Traffic Ticket

When I called this office, I was so confused and anxious about the whole process. Thank God a lovely lady by the name of Ms. Mil answered the phone and walked me through the process and in my situation, this law office has decided to just provide the information instead of just taking people money.... I’m so grateful and blessed that Ms. Mill answered my questions. She was truly a God sent blessing!

Posted by Tiffany | February 28, 2023 | Hired Attorney

Very pleased

The best law firm I’ve ever worked with. They went above and beyond on everything that they did for me and my case. They are the only law firm I would ever go back to if I needed an attorney!

Sonia is awesome

Sonia was the only one in the office this morning and she went out of her way to help look up a legal code that I was asking specifically about she called me back and made me feel safe about the question that I was asking she even called the DMV in South Carolina and made sure and got the question an...swered for me so that I could relax and feel safe about the question that I was asking. If I open my own law firm I would hire Sonya away from these guys they probably put up a fight and we would have to put them a boxing ring and have celebrity boxing match the raise money whoever sign you gets to work for but she’s a great employee and this firm I would recommend them 10 times over any other farm in rock Hill or the surrounding area good job Sonia

Highly recommend

The Jeffcoat firm and Mike Hemlepp are topnotch! I'd spoken with attorneys in Greenville, SC and they did not seem to take the time to fully understand my case. It really made my feel like a victim all over again. At the Jeffcoat firm, I was immediately shown respect and seen as a person. I knew that... I was in the right place. I could not have asked for better communication. Mike Hemlepp worked with me until I was happy with the outcome. If you want someone representing your case that clearly understands what you've experienced and will fight for you, then I highly recommend using them.

My experience with this firm exceeded my expectations. Their hard work resulted in a very great outcome. They were professional from the start, and they were always very easy to reach.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
