About Cameron

Over a decade of experience in State and Federal criminal cases.

As a criminal defense attorney, I often meet my clients at their darkest moments. My job is to shine a light—on overlooked facts, on helpful resources, on legal rights—and help to lift that darkness. It is challenging work I feel privileged to do.

I became a lawyer after years of working in higher education, the technology sector, and the restaurant industry because everywhere I looked I saw gaps in our justice system. No matter where I worked—whether with honors students at USC, the most talented computer engineers in Silicon Valley, or the hardest-working dishwashers in Los Angeles—I saw people’s rights jeopardized by systems and power structures that all too often lose sight of the real people involved. And I knew I could help.

    Review Cameron Blazer

    Experience When It Matters the Most

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    Cameron is very professional, while also being very personable at the same time. She is down to earth, practical, empathetic and shows genuine concern for her cases. She is a great communicator and keeps you informed throughout the process, while working tirelessly on your behalf. She is very experienced, knows the law inside and out, but is not afraid to think outside of the box to figure out the best results for the case. She truly goes above and beyond and I would tell anyone that she is the best attorney you could ever hire.

    Cameron is one of the top attorneys in Charleston at all levels. I also practice here locally and we often work together on certain cases. If I could hire anyone for a friend or loved one, it would be Cameron. She works incredibly hard for her clients and intelligently things through every step of every case, knowing that a patient, purposeful, and well-orchestrated defense is the best defense. I cannot recommend her enough. She has the experience and skill necessary to help anyone accused of a crime at any level.

    Cameron Blazer Far Exceeds Expectations!

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    Mrs Blazer consulted with me in a timely and professional manner. I spoke with several attorneys and hired Cameron Blazer as she spoke to me with knowledge, understanding, confidence and compassion in a difficult situation. My case got caught in South Carolina’s court system for quite some time. Cameron stood by me for the original agreement as she spent many more hours than expected working on my case. She was easily accessible and greatly responsive throughout the whole process. Her communication with me was extremely honest concerning my situation and the outcome possibilities. In my situation myself and my husband were charged with the same charges and I almost hired an attorney that would have taken both our cases at a reduced rate. When I tried to hire Cameron for both our cases she would not do so as it was not in our best interest. This would have been in Cameron’s best financial interest but she did what was best for us. Very Honorable! Her knowledge of the law concerning and defense of her clients is Top Notch. If you need a lawyer in South Carolina Look No Further! Cameron Blazer is the Right Lawyer!

    Blazer Law Firm has everything you would want and more if you are in need of an attorney. Cameron has been my attorney for over a year. Exceptional service. Quick responses to any questions that come up. Cameron Blazer is the type of lawyer that wants to get to know you and actually cares about you, your family, and your future. Ms. Blazer knows the law, and knows the people in this business. Best of all - She is honest, even if it is not what you want to hear. I knew instantly after meeting Cameron for the first time, that I wanted her on my side. From the beginning she advised me on what to do to. From her advice and guidance - I truly believe I received the best possible punishment from the courts. I would recommend Blazer Law Firm with the highest regard to anyone.

    If you believe that there are a limited number of ways in which one can be an effective advocate, then you have not witnessed Cameron. She uses philosophy and even poetry combined with experience and savvy to work wonders. ("Hail to thee, blithe Spirit!")

    Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

    If you find yourself facing the prospect of criminal charges, you would be hard pressed to find a more intelligent, caring, experienced and knowledgeable attorney than Cameron. As frequent opposing counsel for the government for years, I can tell you that while the other side will enjoy dealing with her, they will be quick to give her their ear and hear your side of the story and very reluctant to go head to head with a lawyer of her caliber in the courtroom. She is an excellent attorney, a prudent counselor, and a great person to have on your side during tough times.
