No matter the crime or circumstance, The Jeffcoat Firm will fight to protect your rights, reputation, and freedom. In short, we are dedicated to defending those who have been wrongfully accused or who have made an unfortunate mistake and need help.

Hiring a lawyer is one of the most important decisions you will make during this process, and should not be based solely on advertisement. Please review our qualifications and experience, then contact our professional license defense attorneys at The Jeffcoat Firm immediately for a free and confidential consultation to discuss how we can protect your rights.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about hiring The Jeffcoat Firm to defend you:

Do you charge a fee for a consultation?

No, all consultations are free and confidential. We understand that this is an overwhelming and confusing time in your life and that a consultation fee is the last thing you need to worry about in preparing for your defense. We are always happy to meet with you to see if we can help. 

However, we do charge for appellate case reviews because of the amount of time and labor-intensive work involved.

Do you have a set fee for criminal cases?

No. The facts and circumstances for every case are different, so we set our fee after reviewing all of the information provided to us during the initial meeting. 

Please note, our clients customarily pay for expenses in addition to the fee.

When can I schedule a meeting to discuss my case?

The Jeffcoat Firm understands that arrests occur after business hours, so we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If necessary, we can schedule meetings after hours or on the weekends.

What promises can you make about my case?

We promise to work diligently on your case, to answer all of your questions in a timely manner, and to aggressively defend your rights, reputation, and freedom. Our goal is always to achieve the best possible result for you because it is ultimately your decision whether to accept a plea offer or proceed to trial. Your life, your rights, your choice! 

However, any results achieved on behalf of a client in other matters should not create any expectations of a favorable outcome and does not necessarily indicate that similar results can be obtained for other clients.

What types of criminal cases do you defend?

We are also licensed to defend federal criminal charges in the District Court of South Carolina and convictions on appeal before the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States.

We also defend school disciplinary proceedings, forfeiture actions, and driver’s license suspensions in contested case hearings before the administrative law court.
