Practice Areas
Confident And Assertive Defense For DUI And Traffic Violations
I am David Rigney, an attorney committed to addressing my clients’ needs and concerns. Based in Myrtle Beach, I offer skilled legal representation throughout the state of South Carolina for criminal defense, focusing on identifying procedural errors or rights violations. I personally meet with clients and frequently visit detention centers to discuss their cases.
With over 35 years of criminal defense experience, I represent clients in DUI cases, traffic violations, homicide and violent crimes. I practice in courthouses throughout South Carolina, including Horry, Georgetown, Marion and Florence counties. I can identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case to negotiate reduced charges or secure a case dismissal.
Additionally, I guide clients on preventing driver’s license suspension and minimizing the impact of charges. I also represent them in administrative hearings concerning license suspensions.
A Personalized, Client-Centered Approach For Your Family Court Matters, Civil Litigation Issues And Real Estate Closings
For over three decades, I have assisted clients with their most delicate financial and emotional matters, including real estate transactions, family law concerns, immigration issues and civil litigation.
At Rigney Law Firm, I provide strategic legal guidance to ensure the smooth completion of real estate deals, involving the review of purchase agreements and titles, advice on financing options and successful transaction finalization.
My legal team is skilled in handling sensitive legal matters, including divorces and family law cases. I assist clients in starting or responding to divorce petitions, negotiating mediation agreements, navigating child custody issues and consistently protecting their interests.
In civil litigation, I manage responses to complaints, oversee discovery processes and submit motions. Throughout the legal proceedings, I concentrate on safeguarding my clients’ rights.
A Lawyer Offering Professional And Direct Representation For Violent Crimes
My strategy centers on collaborating with prosecutors to achieve positive outcomes for my clients. In violent crimes, such as murder and sexual offenses, maintaining open, effective communication with the prosecution is key. My approach safeguards my clients’ rights and paves the way for favorable resolutions without the stress of a trial. Negotiating out-of-court settlements is a critical skill I possess as a defense attorney. I’ve found that many prosecutors are open to reducing or dismissing charges if offered reasonable, well-supported alternatives.
In sexual offense cases, I understand the sensitivity and complexity involved. I aim to protect my clients’ dignity while building a robust, ethical defense. By thoroughly analyzing evidence and maintaining dialogue with the prosecution, I strive to reduce charges and often avoid going to trial.
