Criminal Defense In North Myrtle Beach

Facing criminal charges can bring uncertainty, disruption, and consequences that extend well beyond the courtroom. The decisions made along the way matter, and so does the lawyer entrusted to guide you through them. The Bagnal Law Firm represents individuals facing serious criminal charges in North Myrtle Beach, Little River, Myrtle Beach, Aynor, Conway and the surrounding areas of the Grand Strand.

Founded by Dylan Bagnal, a former Senior Assistant Solicitor, the Firm brings firsthand prosecutorial experience to the defense of those accused of crimes. This background provides valuable insight into Government investigations, case development, and presentation—and the scrutiny the Government's evidence must withstand.

Principles of Practice:

  1. I

    Treat clients like people, not a case number.

    Bagnal Law Firm intentionally maintains a selective caseload allowing the Firm to take an individualized approach to representation and craft a defense tailored to the best interests of our clients.

  2. II

    Prepare with an eye towards litigation.

    From the outset of representation, The Firm examines the evidence, evaluates the prosecution's theories, and prepares to challenge the State's case in court. A case may ultimately be resolved through negotiation, but comprehensive preparation helps ensure that settlement is a strategic decision, not simply the path of least resistance.

  3. III

    Hold the Government to its burden.

    The Government bears the burden of proving its case. Careful scrutiny of the evidence, investigative methods, and potential Constitutional violations may reveal weaknesses that are not apparent at first glance. What appears to be a strong case for the Government may look very different after experienced legal and factual analysis.

  4. IV

    Advocate effectively.

    A client's interests deserve to be presented with precision, purpose and presence. Whether negotiating with opposing counsel or presenting before a jury, the Bagnal Law Firm does not take that responsibility lightly. Dylan Bagnal's experience trying murder and narcotics trafficking cases informs his approach to high-stakes litigation and the effective presentation of each client's position.
