Law Firm Overview

Choosing A South Carolina Lawyer

Choosing a good South Carolina trial lawyer can be one of the most important decisions your family may make. Whether looking for an auto accident injury attorney, a criminal defense lawyer, or a lawyer able to handle a real estate closing, the choice of an attorney can sometimes mean the difference between failure and success. That being said, a surprising number of South Carolinians do not have sufficient information available to make this critical choice. Many people simply ask a friend or family member for recommendations when they are seeking a qualified attorney. Although this can be a good starting point, it should not be the end of the process. A good South Carolina divorce lawyer may not have the experience to act as an auto accident attorney, a criminal defense lawyer, or a workers’ compensation lawyer. Just because a lawyer is competent in one particular field does not mean that he or she has the skill to handle other areas of South Carolina law. At Kinard & Jones, LLC, we have broad legal experience in a wide variety of areas, including Personal Injury, Wrongful Death, Workers' Compensation, Workplace Injuries & Industrial Accidents, Real Estate, and Criminal Law.
