Weapons Charges

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Gun Crime Defense Attorney

Over the past fifteen years, the Grand Strand region has seen a significant increase in the number of criminal charges involving the illegal use of weapons and gun possessions. Often, visitors from out of state are charged because they don't understand that carrying any weapon in the open can result in a misdemeanor weapons charge. Being involved in any criminal offense with a weapon on your body can result in a felony weapons charge. ALSO, DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN GET A LIFE SENTENCE IF YOU HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF A FELONY AND YOU ARE CAUGHT WITH A FIREARM IN YOUR POSSESSION?

When pleading guilty is not an option

I am criminal defense attorney Baxter Harwell. For nearly fifteen years I have been protecting peoples' rights to gun ownership. I have been part of the Grand Strand community all of my life and I understand the laws and how case law involving gun crime has evolved over the years. I also know that prosecutors don't always care about your rights and the reasons you were carrying the weapon. Their job is to get a conviction. My job is to protect your rights as a citizen and help you get the best possible outcome for the charges against you.

If you have been charged with a gun crime or other weapons charge, let me help. I will work directly with you from the moment of your initial consultation until your case is fully resolved. You will always know how your case is progressing and how your decisions will affect the outcome of your case. Keeping you fully informed with experienced, knowledgeable advice is the most important job of a lawyer. At the Harwell Law Firm, I take that responsibility very seriously.

I provide effective defense representation for gun crimes and weapons charges such as:

Illegal possession of a firearm
Possession of a stolen gun
Assault with a deadly weapon
Concealed weapons charges
Possession of an illegal weapon
