I care for my clients like I care for my flowers. Each case is a garden, plucking weeds, killing pests, nurturing growth. Each plant, like each case has different needs. I try my best to develop each one to their full potential.

SCDPS (Highway Patrol) just started "Operation Keep us Safe". They will be strictly enforcing the "move over" law to yield to emergency vehicles and to be cautious (and change lanes) to avoid hitting emergency workers. They will also be stopping folks for "hands free" violations.

SC Code § 56-5-1538 (2024)..
(G) A person driving a vehicle approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle that is giving a signal by displaying alternately flashing red, red and white, blue, or red and blue lights, or amber or yellow warning lights shall proceed with due caution, significantly reduce the speed of the vehicle, and:

(1) yield the right-of-way by making a lane change into a lane not adjacent to that of the authorized emergency vehicle, if possible with due regard to safety and traffic conditions, if on a highway having at least four lanes with not less than two lanes proceeding in the same direction as the approaching vehicle; or

(2) maintain a safe speed for road conditions, if changing lanes is impossible or unsafe.

I LOVE doing weddings MUCH more than divorces! Honestly, I love helping folks navigate a variety of legal issues. I still feel so honored to be entrusted with helping folks with big life transitions!

Did you know that SC is the only state in the nation which does not have laws criminalizing "revenge p**n" (or Non Consensual Intimate Image Publication).

Yet the legislature debates an insurance company bailout bill which will strip humans of their right to sue and recover damages.

I found this interesting.

The Iowa Supreme Court overturned the child endangerment conviction of Waterloo mother who left her children at home while she went grocery shopping.
