Rock Hill, South Carolina: Criminal Defense Lawyers

DUI/DWI · Drug Possession or Trafficking · Theft · Burglary · Criminal Sexual Conduct · Rape · Assault

Being arrested for a crime can be frightening and shameful. It seems as if everyone is against you - and the fact of the matter is, they are. An aggressive and highly qualified criminal defense lawyer can serve as your advocate through every stage of the criminal law proceedings against you. Your lawyer will be the one person in the criminal justice system whose primary goal is to protect your rights and fight for the best possible outcome on your behalf.

Criminal defense attorney Michael G. Matthews has well over a decade of solid experience defending South Carolinians accused of crimes. Mr. Matthews opened his law firm in 1996, and prior to that spent four years as an assistant prosecutor for the Sixteenth Judicial Circuit Solicitor's Office in York County, South Carolina. He has built a reputation as a strong and trustworthy criminal defense attorney - for clients accused of crimes large or small. If you have been arrested, do not delay - contact the Law Office of Michael G. Matthews for an immediate and confidential appointment.

No Matter What the Crime, You Will Get Fiercely Devoted Representation

Whether you are charged with driving under the influence (DUI), child molestation, drug trafficking, violent assault or some other crime, our criminal defense attorney exhibits the same unyielding dedication to protecting your rights as a criminal defendant. Every case gets a thorough investigation. We review police reports to determine whether proper procedures were followed and whether any action was taken that might have violated your constitutional rights. We interview witnesses and collect physical evidence to investigate whether witness accounts and evidence back up the police reports or tell a different story. We search for mitigating factors that may help decrease the penalties you face. And we sit down one-on-one with you to explain the results of our investigation and your available options.

Our goal is always to get the absolute best possible result for each criminal defendant we represent. Depending on the facts of the case, the best option may be a criminal trial and a possible not-guilty verdict. Conversely, a client might be best served by a plea bargain that results in a guilty plea to a lesser offense and a lower fine or less jail time. For every criminal defendant, we insist on working together on your defense - you must be fully informed every step of the way so that you can make intelligent decisions and contribute to your own defense.
