Proven Criminal Defense Attorneys

Criminal charges can drastically affect an individual’s future. If you are convicted of a crime, it can affect your ability to vote, get a job and live in a certain area. A strong defense is essential in fighting these charges to achieve the best possible outcome. There is simply too much at stake not to contact an attorney with experience in criminal defense.

With office Summerville, the law firm of Cook & Connelly, LLC will stand up for your interests and protect your rights. Our firm was established in 1959 by attorneys Bobby Lee Cook and the late A. Cecil Palmour. Now led by Cook’s grandson Sutton Connelly, our current generation continues to provide clients with the same highly individualized attention, aggressive advocacy and experienced services.
