Criminal Defense

We are a firm dedicated to protecting the rights of the accused. As a former prosecutor, I understand how the system works and how to obtain the best possible outcome for my clients.

I am a former prosecutor for the 5th Judicial Circuit of South Carolina. I have been helping those accused of a crime in South Carolina since 2008. I am familiar with the legal system and will walk you through it step by step from the bond setting to the resolution of the entire case. It is my job to protect your rights when you are accused of a crime. Whether it's a drug related offense or a DUI, you'll need an experienced attorney on your side. Call me to set up a FREE consultation if you, a member of your family, or a friend has been charged with a crime in the State of South Carolina.

DUI and DWI

A DUI or DWI is no laughing matter. I have been defending people accused of DUI's since 2008. Our team of attorneys will guide you through the legal process and answer your questions. We strive to obtain the best possible outcome for your case.

A drunk driving charge or conviction is a serious offense. If your blood alcohol content (BAC) level exceeds a certain amount or you are a repeat offender, you can face severe penalties. The laws in South Carolina have become more rigorous involving:

Higher fines
Jail sentences
Suspension of licenses

Even more serious are felony DUI offenses. Not only can you lose your license to drive, but it can impair your ability to gain future employment. Furthermore, the fines involved with a DUI offense can be overwhelmingly expensive, and your insurance rates can skyrocket. It is best to consult with an experienced lawyer to discuss your options.

Court and possible jail time
Criminal charge or conviction on your record
Revocation of your driver's license
Suspension of your driving privileges
Expensive costs, fines and expenses
Increase in your insurance premiums
Lose your job
Make your ability to apply for a job more difficult
Participate or enroll in treatment programs
Embarrassment for you, your friends and your loved ones
Additional criminal charges

The Li Law Firm, aims to be actively involved with every step of your case. Attorney Victor Li and his associates will investigate the facts of your case to make sure none of your defenses are overlooked. He will:

Analyze your case
Give you honest legal advice
Provide aggressive advocacy and representation
Make sure no possible defense is overlooked
Inform you about technicalities surrounding your case
Help you make it through your difficult time

How did your firm decide on the primary area of practice(s)?

Our firm focuses on Personal Injury, Criminal Defense and Family Law.

What experience or education distinguishes your lawyers from others?

I am a graduate of the National Criminal Defense College as well as the Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College.

I am also a former prosecutor who is familiar with the other side of Criminal Defense and can use that knowledge and experience to better serve my clients.

What distinguishes your law firm from others?

We are a small two person firm that focuses on helping people. We are never on the sides of big insurance companies or the government.

Victor Li

Columbia Criminal Lawyer with Strong Ties to South Carolina

Victor Li is a native of the Pee Dee. He grew up in Cheraw, South Carolina and he attended Cheraw High School until his sophomore year when he was accepted to the South Carolina Governor's School for Science and Mathematics. Victor is an avid gamer and enjoys competing in Scrabble, Poker and Chess.

I believe that honesty and transparency are the best ways to build a strong attorney-client relationship. When you hire me, I'll give you my personal cell phone number so you can easily reach me whenever you need to.
Victor graduated from Clemson University in 1999 with a B.S. in Chemistry and from there attended the University of South Carolina School of Law. After graduating from law school in 2003, Victor postponed taking the bar in pursuit of opening Northstar Learning Center, a tutoring center focused on helping underprivileged children in the Midlands.

Former Richland County Prosecutor Turned Criminal Defense Attorney

In 2008, Victor began his legal career in the Fifth Judicial Circuit working as a prosecutor for then Solicitor Barney Giese. He quickly realized that his passion was defending and helping the people in his community. Since 2009, Victor has been protecting and defending the constitutional rights of those who are accused of drug charges, DUI, and other violent crimes.

Experienced Criminal Lawyer in Columbia, South Carolina

In 2014, Victor was instrumental in reforming the City of Columbia Police Department's drug lab. He effectively challenged the drug analysis of the department's drug chemist by showing that the reported drug weight was grossly exaggerated. Because of his work, not only was his client protected from false prosecution, but so were hundreds of other defendants who would have been victims of shoddy police work.

From 2017 to 2019, Victor served as the Vice-Chairman of the State Ethics Commission.
