Second chance

Where do I even begin? Seeing my son get caught up with the wrong crowd and find himself on the 'wrong side of the tracks was a nightmare the worst thing I’ve experienced next to death itself. As a 30-year veteran, I never imagined my son would be in this position, or that our family would ever face ...something like this. I immediately began searching for a lawyer to represent my 18 yr old son, who had such a promising future ahead of him. When I came across the Law Office of Marion M. Moses, I instinctively knew he was the one who could help. My son was facing 32 felony charges, including the attempted murder of a police officer. To say I was sick to my stomach learning about the road ahead would be a massive understatement. Marion and his amazing team made this entire terrifying process manageable. His deep knowledge of the law and years of experience were evident from day one. In the end, the outcome was more than we could have hoped for: my son pled to three felonies for grand larceny with no probation. Marion secured him a second chance at life, avoiding what could have been a lifetime in prison. I am beyond grateful for how Marion helped turn a series of terrible decisions into a fresh start. My family and I will be forever thankful. I truly cannot thank the Law Office of Marion M. Moses enough.

Ticket Gone In Ten Minutes

Marion was great he got my case dismissed only took him ten minutes. My ticket would have been 2 points on my record, but not on Marion watch. If you want a lawyer who knows how to handle a case my advise call him he and his team are a 5 STAR

Highly recommend

Excellent and efficient, professional office. Marion called me back the same day I reached out about my son and gave me excellent advice and guidance from the get go. Very reassuring to have this team help us when our son was 7 hours away at school and I’d recommend them to anyone needing help for a ...college aged situation.

Outstanding Legal Counsel

Mr. Marion Moses is an outstanding attorney, and I recommend him without reservation. I retained him after facing charges stemming from an unlawful arrest. From our initial consultation, Mr. Moses demonstrated a sharp, comprehensive understanding of my case's complexities. He swiftly identified the ...critical legal flaws and procedural errors in the arrest, moving with precision to challenge the charges in court. Beyond his legal acumen, he treated me like family throughout the entire process, providing essential reassurance and support. Thanks to his expertise, meticulous preparation, and focused advocacy, the court found his arguments compelling, and my charges were fully dismissed. He is a highly skilled, effective, and professional attorney who delivered the absolute best outcome possible. If you need serious, knowledgeable legal representation, Mr. Moses is the lawyer you want in your corner.

Marion is a beast

Marion is a down right beast. He helped me all the though the process with my charges. He answered my call almost every time I called and always called or texted me back with a answer. He is a great guy and a even better attorney. I will definitely be using him again if I ever need him.

"I have known Marion for over 14 years. He is highly respected among other lawyers. I recommend him for litigation, personal injury, worker's comp and criminal defense. Marion is an intelligent, top notch professional, yet down to earth and has the unique ability to explain things in a way that is easy to understand. I have seen him advocating for his clients in Court. I am confident in Marion's ability to handle cases; that is why I often recommend him to potential clients looking for quality representation in Columbia, SC and surrounding areas."

"I have known Marion for many years. He is an excellent attorney and cares about his clients. Although we both practice criminal defense, if someone tells me that they've hired Mr. Moses, I tell them that they are in good hands."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Marion is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys in the all encompassing field of criminal law that I know. Marion is also one of the most likable people you can meet. The two combined are what make him one of the best trial lawyers in the state. Don't confuse his likability for lack of fierce advocacy. He won't let you down and it doesn't hurt that the other side likes your attorney!"
