About Nick
Originally from Alexandria, Virginia, Attorney Nick Thomas has called South Carolina home since 1995. Prior to opening his own practice, Nick was the lead attorney for the Charleston office of Coastal Law, LLC. He previously served as the Judicial Law Clerk to the Hon. Edgar W. Dickson in the First Judicial Circuit where he conducted research for all stages of litigation coming before the court, composed court orders, and advised the judge on trial, pre-trial, bail bond, discovery and evidentiary motions. Additionally, he served as an Adjunct Professor in the Paralegal Studies Department at Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College where he was an instructor in Criminal Law, Torts, Law & Ethics and Property.
Today, Nick concentrates his practice on criminal law and personal injuries. He has tried cases before juries in both circuit and magistrate courts. Nick takes pride in providing his clients with prompt attention, around-the-clock access and tenacious representation.
Attorney Nick Thomas has defended a wide variety of criminal charges, including:
DUI/Driving Under the Influence
It is crucial that you hire an attorney who has thorough knowledge of the South Carolina DUI laws, the DataMaster breathalyzer, and law enforcement procedure. A DUI conviction can cost you thousands of dollars in insurance premiums, restrict your international travel, and become part of your permanent record. Under the new South Carolina DUI laws, you may be forced to have an Ignition Interlock Device installed in your vehicle at your own expense. The potential costs of a DUI conviction make it all the more important to hire a quality DUI attorney as soon as possible. Attorney Nick Thomas has attended many DUI seminars and learned the proper law enforcement procedures required by officers before, during, and after a DUI arrest. Don’t assume you are guilty or innocent on what an arresting officer may have told you. Every DUI case is different and it is imperative that you promptly hire an attorney who can break down the evidence thoroughly.
Driving Under Suspension
Failure to Stop for Blue Lights
Leaving the Scene of an Accident with Great Bodily Injury
Speeding / Reckless Driving / Traffic Violations
Drug Crimes
South Carolina law categorizes over 125 different drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and a wide variety of prescription medications. In addition to a jail sentence, penalties can include large fines, seizure of your home, property, vehicles, and cash.􀀃If it is your second drug offense in South Carolina, you may be subject to a penalty enhancement even if the drugs are totally different from your first offense. If your arrest involves a search and seizure on your person, in a car, in your home or elsewhere, the Fourth Amendment may have safeguards that could suppress evidence that was seized unlawfully. Attorney Nick Thomas has defended clients for nearly every drug offense in South Carolina, including arrests for: Drug Possession, Drug Distribution & Drug Trafficking.
Criminal Domestic Violence / CDV-HAN:
Major Felonies, Misdemeanors and Traffic Tickets
Weapons / Firearm Possession
Assault and Battery / ABHAN / Assault by Mob
