David Alan Harley

I was being targeted as a teacher and believed being set up to be fired. David successfully helped me transfer to another school in a better position. He also helped me recoup pay/stipend because I worked with special needs students. I met David at an IEP meeting representing a student. He impressed ...me and I hired him.

Mr. Harley rescued me from an awful teaching situation. I faced unfounded discipline and possible termination. I wanted out of my job, but couldn't quit or I'd lose my teaching certificate. I put my problem in Mr. Harley's hands. He worked wonders. I left my school and saved my certificate. Now I st...ill teach, but a different district. I highly recommend him.

I retained Mr. Harley in Dec 2017 and Jan 2018 for two separate cases involving employment related disputes/issues. Mr. Harley took a retainer of $2500 for one case and $3000 for the other case, he stated these were needed to hire a Private Investigator. Mr. Harley hired an investigator after many... months of my questioning what progress was being made, was anything being done regarding the two separate cases,, and I received one excuse after another. First he was on vacation, then his kid was in college needing help, then he was ill, then he was in court, he had more excuses and refused to provide an accounting statement for either case. I contacted the Private Investigator myself and was informed that he did not even bother to pay the Private Investigator and suspended all work due to non-payment. Mr. Harley filed one case wrong and it was dismissed, the other case he NEVER FILED !!! He simply took money and did nothing to further the case. When confronted with this he stated he would refund the retainers, this was in November of 2018, still waiting for a refund. I am now faced with filing a complaint with the SC Board, an possibly suing for our the retainers, the problem is he is a ghost, moved out of his rented home in Charleston, fled to some other area, cannot locate him.

David is an excellent attorney. I had a contract issue with my employer and David resolved it in my favor. I will refer my friends to him in the future. One of the few attorneys I've worked with that I felt actually listened to the result I wanted rather than telling me the goal. I highly recommend h...im.
