Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to appeal a conviction?

Deadlines are short — often 30 days after sentencing. Contact an appeals lawyer immediately.

Is an appeal a new trial?

No. Appeals review the trial record for legal errors; new evidence usually isn't considered.

Should I talk to the police before I have a lawyer?

You have the right to stay silent and to ask for a lawyer. Politely say you want to speak with an attorney before answering questions.

How soon should I hire a criminal defense lawyer in South carolina?

As soon as you're charged or know you're being investigated. Early help can affect bail, evidence and whether charges are filed at all.

Can a criminal charge be dismissed?

Sometimes — for weak evidence, an illegal stop or search, or through programs like pretrial diversion. A local defense lawyer can tell you what's realistic for your case.
