This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Run from this unprofessional lawyer and staff.

I paid for services then Knowone called me back over 30 days. When I switched lawyers after losing significant time and money I asked for my records to be sent via email. The law offices literally sent me detailed documents and records of other people’s private information and this is a huge violatio...n of the Hippa act. I filed a formal complaint but the bar refused to do anything even though by South Carolina law you can get your money back if you have proof that the lawyer doesn’t call you back on 30 days. I had phone records. I’m sure he’s connected with the old boys network and protected. Run from this scam artist .

The biggest scammer ever!

The worst experience ever, he would never return my calls or contact me. His secretary would lie and say he was in court, who later quit and spilled the beans on how unprofessional he is. Save your money this guy is a jerk off

Great job

Hired Attorney for my child custody case. Mr. Lizzie was very knowledgeable and highly talented. He helped me get my child out of a bad situation. I highly recommend him.

Big Disappointment

Bottom line, total waste of money. Rude & uncommunicative stuff to begin with. Lizzi himself unaware of what u even appearing for before the judge. U have to start from scratch to explain your case to him 15 mins before you’re called in before the judge. Unless u want to flush your money down the toi...let, I wouldn’t use him, would be better off defending yourself before the judge.
