The cracks in the system are growing louder, but the courtroom doors remain closed to the truth. “But not for long.” Says a concerned citizen who’s been keeping a close eye on the Low County Family Courts and is working to exposed what families have been experiencing for years behind those doors. Unethical behavior by those who took an oath to uphold their rights and protect their families.
A Lowcountry lawyer is facing charges after he allegedly pushed his former wife down the stairs last week. The lawyer, 45, is charged with first-degree domestic violence and second-degree violent burglary.
Another Charleston, South Carolina-based law firm has been accused of legal malpractice after allegedly concealing knowledge of an improper sexual affair involving a “rival” counselor and her client.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WCSC) - The South Carolina Supreme Court has suspended the license of a West Ashley attorney accused of having an intimate relationship with a client’s wife, according to court documents.
“What they are doing is fighting alleged parent alienation with actual parent alienation,” Jelena said.
Soon-to-be former South Carolina circuit court judge Bentley Price lost his job because he habitually displayed excessive leniency to violent offenders, often at the behest of the powerful lawyer-legislators who appointed him to the bench.
South Carolina judicial corruption… Family court system overlooked. Injustice in the Palmetto State is much bigger than the Murdaughs.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
In multiple Family Law Cases across the Lowcountry, the same names and connections keep surfacing making this concerned citizen dig deeper into what else is hiding behind those doors.
A child counselor practicing across state lines, in multiple cases, without proper licensure, despite ethical and legal requirements.
An attorney defending that counselor’s conduct in multiple cases, even while representing clients in cases where the counselor is directly involved.
Conflicts of interest between attorneys, GALs, and mental health professionals who rotate roles and protect one another’s reputations, rather than prioritize the welfare of the children.
Individuals who parade themselves as Parental Alienation “Experts” trapping parents into their web of deception only to further alienate their children from them.
Families have watched as reunification therapy was delayed for more than a year due to interference from professionals with overlapping loyalties.
Therapists who don’t align with their agendas are harassed. Records are subpoenaed to intimidate rather than protect. Parents are blamed while court-appointed experts create the very barriers they were hired to remove.
Meanwhile, fees continue to rise and parent child relationships are destroyed. Parents are kept writhin the system like a passenger on a train that never stops. They’re financially destroyed, while expected to pay for the professionals obstructing their rights, ignoring the law, and enabling psychological harm to them and their children.
How long will this continue?
When attorneys sleep with clients during litigation…
When therapists operate across state lines without credentials…
When officers of the court are arrested for violent crimes…
And yet still wield power in child custody cases…
When Constitutional Rights, Conflict of Interest and Due Process are terms that are no longer applicable…
It’s no longer just “difficult cases.” It’s institutional failure. It’s corruption.
And it’s happening in your local family court.
South Carolina’s Lowcountry legal system is long overdue for public scrutiny. Because these are not isolated stories, they’re repeating patterns. Patterns that destroy families, silence children, and enable unethical professionals to operate without consequence.
It’s time for accountability.
It’s time to listen to the families.
It’s time to clean house.
In many jurisdictions, attorneys may continue to practice law while charges or allegations are pending, unless a court or the state’s bar association takes specific action to suspend or revoke their license.
To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information about these attorneys’ licensure status, you can consult the South Carolina Bar’s official website or contact them directly. They maintain records of attorneys’ disciplinary actions and current standing.
If you have concerns about these attorneys’ conduct or believe that their continued practice poses a risk, you may consider filing a formal complaint with the South Carolina Office of Disciplinary Counsel, which investigates allegations of professional misconduct among lawyers in the state.
Please note that the legal process can be lengthy, and an arrest or allegation does not equate to a conviction. Therefore, unless disciplinary measures have been imposed, the attorneys may legally continue their practice.
