About

O'Neil Law Firm is a criminal defense, personal injury, and workers' compensation practice serving Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas of South Carolina. With over 23 years of experience, the firm has built a reputation for thorough representation and client-focused service across a broad range of legal matters.

The firm's criminal defense practice covers local and state criminal law, DUI defense, domestic violence, felony crimes, juvenile defense, drug charges, assault and battery, criminal sexual conduct, property crimes, and white-collar crimes. The attorneys understand that facing criminal charges raises urgent questions about potential penalties, freedom, and future consequences. O'Neil Law Firm approaches each case by working to build a proper defense, evaluating the circumstances carefully, and taking every legally and ethically available step to protect clients' rights and freedom.

Beyond criminal defense, O'Neil Law Firm handles personal injury claims for individuals injured in accidents or incidents caused by another party's negligence or wrongdoing. The firm assists clients in understanding their legal options, gathering evidence, and pursuing compensation for their losses. The firm also represents clients navigating workers' compensation claims, helping them understand their rights and avoiding the stress and complexity of the legal process alone.

The firm serves Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet, Surfside, Conway, and Horry County. Its attorneys have earned strong client reviews, with testimonials highlighting responsiveness, thoroughness, and genuine care for client outcomes. Clients have praised the team for explaining complex legal concepts in accessible language, maintaining prompt communication via phone, email, and text, and advocating aggressively for fair settlements and resolutions.

O'Neil Law Firm keeps its practice current with evolving South Carolina law. The firm provides guidance on recent legislation, including South Carolina's hands-free and distracted driving law effective September 1, 2025, and the 2024 DUI law mandating ignition interlock devices for certain convictions. The firm is also familiar with ordinance violations and municipal charges, which carry penalties equal to state-law offenses.

Clients should note that while attorneys' fees vary depending on the matter, clients may be responsible for costs in addition to attorney fees, and in percentage-based cases, fees are calculated before costs are deducted.
