Dedicated Advocacy From an Experienced Florence and Greater Pee Dee area Criminal Defense Attorney

At Barth, Ballenger & Lewis, L.L.P., we pursue the best outcome for our clients charged with the following crimes:

DUI

We move our clients through the criminal process efficiently while taking a fact-based approach to building their cases. Throughout the course of the legal proceedings, they play an active role in their cases, reviewing all the information and watching the police car videos. In addition, our DUI defense attorneys try to protect their ability to drive through an administrative process.

Drug Offenses

In representing clients charged with drug possession or distribution, we look at all aspects of the case, particularly the events that led up to an arrest, including traffic stops, and search and seizure issues, to determine whether our clients’ Fourth Amendment Constitutional rights have been violated. The consequences can be severe if a verdict is guilty on a drug offense. We fight to mitigate the consequences of a possible conviction.

Traffic Tickets

A so-called "minor" crime can carry major penalties. A traffic violation often requires more effort than just showing up in court and paying the fine. Depending on how a police officer writes a traffic ticket, a driver's license could be automatically suspended over speeding or reckless driving.

State and Federal Felony Offenses

Our legal team is composed of former law clerks for a U.S. Federal District Court judge and attorneys involved in death penalty cases. Insight into the court and its processes is vital when the stakes are high.
