After wrongfully being charged with a DUI and a Driving Under Suspension I decided to have Austin Blake represent me which was the best decision I could have made. The DUI was Dismissed after the first Court Date and the Driving Under Suspension was dismissed after a Bench Trial. With my experience with the Beaufort Magistrate Court, he is my go-to Attorney in Beaufort. Everything was seamless and all parties were happy at the end of the day. read more

I hired Sam Scoville to represent me through the most difficult, emotionally-charged, life-changing experience and I could not have asked for anyone better. As an active duty military member returning home from deployment, Sam's professionalism, extensive family practice knowledge, and ability to find every avenue to help me get custody of my children was EXACTLY what I needed. Sam was always thinking one step ahead and I couldn't be more grateful for his hard work. If you are looking for an attorney who will care about your family as much as you do, Sam is the right choice by far! read more

Make sure you get everything in writing to avoid "misunderstandings" when you go to pay your bill. I spoke with Deena about doing a deed preparation and per what I heard over the phone, she said "A hundred dollars" which seemed to be a reasonable price for a deed preparation. When I gave them my credit card 4 days later to pay for the deed preparation it was 300 hundred dollars. After speaking with Deena and Kevin Dukes about the situation, they assured that there was no possible way that I was quoted 100 dollars in the first place. Should you choose to use them, get everything in writing so you won't be surprised by a bill three times what you were expecting. read more

Absolutely terrible attorneys at this firm. I lost a case worth potentially 7 figures because I hired these jokers.

Several years ago, after making contact with several of the largest and most well known law firms in South Carolina to discuss potential litigation against multiple parties which included one of the largest banks in the world, I was repeatedly told that because of the very complicated nature of my complaints, it would be impossible for me to prevail at the federal court level. Within a matter of days of me finally coming to the realization that litigation was not going to be possible, I just happened to see a news segment on cable television that reported on a successful class action lawsuit that had been brought against a large national bank by a member of the United States military. After reviewing numerous newspaper reports about this litigation, I learned that William B. Harvey, III's of the law firm of Harvey & Battey was the co-counsel for the plaintiffs in this matter. Upon contacting the law firm of Harvey & Battey, attorneys William "Bill" Harvey, III and Sam Scoville not only took the time to speak to me about my complaints, but they took the time to review numerous documents and other evidence relating to what can only be described as very complicated issues surrounding a real estate transaction. Contrary to the opinions provided to me by some of the largest and most well known law firms in South Carolina who specialize in banking litigation, Bill and Sam were very confident that not only could my claims be made at the federal court level, but they were very confident that the facts and evidence were on my side and I would ultimately prevail in court. After a period of several years of litigating this matter in federal court, it is very difficult for me to express just how impressed I was with both William B. Harvey, III and Sam Scoville of the Harvey & Battey law firm. Not only was their professionalism unmatched both in and out of the federal courtroom, but their in depth knowledge about federal banking laws and real estate transactions was unparalleled. As a direct result of their outstanding efforts, they were able to accomplish what many of the largest and most well known law firms in South Carolina said would be impossible to do - they helped to resolve this matter in a way that was very favorable to me and my family! While the law firm of Harvey & Battey may not be the biggest law firm or the most well known law firm in South Carolina, I can honestly say that in my opinion, they are without any question the best law firm in South Carolina. read more
