We are a boutique law firm practicing in limited areas of South Carolina law (we focus our practice):
Why trust your matter to someone without experience in the relevant practice area?
Our practice areas are limited to:
DSS Defense and DSS Appeals (OHAN and CPS/In-Home) –
Attorney Dustin Lee has handled in excess of 500 hearings involving the South Carolina Department of Social Services, and has taught other attorneys how to defend these actions at legal seminars.
DSS investigations – if you have been contacted by DSS in South Carolina, and are worried about “saying the wrong thing”, what options you may have, what may happen next, minimizing or mitigating your risks, or have other general questions or anxiety, we routinely assist in these matters.
DSS Appeals – if you have received a Determination Letter (Determination Fact Sheet) and have questions or concerns about your rights, we handle these types of matters throughout the entire State of South Carolina routinely. If you have had an adverse ruling in a Family Court case, we may be able to assist in representing you in an Appeal to a higher Court. If you have received a letter from DSS indicating you can request a “FAIR HEARING” (in Columbia, South Carolina) to appeal an indicated matter, we handle these throughout the entire State of South Carolina.
DSS Family Court case defense – we defend against cases brought by the South Carolina Department of Social Services throughout the 14th Judicial Circuit, including Beaufort, Jasper, Allendale, Hampton, and Colleton Counties. This is when a case has already been filed by DSS or is threatened to be filed. Whether the Department is seeking a Central Registry finding, an “internal database finding” (confidential DSS record), removal, intervention, or other relief, we have assisted in these matters all the way through trial/decision, including complex multiple-day trials.
South Carolina Public Records Expungements and South Carolina Records Analysis – we assist individuals seeking to have a charge or charges expunged (public records) due to prior criminal offense charges (and/or arrests) at the South Carolina state level including, but not limited to, South Carolina drug convictions, South Carolina misdemeanor offenses, assault, favorable dismissals, and Domestic Violence (D.V.) (formerly known as Criminal Domestic Violence or “C.D.V.”) defense for all degrees;
We assist individuals in analyzing their South Carolina criminal history. This is usually in conjunction with an immigration attorney or immigration matter (we do not practice immigration law, but work routinely with immigration attorneys around the country), where the immigration attorney needs an analysis for purposes of seeking relief or defending an action.
Family Law and Divorce for Men and Women in South Carolina’s Family Courts – including, but not limited to:
-Family Court Guardian ad Litem for Minor Children in the 14th Circuit;
-Name Changes (Adult and Child) in the 14th Circuit;
-Birth Certificate Amendments in the 14th Circuit;
-Family Court Mediations – in-person in the 14th Circuit, but Statewide virtually by consent; and
-Legal research and writing services for Complex Family Law Matter and Appeals.
Personal Injury and Car Accidents – including, but not limited to, automobile accidents/wrecks, pedal-bike/automobile collisions, dog bites, and motorcycle accidents/wrecks.
Both you and your case are unique:
Family law and divorce, personal. injury, and expungement matters often deal with extremely sensitive issues and problems that require a personalized approach. In short, though others in the “world” or “community” may be facing “similar” issues, we strive to find out what is important to our clients and to work towards legal solutions with individual client concerns in mind. The first step is to setup a confidential one-on-one consultation with an attorney from our firm.
