William Robert Hellams

I’m Attorney Will Hellams, founder of Hellams Law in Greenville, South Carolina. Before becoming a lawyer, I spent 20 years in public safety, where I saw firsthand how the justice system can either protect people or fail them. That experience is what led me to law school—and it still drives how I advocate for my clients today.

At Hellams Law, I represent individuals facing life-changing challenges: being charged with a crime, battling for custody of their children, or standing up to law enforcement after a civil rights violation. My practice focuses on criminal defense, family law, and civil rights litigation. Whether you're defending your freedom, your family, or your rights, I fight to make sure your voice is heard and your case is treated with the urgency it deserves.

You won’t be handed off to a case manager or junior associate. I personally handle every case and stay accessible throughout. I bring the same preparation and intensity to the courtroom, the negotiation table, or the first strategy call—because I know what’s at stake.

If you need an attorney who understands what you're up against and is ready to stand beside you, I’m here to help.
