Randolph “Randy” Hough has seen countless cases where a dispute in the home has led to jail time and a permanent criminal record over simple accusations of violence. These state laws leave little flexibility for law enforcement; in many case, the heat of an argument causes one spouse to request the police without realizing that the call will automatically result in an arrest. At that point, prosecutors do not even require a cooperative witness to proceed with charges.
As with all criminal cases, our chief goal at the Law Office of A. Randolph Hough is the protection of your legal rights and the thorough defense of your case to ensure that any result is based solely on the facts and the law. Randolph Hough is an experienced South Carolina trial attorney skilled at the negotiation and litigation of criminal domestic violence charges. Although people charged with CDV may be eligible for Pretrial Intervention (PTI) under South Carolina law, many local PTI offices as a matter of policy will not allow anyone charged with CDV to apply for PTI. While our aggressive defense tactics and thorough investigation will often result in a negotiated settlement, we are never intimidated by prosecution and will not hesitate to appear before a jury if it is the only way to secure justice for our client. less
