Ironside Criminal Defense is run by two lawyers who spent years on the other side of the courtroom. Sloan Ellis and Brandi Hinton were both state and federal prosecutors, and each received the U.S. Attorney's Award for Excellence in Prosecution. Ellis handled white-collar, drug, and violent crime cases alongside agencies like the FBI and DEA, while Hinton's caseload included large-scale drug trafficking. They manage every case together, with associate Anthony McCollum, a former Assistant Solicitor in the Thirteenth Circuit.
The Greenville-based firm takes DUI, drug, weapons, assault, white-collar, juvenile, and federal charges, along with bond hearings and expungements, for clients across the Upstate and statewide. Most of its reviews were left under its earlier name, Ellis Hinton, LLC, and they keep coming back to quick callbacks, steady updates, and straight answers even when the news was hard.
