PRACTICE AREAS
Criminal Defense
In today's streaming world, our concept of the criminal justice system is often influenced by shows like Law and Order or CSI. Unfortunately, life is often a far cry from what we see on the screen.
After a ticket or an arrest, you will likely have a lot of questions about court dates, plea deals, convictions, expungements and everything in between. "How might this potentially affect my job? my family?"
At the Cornely Law Firm we specialize in all criminal offenses no matter how big or how small they might seem. We understand the anxiety that comes with a criminal charge, and we will be there with you every step of the way.

In South Carolina a person is injured in an automobile collision every nine minutes, but car accidents are not the only way you can be injured by the negligence of another person or business. When you need to be focusing on your recovery the last thing you should have to deal with is insurance companies, medical bills and losing time and money from work. The Cornely Law Firm has over 36 years of experience handling insurance claims and civil litigation.
Worker's Compensation
When you're injured on the job you expect your employer to lookout for your best interest, right? Not so fast. While your boss might be a great person, it's the insurance company that will be footing the bill, coordinating with your nurse case manager and determining which doctors you see and when. Too often we see situations where an injured worker didn't think they needed an attorney until 12 months after their injury when they have been cut off from treatment and are still waiting on those checks for lost wages. Don't let that be you, give us a call today.
Juvenile Cases
As we all know, kids don't always make the best decisions. While mistakes are a part of life, the last thing we want is for one poor decision to negatively impact a child for the rest of their lives. Youth incarceration is linked to higher rates of dropping out of school and reentry into the criminal justice system later in life. In South Carolina a "juvenile" is a person under the age of 18, and those youthful offenders are tried in family court. However, there are certain felonies where a person under 18 can be charged as an adult in circuit court. The Cornely Law Firm is prepared to help you navigate either situation and get your child back on the right path.
