My case was a scary experience for myself and my family. Without going into details of it, Stephen Grooms assured me from the beginning that he would do everything in his power to help me. Over the course of a year, he kept us updated on proceedings and did his best keep us in an optimistic mindset. The firm really treated us like family, I highly recommend him. Most importantly, he gets the job done.

Mr Groome provided excellent advice and counsel during our insurance company’s investigation of our vandalism case. His professional support during the examination was invaluable. He spent the time to insure our testimony was clear and accurate.

I hired Mr. Grooms for a misdemeanor criminal matter and was very satisfied with his representation. He had the matter handled with a favorable result for me within ninety days. Although it was a small charge, it was a big deal to me. I am confident he could handle any matter in any court and would happily recommend him to people who are in need of an attorney in the Myrtle Beach area.

Literally one phone call resolved my issues. I have never worked with an attorney who takes care of an issue and follows up so intently. Had two cases. Both of them for my daughters. One speeding and one failure to stop. One complete dismissal. One lowered and follow for dismissal. I keep him on speed dial.
