Chris Beddow is a new Criminal Justice Associate Attorney with Powers Law Firm PA. As a licensed member of both the North Carolina State Bar and South Carolina State Bar, Mr. Beddow is eager to represent clients who are facing allegations of either misdemeanor or felony criminal charges throughout the Carolinas.
"The ability to help people on a daily basis and make a real, tangible difference as a criminal defense lawyer in their lives is what drives me every day. The fact that I am afforded the opportunity to assist people throughout the Carolinas, a place that I call home, makes it more special. I am proud to be an advocate on behalf of clients in the Carolinas." - Chris Beddow
Mr. Beddow is available for legal representation for criminal charges including DUI South Carolina, DWI North Carolina, larceny, shoplifting, drug charges, possession of paraphernalia, assault, assault and battery, and domestic violence charges in Rock Hill, SC and York County, as well as serving as a criminal defense lawyer Charlotte NC.
Mr. Beddow is a graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and the University of South Carolina School of Law. At USC Law, Mr. Beddow was the Senior Articles Editor for the ABA Real Property, Trust & Estate Law Journal. During his time in law school, Mr. Beddow also served as an intern for the Honorable Paul Martin Newby of the North Carolina Supreme Court and clerked for the South Carolina litigation firms of Richard Harpootlian, P.A., and Rogers, Townsend & Thomas, PC.

I have been able to utilize my acting experience to be an effective advocate on behalf of clients." - Chris Beddow
