Your Charleston Attorney Is Ready to Fight — Come Meet Merritt Farmer

Your Charleston Personal Injury and Criminal Defense Attorney, Serving the Tri-County Region From Our Mt. Pleasant Office

Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of a serious accident, a DUI charge, or another criminal matter, you're probably wondering what comes next — and whether anyone is truly in your corner. At The Farmer Law Firm, Charleston personal injury and criminal defense attorney Merritt Farmer is. When you walk through our door, you won't be handed off to a paralegal or lost in a pile of cases. You'll work directly with Merritt, from the first conversation to the final resolution.

Merritt built this firm with one purpose: to give the people of Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, and the broader Tri-County region access to serious, focused legal representation. He knows the local courts. He knows the judges. And he knows what it takes to prepare a case properly — not just for settlement, but for trial when that's what it takes to get you what you deserve.

What We Do at Our Charleston-Area Law Office

When you visit our Mt. Pleasant office, you'll find a team that takes your situation personally. Merritt listens first — to understand exactly what happened, what you're up against, and what a successful outcome looks like for you. He then gets to work, bringing more than a decade of legal experience to bear on your case.

• Criminal defense. Drug charges, assault charges, and other criminal matters deserve a defense lawyer who takes them as seriously as you do. A conviction can follow you for the rest of your life, affecting your employment, housing, and future opportunities. Merritt prepares every case with the same level of care and urgency, regardless of the charge.
• DUI defense. A DUI charge can upend your life — your license, your job, and your freedom are all on the line. Merritt understands South Carolina's DUI laws inside and out, and he works hard to challenge the evidence, protect your rights, and pursue the best possible outcome at every stage of the process.
• Personal injury claims. If someone else's negligence caused your injuries — whether in a car accident, truck crash, boating accident, slip and fall, or another harmful incident — Merritt will hold them accountable. He pursues the full value of your claim, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and he doesn't stop until you've been made as whole as possible.
