Finding a lawyer in Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach sits in Horry County, a fast-growing stretch of the South Carolina coast built around tourism, golf and beachfront living. Civil and family cases from Myrtle Beach are heard through the Horry County court system, and the mix of year-round residents and seasonal visitors gives local firms a wide range of everyday and vacation-related matters to handle.

Legal issues people in Myrtle Beach bring to lawyers

Personal injury and car accident lawyers handle claims from the area's heavy tourist traffic along Highway 17 and the Grand Strand. Real estate attorneys assist with beachfront condo purchases, rentals and closings, since South Carolina generally requires a lawyer to supervise residential closings. Family and divorce lawyers work through custody, support and property division for local families. Criminal defense and DUI lawyers represent clients in Horry County's courts. Workers' compensation lawyers assist employees injured on the job in the area's hospitality and service industries. Estate planning attorneys help residents and part-time homeowners prepare wills and trusts. Business lawyers support the area's tourism, restaurant and entertainment operators with contracts and disputes.

Choosing a law firm in Myrtle Beach

Confirm the lawyer is licensed and a member in good standing of the South Carolina Bar before hiring — its online directory is the place to check. Ask about their specific experience with cases like yours and how often they appear in Horry County courts, since a firm that mostly handles vacation-property closings may not be the right fit for a criminal matter. Ask who at the firm will actually handle your file and how you will reach them as the case moves forward. Get the fee arrangement in writing, whether it's a contingency fee, hourly rate or flat fee, before any work begins.

Free and low-cost help
