The Legal Help You Deserve In Columbia, South Carolina

Being the subject of a criminal investigation or facing criminal charges can have a lasting impact on your life. People who once respected you may refuse to listen to your side of the story. Your family and friends may doubt you. And if you are convicted, you can face serious penalties like prison time and a lasting criminal record.

If you or someone you care about is facing this difficult reality, know that you do not have to go through it alone. I am Jonathan M. Harvey, a defense attorney with more than 35 years of experience in the state and federal criminal justice systems. I stand by clients at every stage of the process — from the moment they are accused to the resolution of their case.
