Effingham County Attorneys
Springfield, Rincon, Guyton, and the farmland in between make up a county that's grown fast without losing its small-town character. Longtime Effingham County families now share the roads with newcomers drawn by the county's growth along the I-95 corridor, and both deserve legal help from a firm that actually understands the community it serves.
Johnson Kraeuter & Sanders LLC has represented Effingham County residents for decades, bringing extensive legal experience and skill to family law, personal injury, and criminal defense cases throughout the county.

Protecting Families Across Effingham County
Divorce and custody disputes look different in a county where families often juggle long commutes to Savannah with deep ties to smaller communities like Guyton and Rincon. However, no matter where you live, family law matters are stressful, complicated, and carry emotional weight.
Resolving any legal issue can be difficult. Our firm offers the services of three trained mediators, which means cases can be resolved without ever stepping into a courtroom. Mediation spares you from extra expense, time, and conflict.
We are also fully prepared to litigate when that's what your case requires. Either way, our goal stays the same: protecting your children, your finances, and your peace of mind.
Defending Effingham County Residents Against Criminal Charges
Criminal charges in Effingham County move through the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit, and knowing how that circuit operates matters as much as knowing the law itself.
Attorney Frank Pennington spent years as a prosecutor before joining our defense team. His prosecutorial background gives our clients real insight into how the state builds, and sometimes overbuilds, its cases.
Whether misdemeanor, felony, or federal, we prepare every defense with the same insider perspective. We serve clients who are under investigation as well as those who have been arrested and formally charged.
