Joseph St.Pierre
A Criminal Defense Attorney Who Protects Your Rights - and Your Future.
A criminal conviction can have a devastating impact on your life. As your criminal defense attorney, I’ll take the time to understand your unique situation and aggressively defend your rights to prevent a conviction or minimize its impact on your future.
My professional background has been centered around criminal law. After graduating from College of Charleston and Barry University’s School of Law, I served as a prosecutor in the Laurens County Solicitor’s Office for over two years. While there, I prosecuted a wide range of criminal cases and worked closely with fellow attorneys, judges, police officers and other key individuals in the Upstate’s criminal justice system. In other words, I know what we’re up against and can use this knowledge to craft a smart, solid defense strategy for you or your loved one.
Today, I serve as a criminal defense attorney in Laurens and Newberry Counties, as well as other areas of the Upstate.
