Local Knowledge of the Florence Federal Court

Federal criminal cases in the Pee Dee are tried at the McMillan Federal Building in downtown Florence on West Evans Street. Nathan Williams has litigated federal trials - including death penalty cases - in this courthouse and worked alongside agents, judges, and prosecutors assigned to this district.

Because of his role as former Criminal Chief, Nathan understands how federal cases are prosecuted in Florence, what prosecutors are likely to pursue, and where opportunities exist to challenge their case.

This knowledge needs to be a primary factor in selecting an attorney. Individuals and businesses often consider or hire law firms located outside of South Carolina because they live out of the area and don’t know anyone in South Carolina, based on a recommendation, or because they did not look for an attorney in the area where the case is being prosecuted. However, attorneys who do not practice in the federal court where a charge is pending are often unfamiliar with local practices, expectations, and processes. As a result, those attorneys spend valuable time trying to learn the local practice and never reach the level of competence that skilled local lawyers possess. Consequently, they miss opportunities for their clients. Or worse, they apply an approach that may work somewhere else but doesn’t work in South Carolina, and their clients get disastrous results.

As former Criminal Chief for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Nathan directed, prosecuted and supervised major cases in Florence, giving him rare insight into how cases are built — and how to challenge them before they go to trial.
