    Kirk gets the job done
    Never needed an attorney before but got into a situation where I needed one, so Kirk came highly recommended. So I called and spoke to Angela, who was very polite and professional. She put Kirk on the phone, I explained everything to him, and he quoted me a very good price. He's not like most law firms that have one price. He bases it on the situation, so we set up a free consultation. He is very pleasant and professional. He lets you ask as many questions as you need. He doesn't rush you, and he did exactly what he said he was gonna do with my case! He was spot on, and he tells you you can call and ask to speak to him anytime, and unless he is in court he will pick up. If not, he gets back to you that day or the next. I could go on and on about how good he is, but in closing, you need a great no-nonsense attorney who gets the job done, then Kirk is your man. Trust me! Thanks, Kirk and Angela.
    Peter Fiore
    Excellent Service
    Excellent service. On the initial call, he responded with compassion and helped calm my fried nerves. I felt comfortable leaving him to handle my case and am happy with the results.

    Highly Recommend for Legal Counsel
    I'm from out of town and had a bad experience with a hotel and a police officer in Surfside Beach. I was arrested for trespass and spent almost 24 hours in the Horry County Detention Center. Once arriving back home, I was fortunate enough to select Kirk Truslow from a Google search, and it turned out to be the right choice. He handled my case and was able to get the charge dropped, and I didn't have to make the 4-hour trip back down. I would highly recommend him for legal counsel. Doug Wyrick

    My case was dismissed
    For the first time in my life, I was in need of a lawyer. Kirk Truslow was strongly recommended, and I am so thankful. I immediately felt more relaxed and hopeful after our meeting. I can’t tell you how important his kind and knowledgeable demeanor was, and is. Not only was my case dismissed, my record was expunged. He is #1 in my book. I am extremely content knowing he is there for me if I am ever in need. Kirk Truslow will be the one I call.
    Diane Councilman
    Miracle Worker in the Courtroom
    More recently I needed Kirk for a DUI & about 5 more traffic violations that came along with it. Without question, I came back as a returning client because of how well Kirk handled my case previously. Instantly I felt comfortable because he was able to explain things in a way I could understand. He is extremely knowledgeable in this field & helped me navigate through this very difficult time. I trust his extensive experience in litigation by listening to his advice, which easily brought my case to a close. He was able to get the absolute best possible outcome! I couldn’t be happier with what Kirk was able to do for my case. Honestly, he is a miracle worker in the courtroom. I never leave reviews on Google, but Kirk is one of a kind. There is no way I would enter a courtroom without him as my attorney no matter what I was facing. Thank you for all you do Kirk!

    Kirk is an amazing attorney.
    Kirk is an amazing attorney. Over the past ten years I have used his services a couple of times and always had a favorable resolution. Kirk and his staff keep you informed on the process. They make it as painless as it can be. I highly recommend his services.
    Josh Powell
    Kirk got my charge dismissed
    Kirk is a great lawyer. He was very informative about the process of my case. It’s very helpful for someone that has no clue about laws. I was charged with a crime that was false. I met with a couple of lawyers before Kirk and they were all telling me it would cost $25,000 to get the case done. Kirk looked at all the evidence and did it for a lot less. He got the prosecutor to look at the evidence and see that the cops messed up and charged the wrong person. The prosecutor then dismissed the charge.
    Jason Leper
    Professionalism and Expertise!
    We had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kirk and his assistant Angela at T. Kirk Truslow, P.A., and I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism and expertise! Mr. Kirk and Angela went above and beyond in helping my dad dismiss a challenging case. Their attention to detail, dedication, and unwavering support were instrumental in achieving a positive outcome. From our initial consultation to the resolution of the case, they provided clear guidance and handled every aspect with precision. I am grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation. Thank you, Mr. Kirk, Angela, and the entire team for your outstanding support and professionalism. - Gustavo

    Help was exceptional!
    We worked with Attorney Kirk at T. Kirk Truslow, P.A. in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and their help was exceptional! They overcame language barriers to help my husband close a complex case. Their attention to detail and dedication were key to the positive result. I recommend his services to anyone who needs legal representation and to the entire Latino community of Myrtle Beach. Thanks to the team for their professionalism!
    Carmen Moradel
    I will definitely be contacting his firm.
    I found myself in an unlikely situation and was unsure what would happen. I am from New York, so I am unfamiliar with the laws here in South Carolina. My daughter got me in touch with Mr. Truslow, and I can’t thank him enough for what he has been able to do for me. His staff was extremely attentive, patient, and kind, and made me feel at ease with my case. He put my mind at ease every step of the way. For any future matters, which I hope to never find myself in again, I will definitely be contacting his firm. I will be recommending him to all family and friends who are in need of any legal services. I could not recommend Mr. Truslow more for all the work he put into my case!
    Deborah Simonson

    Absolutely great service
    Yes, I'm giving them a definite 5-star rating. They were absolutely great, very efficient in working my case and in a very short time, I might add, and also very polite whenever I have called their office to discuss anything pertaining to my case. So I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs legal help.

    Highly recommend!
    He was very knowledgeable, quick to respond, even took care of legal matters on the weekend. He cared about us and making sure we were informed every step of the way. His staff was great to work with as well. Due to the circumstances that we needed him for a 16-year-old, I was so unsure what to do, but they all made us confident in their abilities. Highly recommend!

    Great Lawyer! Case Dismissed
    Great Lawyer! Kirk was able to get my case dismissed, which I was innocent of, without having to step foot in a courtroom! I prayed to the Lord that I don’t have to set foot in a courtroom and he used Kirk to make sure I got the results I deserve. I would recommend this law firm over anyone else in Horry County! His paralegals were very helpful whenever I called to ask questions as well!

    Kirk was the only one to back up his words
    Kirk Truslow and Staff were amazing. I’ve had to deal with several attorneys this past year and Kirk was the only one to back up his words with results. I met with Kirk; he was very attentive. He took the time to listen to all of my concerns and completely understand my situation. He explained his path and intent to resolve my issues. The results were exactly as he explained and expected. After dealing with five attorneys, he was the only one that I felt was truly sympathetic to my situation and wasn’t just concerned about money. When researching attorneys, I was pleasantly surprised to discover he was also board-certified. His years of experience in practicing law seem to have also allowed him a network and relationships with law enforcement and the court system that respect his opinion and deem his input credible. He seems to have a very good b*******t meter. He seems to take his clients' concerns almost personally. He makes you feel he has a genuine concern and has no patience for false accusations and nonsense. I would absolutely recommend his services and expertise to anyone in need of expert criminal legal representation. I don’t know if it’s his practice, but I also would recommend him for at least consultation in Family Court matters.

    Kirk is a class act
    When you are mistreated by a hotel security guard and given a ticket and a court date, Kirk and his amazing team are the ones to make sense of it all. Not only are they responsive and well-versed in many areas, they are affordable and provide sound advice and a well-laid-out course of action. Kirk has a wonderful way of putting you at ease and getting things done. He is a class act and highly skilled professional. Thanks for the great work and representation.
    Bryce Hickman
    Trust Kirk Trustlow Completely
    I trust Kirk Trustlow and don't look back or trust anyone else out there to have my back and to be as thorough and professional and doing what he needs to do and being the most efficient lawyer but not running any games as far as what it might take in order for him to do his job and I enjoy the collaboration with the facts of the matter that in this case are on my side and applying them, the facts in which I've disposed to Kirk on the charges, and allow him to do his due diligence and confirming certain facts, certain pertinent facts of the matter that are major factors and variables, and depending on how the case will turn out. But I have been totally satisfied up to this point with Kirk's professionalism and pure dedication to helping his clients to the best of his ability. Thank you for your hard work, Kirk.

    Criminal Law Explained
    • Can I appeal a federal criminal conviction?
      Yes, you can appeal a federal criminal conviction if you believe there was a legal error that affected the outcome of your trial. The appeal must be filed within a specific timeframe and focuses on legal and procedural issues rather than re-evaluating evidence. An attorney experienced in federal appeals can guide you through this process.
    • Is a plea bargain possible in federal cases?
      Plea bargains are possible in federal cases and can be an effective way to resolve a case without a trial. In a plea bargain, you may agree to plead guilty to lesser charges or receive a reduced sentence. Federal prosecutors may offer plea bargains if it serves the interests of justice and the parties involved. A defense attorney can help negotiate favorable terms.
    • Can federal charges be dismissed?
      Yes, federal charges can be dismissed, though the process is complex. Dismissal may occur due to lack of evidence, procedural errors, or violations of rights. An experienced federal criminal defense attorney can review the facts of the case and determine if there are grounds for dismissal or other favorable outcomes.
    • Who investigates federal crimes?
      Federal crimes are investigated by federal agencies. These include organizations such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). These agencies have the resources to conduct extensive national and international investigations.
