Charleston Criminal Defense

Charleston, South Carolina recently opened the expanded Charleston County Jail. The new facility encompasses a much larger area and has some of the newest technology. This facility holds state and federal defendants. There is no separation between these defendants inside the facility. Visitation is very liberal for Charleston Defense lawyers, but family and friends must still visit at designated times. This jail is located off of Leeds Avenue in Charleston, South Carolina. Although this facility is new in many regards, most of our clients have complaints regarding the actual enclosure and sleeping designations.
Many federal defendants are required to attend court every two to three months in Charleston federal court. This requires the defendants to appear in downtown Charleston extremely early in the morning. Usually the jail correction officers will wake up the defendant by 3:00 a.m. to attend a 11:00 a.m. hearing. Our Charleston criminal defense lawyers are experienced in defending federal cases in South Carolina. We are able to guide our clients through this process and defend their case to the best of our ability.

Our Charleston defense attorney has over 13 years of experience defending clients in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and federal courts throughout the United States. We also have an appellate attorney that handles the appeal of any conviction or sentence.
