Criminal Defense Law

The Nicholson Law Firm's criminal defense team is led by John McCauley who brings over 24-years of experience litigating criminal cases. McCauley's criminal law experience includes having served four years as an assistant solicitor with South Carolina's 11th Judicial Circuit's Solicitor's Office. Subsequently, McCauley has spent 20-years as a criminal defense attorney.

McCauley's experience as a criminal defense attorney is extensive and varied. He has litigated several death penalty cases, as well as having defended clients on a variety of other charges including DUI and other motor vehicle related charges. McCauley is a founding member of the South Carolina Criminal Defense Attorneys Association, and he served two terms on the Board of Governors of that association.

The Nicholson Law Firm believes that intervention by a defense attorney early in a client's case is highly advantageous and beneficial. Early intervention can often lead to a client avoiding being arrested or could result in a quick resolution of all outstanding charges. At a minimum, early intervention allows our experienced attorneys to assist and guide clients through the judicial process from the very beginning of a client's case.

Experience and zealous representation are the hallmarks of the Nicholson Law Firm's criminal defense team.
