Monckton, Hembree and Humphries

Humphries Jr. joined the firm in January 2010, focusing on criminal law and personal injury, including wrongful death with a strong emphasis on litigation. Clients of our law firm thus benefit from a variety of perspectives in developing and executing the strategy that works best to resolve their cases.

Our Myrtle Beach Criminal Defense Practice

Our criminal defense attorneys handle felonies and misdemeanors, state and federal cases, violent crimes, and white collar crimes. We also handle related problems that a criminal prosecution can mean for you such as professional licensing difficulties, driver’s license suspension, asset forfeiture, and even academic discipline at a college or university.

Our main objective is to protect you from the worst potential consequences of a criminal prosecution. In many cases, we can work toward a sentence of community service rather than jail or negotiate a guilty plea to a reduced charge. In other cases, it will be advisable to present a fully developed defense at trial. No matter what charges you face, we can work closely with you to find the approach that best fits your situation and objectives.
