Because Mr. Bodman does not like to reveal the names of his clients, and because many of his clients would like their names to remain confidential, Mr. Bodman will not share his clients' names here. However, Mr. Bodman has achieved substantial success for countless criminal clients through more than a decade in private practice by negotiating no charges being field at all prior to a decision to charge has taken place, by advocating for admission to Pre-Trial Diversion programs so clients could avoid a criminal conviction, by obtaining dismissals through pre-trial or trial motions before magistrates, municipal judges and other judges, by convincing prosecutors that dismissal or reduction of charges are appropriate based on the facts and law of the case, and by trying cases to not guilty verdicts before judges and juries in South Carolina.

Some of Mr. Bodman's best work comes when he is able to get involved in a case at the very earliest stages while someone is being investigating for a possible crime. An outcome without any charge at all is the best way to help someone avoid the crisis in someone's life that charges could bring. If someone is charged, Mr. Bodman digs into his cases right away. Because he takes a limited number of cases, he is able to devote all of his time and talent to his select clients. Mr. Bodman sometimes works with investigators and experts to best defend your case.

Negotiations prior to trial can next pave the way to minimize the damages in the event that a trial is not in the client's best interests.
