Anthony McCollum | Greenville Criminal Defense Lawyer

Anthony McCollum has spent nearly eight years prosecuting criminal cases for the Thirteenth Circuit Solicitor's Office. As an Assistant Solicitor there, he handled thousands of cases, ranging from property crimes to white collar crimes, taking several of them to verdict.

His career inside the solicitor's office started in 2012. Shortly after graduating from The Citadel, he joined the Fifth Circuit Solicitor's Office in Columbia, first as an intern and then as a law clerk, where he worked while attending law school at the University of South Carolina. By the time he was licensed to practice, he had already spent more than five years watching the state build criminal cases and learning how things were run behind the scenes. He moved to the Upstate in 2018 and, after a short period in private practice in Greenville, joined the Thirteenth Circuit in January 2019.

Anthony comes to Ironside Criminal Defense having seen firsthand how the government and the judicial system operate. He knows the prosecutors, the investigators, and the officers who work the other side of a file, and he knows exactly how a case looks to the person deciding what to do with it. What he cares about most is what comes next for the client: understanding the charge, understanding the options, and having someone to speak for them while they work through it.
