PRO
also known as Steve Denton
I was formerly a narcotics and vice squad officer in the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Department. I worked my way in to homicide investigations before I retired from law enforcement. When I was 43 I went to law school, ventured over to the other side of the courtroom, and I now represent defendants.
I was recently interviewed by Fox Carolina's Sharon Johnson becuase of my background with the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department, including serving in homicide investigations. You can view that interview here:
Because of my background, I know first hand people need defending.
Just because you are charged with a crime doesn't mean you are guilty.
You should not handle your case without the help of an attorney. Please feel free to call me on my cell any time at. I will actually answer your call!
