If you are facing serious, life-altering criminal charges, who do you want standing next to you in court?  How about a former prosecutor who use to bring those charges.  That lawyer is J.D. Maines.

Born in Savannah, J.D. graduated from Clemson University (cum laude) in 2004 with a degree in Economics and Accounting. He went on to receive a Juris Doctorate from the University of South Carolina School Of Law (top 1/3 of class) in 2007.

An experienced and highly successful trial lawyer, J.D. has been a prosecutor in both South Carolina and Georgia. First, he served as an Assistant Solicitor in SC’s 16th Judicial District.  He then was an Assistant District Attorney for Chatham County, Georgia.

While serving in these highly prestigious positions, J.D. was one of two special attorneys assigned to work only the most serious drugs cases, asset forfeitures, and wiretaps for the Chatham County Narcotics Team (CNT). In South Carolina, J.D. was selected as the senior felony drug prosecutor for the York County Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU).

Facing a DUI? J.D. was the former DUI prosecutor in the State Court of Chatham County, Georgia and a special DUI Assistant Solicitor in York County, South Carolina.

Why does this matter?  Experience. If you can build a criminal case, you know how to defend it.

JD recently successfully argued an appeal for his federal defendant client before the entire panel of Judges for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.  The issue pertained the the district court’s misapplication of the sentencing guidelines, which JD convinced the 11th Circuit with his persuasive oral argument.  Click here to see the PUBLISHED opinion: United States of America v. Timothy Jermaine Patehttps://media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/files/202010545.enb.pdf

JD also practices in the area of personal injury and mass tort litigation.  We are currently accepting several mass tort type cases which you can find on our website.

J.D. is admitted to practice law in Georgia and South Carolina and defends clients throughout the low country’s Coastal Empire.  J.D. is Of Counsel with The Nye Law Group, P.C.
