Great law firm all around
This is one of the best law firms in have ever dealt with from the young lady who answered the phone and took my info down and had James call me back within a couple of hours and he was a great help. I am from out of state and had an issue that I needed resolved and couldn't get a hold of anyone at the courthouse so Googled lawyers in SC and they came up and he helped me out with a great consultation. I would definitely recommend Snell law firm to anyone including friend and family.

Knowledgeable, helpful, patient.
Mr. Snell's office was prompt in responding to my call after my arrest. I have never been in legal trouble before and was unsure of what to expect. Mr. Snell was never judgemental and very patient in allowing me to state my case so to speak. He carefully explained all the options available to me in relation to my case and never pushed me to make any legal moves I did not want to make. He was always quick to answer any questions I had as things progressed and kept me in the loop with any developments and information that I needed to be aware of. If anyone needs a criminal defense attorney, I would highly recommend him. He is there to help and guide, not to judge, and I feel like he did his job very well.

Excellent lawyer would recommend to anyone!
Excellent lawyer. Got myself into a lot of trouble with a very serious charge and he got it brought down and no jail time! He came in the middle of the night spur of the moment to be there when I needed him and I was 2 hours away. He also kept me very informed the whole time and never rushed me off the phone, he always answered all my questions thoroughly and was very nice and helpful.
