I grew up in Spartanburg, and remained in Spartanburg until I graduated from Wofford College with a degree in psychology. At the suggestion of some friends, I decided to attend law school at the University of South Carolina. After finishing law school, I was given the opportunity to serve as a law clerk for Circuit Judge Kenneth G. Goode. Following the one-year clerkship, I moved back to Spartanburg and worked as an assistant solicitor under Trey Gowdy in the Seventh Judicial Circuit. I joined the private practice of Burts Turner & Rhodes in 2007. While I practice in multiple areas of law, the majority of my practice is in Family Law [divorce, custody, support], Probate [wills, trusts, and estates], Civil Litigation [contracts, construction law and real estate disputes] and Personal Injury.

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

I’m Attorney Will Hellams, founder of Hellams Law in Greenville, South Carolina. Before becoming a lawyer, I spent 20 years in public safety, where I saw firsthand how the justice system can either protect people or fail them. That experience is what led me to law school—and it still drives how I advocate for my clients today.. At Hellams Law, I represent individuals facing life-changing challenges: being charged with a crime, battling for custody of their children, or standing up to law enforcement after a civil rights violation. My practice focuses on criminal defense, family law, and civil rights litigation. Whether you're defending your freedom, your family, or your rights, I fight to make sure your voice is heard and your case is treated with the urgency it deserves.. You won’t be handed off to a case manager or junior associate. I personally handle every case and stay accessible throughout. I bring the same preparation and intensity to the courtroom, the negotiation table, or the first strategy call—because I know what’s at stake.. If you need an attorney who understands what you're up against and is ready to stand beside you, I’m here to help.
