Wendy Glass
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.

I recently needed an attorney for a civil matter. I tried using an attorney I've known for a long time and was not very hopeful after meeting with them and giving them a week to "try some things". A friend referred me to Matt and bragged about how good he was. That was an understatement. Matt got my info and went to work right away, meeting me the same day I initially spoke to him, and later going to the courthouse to file paperwork for my case. Again, this was all done in the first day. Over the next few weeks, he and I stayed in contact constantly until my court appearance. He came to court well prepared and resolved my issue. If you find yourself in need of an attorney for any reason, call Matt first. I know from now on I will.

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.
