Criminal Defense
Being charged with a crime can leave you wondering what happens next and how a conviction could affect your future.
You may be worried about jail time, a criminal record, your job, or your family. Whether you were wrongfully accused or simply need answers, getting legal guidance early matters.
I can review your situation, explain your options, and help you take the next step with confidence.
Alcohol Offenses
A DUI or BUI can affect your reputation, finances, job, driver’s license, insurance rates, and even your freedom.
The outcome can depend on the reason for the stop, your health, field sobriety testing, and whether the breathalyzer worked properly.
Every case is different, and no result is guaranteed, but I can carefully review the facts, explain your options, and help you move forward today.
Drug Offenses
A drug charge or conviction can affect your job, education, housing, finances, and even child custody or visitation.
State and federal drug cases can carry serious consequences, so getting legal help early can make a real difference.
I can carefully review the evidence, explain the charges and possible outcomes, and help you understand your options while working to protect your future today.

Is Your Loved One Struggling With Alcoholism? Advice and Resources to Help Alcoholics
Because drinking is so socially acceptable in American society, it can be hard to draw the line between acceptable and risky behavior. This is even more of an issue when it comes to someone who you don’t see all the time. Even if you’re with the person a lot, they may be hiding irresponsible drinking from you.

DUI Checkpoints: Do They Make the Roads Safer?
In South Carolina each year, thousands of drivers are charged with DUI — driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or some other substance that impairs judgment.
It’s natural to think that many of these arrests come as a result of DUI checkpoints, and that these checkpoints are making the roads safer for drivers that obey the laws. But, are they really?
What Others Say About Me
I Found a Good Attorney
My daughter and I needed the services of a good attorney. The attorneys I used in the past were okay, but were lacking in a variety of areas which motivated me to look elsewhere. I called Susan Williams and she responded immediately. She listened to the issues that I brought to her and put together a case to help my daughter’s struggle for justice. She kept me informed of each step and explained the process as the case evolved. The case was unusual and complicated; however, Susan Williams continued to fight for a cause, not for a check. Her persistence paid off and she won my daughter’s case. I recommend her legal services to anyone and everyone who may need a good attorney.

Help When You Need It
Susan Williams can be counted on to help you when you need it the most. The justice system can be very stressful if you are the target of an investigation. Though you may be innocent until proven guilty, the system treats you otherwise.
Susan was very understanding and explained everything and made me feel as if I were her only client. I was always kept informed as my case developed and within a short time she had my case dropped. Without hesitation I would hire Susan again because of Ms. Williams professionalism, perseverance, and analytic skills (she’s also tough).

Heaven Sent
Susan Williams provides a valuable contribution to help me in any way on my behalf concerning my case. She never justified, minimized or made any excuses concerning anything I felt that I needed done.
Susan Williams is a contributing community leader in her line of work and I have no doubt in her ability to succeed farther in the upcoming years.
