Confidently representing clients in Conway and the Myrtle Beach area, with a primary focus in criminal law (felonies, misdemeanors, and traffic offenses) and family law.

I Provide A Personalized And
CLIENT-ORIENTED EXPERIENCE

My name is Melinda Knowles. I will work directly with you, taking the time to get to know you as a person and to learn about your special circumstances and the struggles that led you to seek legal counsel. As I listen to your story, I promise that I will never pass judgment but will always offer encouragement, understanding, and compassion.

I realize that facing a criminal charge is both challenging and stressful, and it requires that you have a lawyer who is not only knowledgeable in the law but also familiar with the legal system. I possess both of those qualities, which is why I am the right choice for your legal advocate. My job is to protect and defend YOUR rights, and this job is not one that I take lightly.

I Have The
EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE TO DEFEND YOU

For more than seven years, I have served as a public defender for Horry and Georgetown counties. I decided to open my private practice in 2013 to help the community with criminal and family law issues.

Being charged with a crime is not a matter to take lightly. As your attorney, I have extensive experience and knowledge to defend and protect your rights and future diligently.

Whether you are disputing a traffic violation, facing a DUI/DUAC charge or dealing with an attempted murder charge, I can help you. I will evaluate every detail of your case to help develop a solid strategic defense tailored to your specific legal needs and produce the best possible results.

Criminal law, traffic offenses and family law issues aren’t legal problems you want to take on alone. Trust that I will represent your best interests no matter what your legal battle is.

DEPENDABLE REPRESENTATION
You Can Count On

I started my legal career as a public defender and fought hard for the rights and freedoms of my clients. However, an overwhelmed system made it difficult to give clients the personalized attention they deserved. Consequently, in 2013, I started my private practice to fight even harder for my clients. Since then, I have built a reputation of strong wins and always putting my clients first.

Legal matters involving criminal law, traffic offenses, or family law should be addressed promptly. I have the experience, knowledge, and resources to guide you through the process and develop a strategic plan customized to meet your needs. Your best interests are my priority. Call the The Law Office Of Melinda Knowles, LLC at 843-488-0778 or send me a direct message, so you don’t have to struggle or stress about your legal problems anymore.

She?s been in the trenches, fighting for people?s rights, and it?s clear she’s bringing that same fight to her private practice since 2013.

Melinda was fast and efficient with the handling of a ticket received. I took an online course and she worked with the court system to have my citation dismissed. I couldn?t have expected a better outcome. Thanks!! Eric

Three things come to mind in conducting business with Melinda and her team: communication, accessibility, and ease of doing business. Additionally, they were friendly and professional which is just what you would expect for a local, small business. We really appreciate their ability to handle our needs and concerns quickly! Regardless of the size or extent of a legal matter, it’s nice to work with someone who can ease the anxiety associated and instill confidence in the process. Thanks again for all your help!

I called Melinda Knowles the first time (in full crisis mode), she was patient and understanding right away. I immediately knew our family’s welfare was in good hands. She constructed a great plan for us. She and her assistant have been very responsive to questions, follow through couldn’t have been better. And let me tell you she has been a dynamic advocate for our family! Thanks so much for all you do!
