Attorney Profile

I am attorney Baxter Harwell. I have nearly fifteen years of experience offering responsive client service and attention to the details that will help you get the best possible resolution to your criminal defense, DUI/DWI charge, serious personal injury claim, or real estate transaction. Harwell Law Firm is ready to help you get the legal result you are counting on.

It is a well known fact that no other DUI defense attorney within one hundred miles of Myrtle Beach has acquired the DUI prosecution training and DUI trial experience that attorney Baxter Harwell has acquired while serving as a Special Statewide DUI Prosecutor for the South Carolina Department of Public Safety. His extensive training in basic law enforcement procedure, traffic stop investigation techniques, attendance and participation in instruction in Advanced DUI Detection Seminars offered at the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy along with attending and completing the Datamaster Breath Test Machine Operators Course (the only approved South Carolina breath testing device) in addition to attending and successfully completing DUI Defense strategies seminars taught at the National College for DUI Defense at Harvard University have uniquely prepared him to effectively and successfully argue for the exclusion of critically important evidence through his critical assessment of any evidence that a DUI/DWI prosecutor will attempt to use against any person charged with DUI/DWI. For these reasons, he is the preferred attorney that many clients and other attorneys continue to rely on to prepare the most thorough and complete defense despite the arresting officer's subjective opinions and beliefs.

Attorney Baxter Harwell knows DUI Law in South Carolina backwards and forwards and you can bet that if you need help finding that proverbial "needle in a hay stack" in order to secure a positive result, then he will find it and probably many more.

Mr. Harwell understands the fact that law enforcement officers have a tough job to do - It is the police offices responsibility to arrest someone on the roadside that present a danger to themselves and others. No one should fault them for doing their job. While it only takes probable cause to place someone under arrest for committing a crime. Baxter Harwell knows and understands there is a critical difference between probable cause for an arrest and sufficient evidence to support a conviction for DUI/DWI.

When Baxter Harwell is not working hard to protect the interests of his clients, you can usually find him in a duck blind, deer stand, watching a baseball game, or flying.
