COMMON LITIGATION QUESTIONS:

Q: Do I need a lawyer for litigation in South Carolina?

A: Although you are legally allowed to represent yourself in court, it is strongly recommended that you use a lawyer. Without a lawyer, you will be responsible to supply your own legal knowledge to defend your claims.

Q: If I sue someone or a company can the court award me my attorney fees that I incur if I win?

A: In most cases you may only be awarded attorney fees and costs of suit when a statute or contract provides for an award to the winner. Most statutes and contracts do not provide for an award of attorney fees but some do. Make an appointment and we will be able to determine your rights and obligations.

Q: What are the fees for litigation in South Carolina?

A: Harvey & Battey provides flexible litigation fee arrangements which include contingent fee contracts and competitive hourly billing schedules. Please contact us to discuss your legal needs and to determine the fee arrangement that best suits your situation.
