South Carolina Federal Trial Court Law Firm
When charges have been filed or a lawsuit has been brought against you in federal court, it is important to seek advice from an experienced attorney. Federal rules and laws are complex, but an attorney familiar with the federal court system can help you protect your rights.
Representing Clients in Federal District Court
Actions in federal trial court can involve either civil matters or criminal matters. Civil actions such as personal injury litigation or business litigation are initiated when someone files a complaint. If you want to sue to protect your business or personal rights, a trial court attorney can help you determine whether your action should be taken in federal District Court or state Circuit Court.
If you have been served a summons and complaint — notifying you that someone is suing you in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina — immediately contact a litigation defense attorney; there are certain guidelines about how long you have to respond to a complaint.
If you have been accused of committing a crime and are facing federal criminal charges such as fraud, embezzlement, online solicitation, child pornography or a federal drug offense, you have the right to an attorney. The minute you suspect that you are being investigated by local police, the U.S. Attorney's Office or the FBI, call an attorney. An experienced federal criminal attorney will make sure that your rights are protected and that you do not mistakenly say anything to investigators.
