Criminal Defense Overview

Columbia, South Carolina: Criminal Defense Lawyer

Criminal Defense Attorney · Columbia, South Carolina
PHONES ANSWERED 24 HOURS DAILY
803-238-7967

It is very important to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible after an arrest. Having a knowledgeable advocate at your side - especially during any police interrogation or interview - can make a huge difference to how your case proceeds. If your arrest is for a minor offense and you are released after receiving a citation, you should still consider hiring a defense lawyer immediately. Your attorney can begin to work on your defense right away - while witness memories are still fresh and important written evidence like police records are readily available.

As a criminal defense lawyer with 12 years of 100% dedication to advocating on behalf of defendants in the criminal justice system, I offer free consultations and am available immediately to discuss your case. I have experience with the complete range of criminal charges, from speeding tickets and DUIs to criminal domestic violence and serious felonies. Contact the Law Office of David B. Tarr, LLC, to talk with me today.

DUI and Traffic Ticket Defense · Underage Drinking

A well-qualified defense lawyer can make a huge difference in the resolution of your DUI or traffic ticket or arrest for underage drinking. I will thoroughly investigate your case and use all my skills to help you avoid a conviction that could result in a driver's license suspension, higher insurance rates, fines and/or jail time.

Defense of Drug Charges

In my drug charge defense practice, I have two goals. The first goal is to reduce or eliminate the charge by examining the police procedures to make sure your 4th Amendment rights regarding legal search and seizure were not violated. My second goal is to avoid a conviction by any means necessary, including through a jury trial or, when applicable, diversion into a pre-trial intervention program.

Criminal Domestic Violence

Conviction for criminal domestic violence can carry severe penalties, including up to five years' imprisonment. These cases can also be difficult for the prosecution to prove before a jury, and for that reason they are often worth fighting.

Serious Felonies

I am a seasoned trial lawyer, having handled numerous jury trials on behalf of defendants charged with serious felonies. Whether you want to negotiate a plea bargain or fight your case in front of a jury, I take very seriously my responsibility to use investigation, negotiation and persuasive arguments to get you the best possible outcome.
