About Lacey
Biography
My name is Lacey Thompson, and I am a criminal defense attorney in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Columbia, South Carolina. I started my career in criminal defense at the Frederick Law Office, and I have been hooked since my first day. I never wanted to practice criminal defense, but as the saying goes, tell God your plans and He’ll laugh. While it was not what I originally wanted to do, it was where I ended up, and I am so glad I did. I get to help people every day I come into the office. Now, I can’t imagine doing anything else, and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. While this job can often be a struggle with what criminal defense attorneys face, those clients that I have helped and are helping make it worth it.
Any result that Lacey Thomspon achieved on behalf of one client in one matter does not necessarily indicate similar results can be obtained for other clients.
