Family Law

We can help you with every aspect of family law, from divorce to child support and child custody. As husband and wife, we understand the myriad of issues that you are going through. We will put all of our legal skills together for you in order to get you through this difficult time.

Child Support

Our family law attorneys understand the complexities of the child support laws of South Carolina. We can help either custodial parents or non-custodial parents establish a fair amount of monthly child support.

Child Custody and Visitation

Child custody is truly the most emotionally charged issue of family law. Our office understands what you are going through and can effectively represent both your interests and those of your children when matters of custody and visitation have to be decided. Our office can assist your in setting up a visitation schedule during a divorce proceeding, post-divorce or any time you and the other parent cannot agree. Once you have established a court-ordered visitation schedule, we can help you ensure that the schedule is followed by your former partner.

Adoption

Adoption is a vital issue for families that are looking to adopt a child. Whether you are interested in step-parent adoption, the adoption of a family member, giving a permanent home to a foster child, or infant adoption, our office provides experienced legal services. We work to ensure that your adoption will go smoothly throughout every step of the process.

Criminal Defense

Criminal defense lawyer Bobby Kinard is an experienced litigator who has worked on both sides of the criminal justice system. He formerly served as both a judge and prosecutor and now puts his skills to work for you in the area of criminal defense. Our office defends clients accused of:

• Violent Crimes
• Drug Charges, including Possession, Sale, Distribution, and Manufacture
• Assault and Battery
• Rape and Sexual Assault
• Theft, Larceny, and Shoplifting
