Unless you're comfortable fighting a war alone against trained prosecutors and law enforcement with all of the power and resources of the State behind them, you need a DUI lawyer. Dealing with an insurance company can add insult to your injury. They're notorious for acting in their own best interests, many times offering a quick settlement at your expense.
I retained Mr. Hilton to represent me in a real estate feud and after wards he put everything on auto-pilot. He was proactive, kept me informed, and represented my best interest. Last but not least, he translated all the legal jargon into simple terms I could understand. The best part is the case against me was dismissed before it ever went to trial.

A criminal charge can flip your world upside down. You are worried, have questions, and have no idea of what will happen when. Hiring an attorney to assess and defend your case is crucial! Hiring an attorney with experience is even more crucial. Rely on my experience to ease your mind and to bring about the best possible resolution to your situation.
You've been arrested, and now you need an attorney because you're facing criminal charges. Perhaps you're angry because you were mistreated or wrongfully accused. Or maybe you're afraid because you simply just "messed up." It happens. Wish as we might, we can't change the past. However, the actions you take today can greatly impact tomorrow.
Maybe you had a few drinks, thought you were okay to drive, and never anticipated being charged with a DUI. Maybe you didn't have any drinks at all, but an overzealous police officer decided that you appeared to be intoxicated. A DUI charge can happen to anyone. According to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), there were 17,781 DUI arrests statewide just in the year 2015.
Don't go without an attorney for a Drug Offense. Many of the drug-related crimes are prosecuted in Circuit Court which means the fines and penalties that go along with them can be extensive. A conviction for a drug offense could have long term implications with employment, ability to obtain student loans, or even rent an apartment.
A Criminal Domestic Violence Attorney may be able to work with you to see that the charges against you might be reduced, diverted, or even dismissed before it ever gets to trial. Many folks charged with Criminal Domestic Violence attempt to defend this on their own, thinking that nothing will happen because the victim has decided to "drop the charges".

Positive: Professionalism
Mr. Hilton was very professional and very helpful with the HOA Shed violation that I had in August 2021. Mr. Hilton was always available when needed for questions and helped me through the proper way to handle the situation. I would recommend Russell Hilton, Attorney at Law to anyone. Thank you again Mr. Hilton.

Russell and Beth were nothing short of AMAZING to work with. They went over and beyond to answer any questions I had and were extremely quick to resolve issues and make phone calls in regard to my needs. Russell represented me wonderfully and I had a great outcome with my situation. I hope to never have to be in a position to use them again, but I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a good attorney!

Russell is an amazing criminal defense attorney , saved my future and basically my life. I had a slew of charges that could have carried decades in jail. He was always honest upfront answered all my phone calls and emails which you often don’t get with and attorney. I’m a northerner so I swore that I wouldn’t get a fair shot at my charges Russell made sure I did him and Beth are amazing . I would say he is the best criminal defense attorney in sc period . He has the knowledge of both sides of the table from being a former prosecutor to being a private attorney which is often what you look

Thankful for the hard work and patience Russell provided. He and his team were more than I could have asked for. It felt as though I was amongst family any time there was a meeting or phone call. They were very accommodating with their willingness to communicate and answer any possible question that arose. They were able to get the best possible outcome for my case and I will be forever grateful that! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Best darn attorney that I've ever dealt with! He took on my challenging case of which was not in his particular specialty field & we WON!!! He went above & beyond to make it a win win situation all the way around. He's very down to earth, patient & takes the time to be sure you understand everything completely. His staff is the utmost friendly - it's a very homey comfortable atmosphere. I highly recommend him & will definitely turn to him myself if I ever need an attorney in the future. Russell & crew you really ROCK!
