South Carolina Lawyer Referral

I was referred to the South Carolina Lawyer Referral Service for a FDCPA/FCRA billing matter that had already been reviewed by another attorney outside of the state, who saw merit in the case but was not licensed here. When I called the referral line, I was connected with an attorney who made it clear he only takes on what he called “BIG” cases. Because my case wasn’t valued at $100,000 or more, he said it wasn’t worth his time. At $500 an hour, he was “too good” to touch it. Why is it so difficult for an ordinary person to find a lawyer willing to listen and represent them, regardless of whether the issue is worth $20,000 or $100,000? Is it LESS illegal if the harm was only $10k? The system feels stacked against those without wealth or connections. People with money and influence don’t n

A waste of energy and effort to call this organization. They only take BIG cases. I was told I had a case but it wasn’t worth it to the attorney. He was very pushy for his $50. The call didn’t last 4 minutes. They shouldn’t charge if they don’t take the case. Why even call if you aren’t paralyzed for help!?

They refused talking to you, continued avoiding you and refused discussing with you on any matter and any case. They have no interest. They are wasting our time. They don’t make any efforts at all. I think they are looking for an easiest case and an easiest job. They are lazy. I’m not sure how they run the business like this, how they make money. I don’t even understand why they bother becoming a lawyer in the first place and continue wasting time and avoiding. Many of us like us clients, were trying to get help via lawyers like them for years yet they, lawyers, continued declining clients like us and other people. They are taking the advantage of our personal information via the phone, the text, the email. It’s not right. Clients, I’m sorry to tell you. You better go off without thi

I needed a local attorney to address a contractor fraud issue. This service provided me with 3 attorneys to contact. Two of the three responded to my message. I hired one of them. I highly recommend this organization for anyone needing legal representation.

The first time I attempted to call, I was on hold for 22 minutes and hung up. I tried again for a second time, and held for 12 minutes and hung up. I tried a third time, and held for 15 minutes and eventually hung up. I was put on hold for all three times. I then did the internet email site and received an instant reply to one attorney in Charleston. I did make contact with that attorney. Although, I did find out that you can only make one request per day by the internet/email request. I spent more time on hold, where I could have done my own search. Probably better to just Google to find an attorney verses using the the SC Bar Lawyer Referral service. That’s my opinion or maybe they still have the yellow pages out there.
