Attorney Matthew M. McGuire has been defending the accused since 1989. While other lawyers are still learning, we've already mastered every criminal defense strategy. Your life is too important for an inexperienced attorney.
Thousands of cases won. Hundreds of clients saved from prison. Decades of courtroom victories.
No case too complex, no charge too serious. McGuire Law has successfully defended clients against every type of criminal charge in South Carolina courts.
Facing life in prison? These charges carry the harshest penalties. Don't trust your life to anyone but a proven defender.
Property crimes can mean years in prison and massive restitution. We fight to minimize or eliminate these consequences.
Drug charges destroy futures. With our experience since 1989, we know every defense strategy.
White-collar crimes mean career death. Professional licenses, reputation, and freedom are all at risk.
Sex crime accusations ruin lives before trial even begins. Immediate, aggressive defense is critical.
Cyber crimes are federal cases with severe penalties. You need an attorney who understands both technology and law.
Lose your license, lose your job. DUI convictions destroy careers and cost tens of thousands.

Protect your child's future. Juvenile records can follow them for life without proper defense.
Federal charges mean federal prison. The stakes couldn't be higher - you need proven federal court experience.

35 years of experience has taught us exactly how to beat criminal charges.
Available 24/7 for arrests. We immediately begin protecting your rights, advising you on what to say (nothing!), and start building your defense before the prosecution even files charges.
We investigate every angle: police mistakes, evidence problems, witness credibility, constitutional violations. Our 35 years of experience reveals defenses others miss.
Every case is different. We develop custom defense strategies based on decades of courtroom experience, knowing which approaches work with which judges and prosecutors.
Sometimes we can resolve cases without trial through skilled negotiation: reduced charges, alternative sentencing, dismissals. Our reputation opens doors others can't.
When negotiation fails, we're ready for war in the courtroom. Thousands of trials over 35 years have made us formidable adversaries for any prosecutor.
If convicted, we handle appeals, expungements, sentence modifications. Our relationship doesn't end with the verdict - we fight for you at every stage.
