By Far the Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in Myrtle Beach

I hired Bradley to represent me in a recent criminal matter. I honestly went in expecting jail time and was merely hoping that Bradley could help me get a lighter sentence. His performance went above and beyond my expectations in every way. Not only did I avoid jail, Bradley was able to have the char...ges completely dismissed. In my interactions with Bradley, he was extremely understanding, he actually listened, and he genuinely seemed to care about me as a person (which in my experience, is rare for an attorney). I would HIGHLY recommend Bradley for any legal need you may have. He is by far the best attorney that I have ever worked with.

Surfside court

He was so easy to talk to, explained everything, gave me a good idea of what his plan was for me, answered emails, was early to court and just a great guy. When I went for my consultation I was so nervous but he really cares and took time to hear my story and about me. When it came time for court he ...spoke with the officer and the court many times, keeping me up to the minute on what was offered and what he was working to do. I am very happy with the result!!!

Minor drug possession and shop-lifting

Hired Mr. Yates to handle my son's case. We live out of state and needed a lawyer to handle this case for us without us having to make trips back and forth to the Myrtle Beach area. We were very pleased with his handling of this case and also our interaction with his legal secretary. Mr. Yate's firm ...keep us informed and handled the case professionally. We were pleased with the outcome of the case. I would recommend Mr. Yates.

  • 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.
