Horry County Solicitor's Office

Horry County Solicitor's Office is a county government office in Conway, SC. It serves as the solicitor's office for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, which includes Horry and Georgetown Counties. The office prosecutes those who violate the law while working to preserve the rights of citizens, and it is staffed by assistant solicitors, investigators, victim advocates, and support personnel who work to ensure criminals are punished and victims' rights are protected.

The office also administers the Solicitor's Intervention Programs, established by SC state statute to encourage individuals to make a positive contribution to the community while offering participants a second chance and deterring future criminal behavior. These programs are offered as a diversion to ordinary prosecution, and entrance is not an admission of guilt or a plea. Pretrial Intervention allows a person charged with a crime to examine his or her conduct, pay something back to the community, and avoid a criminal record. The Alcohol Education Program targets underage drinking through education, requiring participants to complete twenty hours of community service, an eight-hour alcohol education class, and a four-hour life skills course. The Traffic Education Program aims to make highways safer through driver's education while giving participants the chance to have tickets dismissed. The Juvenile Arbitration Program provides fast-track accountability for first-time juvenile offenders charged with non-violent crimes, with trained volunteer arbitrators conducting hearings. The CHANGE Program targets first-time juvenile offenders, and the Juvenile Diversion Program places juveniles in services with monthly case manager meetings over three to six months. Upon successful completion of a diversion program, charges are dismissed with the option of expungement.

The office is located on 2nd Ave, a short distance from the Horry County Court House, the Horry County Government & Justice Center, and the Horry County Police Department Administration. Live Oaks park and the Veterans Memorial are also nearby.

The office holds a 5.00 rating from the customers who have reviewed it.
