I believe clients are paying for access to their lawyer and information as much as results. While Michelle can often answer questions I am always available to clients unless I am in court. Calls never go unreturned. The client does not meet with an investigator or have an investigator or paralegal with them in court. At our first meeting I will spend as much time as you need to tell me all that you want and to get all your questions answered. We will provide you copies of the discovery we recieve as well as any other materials - cases, motions, etc. - pertinent to your matter.. Come meet your lawyer.

I am proud to be a criminal defense lawyer. I have over three decades of experience in criminal justice as a former FBI agent, former Assistant State Prosecutor (Solicitor), former Charleston City Prosecutor and municipal judge. This diverse exposure to many facets of the legal system has provided me with invaluable experience, which is otherwise difficult to acquire. I have been Board Certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, qualifying me as a specialist in Criminal Trial Advocacy. I am also lead chair death penalty certified by the South Carolina Supreme Court.. I have tried cases in city, county, state and federal courts in South Carolina since 1980. This inclusive experience has afforded me the opportunity to learn that the best outcomes are achieved by understanding a client's needs and dedicating myself to their interests. A person charged with a criminal offense faces a path of accusation pursued by a government entity with great resources. This warrants the advocacy of a lawyer with significant experience in criminal defense.. I will only decide to undertake representation of a client after meeting with them to discuss their case in detail. The first meeting is an integral component of my representation process. It allows me to become acquainted with a client and establish a professional, trusting relationship with them. This meeting also provides me with the chance to educate a prospective client on their legal matters and inform them of the next steps in their legal proceedings. I enjoy providing comprehensive education to my clients about their case because it allows us to better communicate with each other.. - Tim Kulp

Victor Li is a native of the Pee Dee. He grew up in Cheraw, South Carolina and attended Cheraw High School until his sophomore year when he was accepted to the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics. Victor is an avid gamer and enjoys competing in Scrabble, Poker and Chess.. Victor graduated from Clemson University in 1999 with a B.S. in Chemistry and from there attended the University of South Carolina School of Law. After graduating from law school in 2003, Victor postponed taking the bar in pursuit of opening Northstar Learning Center, a tutoring center focused on helping underprivileged children in the Midlands.. In 2008, Victor began his legal career in the Fifth Judicial Circuit working as a prosecutor for then Solicitor Barney Giese. Although Victor was grateful for his first opportunity to practice law in the State of South Carolina, he quickly realized that his passion was defending and helping the people in his community. Since 2009, Victor has been protecting and defending the constitutional rights of those who are accused of drug charges, DUI, and other violent crimes.. “I believe that honesty and transparency are the best ways to cultivate a strong attorney-client relationship. Once you have retained me for the entirety of your case, you will be provided with my personal cell phone number to ensure easy and direct communication between client and attorney, not between office staff and client.”. In 2014, Victor was instrumental in reforming the City of Columbia Police Department’s drug lab. He effectively challenged the drug analysis of the department’s drug chemist by showing that the reported drug weight was grossly exaggerated. Because of his work, not only was his client protected from false prosecution, but so were hundreds of other defendants who would have been victims of shoddy police work.. Victor believes in his clients and bases his practice on a client-centric perspective.

I’m Attorney Will Hellams, founder of Hellams Law in Greenville, South Carolina.

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..
