Criminal Defense: Defending Locals, Tourists, Students and Juveniles
in Myrtle Beach
Clients including tourists from other states, college students and juveniles all benefit from our long experience with criminal defense along the Grand Strand, including traffic violation defense. Defense attorney William H. Monckton VI began his career as an assistant solicitor with the Fourth Circuit Solicitor's Office before returning home to Myrtle Beach to start his own practice in 1994. Fellow attorney Dean M. Mureddu spent five years with the Horry County Public Defender's Office, while attorney Francis A. Humphries Jr. spent 20 years as a prosecutor before joining the Monckton Law Firm.
