worth depends on several factors – the losses you have, how fault is assigned, and sources of compensation.

What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor?

Felonies are usually more serious offenses than misdemeanors. But each offense has its own maximum incarceration and other penalties.

Generally, felonies carry longer potential jail time than misdemeanors. In addition, felonies may result in the loss of rights, such as firearm possession and voting rights, that are not lost with misdemeanors.

How does the criminal defense process work in SC?

The criminal defense process begins when a person is charged with a crime. The person may be arrested, informed of the charges, or summoned to court. At the first hearing, the person pleads guilty or not guilty. The court may impose conditions on the bond.

More serious offenses begin with a preliminary hearing. There may also be a pre-trial conference and motion hearings, and the parties may discuss a plea bargain.
