Need Assistance?

Casework

My office can provide assistance to South Carolina residents who have questions about a variety of issues or problems with federal government agencies. The most common casework topics are listed on the right-hand column of this page and within each topic page there is a Frequently Asked Questions section. If you are unsure whether your concern is federal in nature, please visit www.usa.gov for a list of federal agencies.

My office can submit a congressional inquiry to the appropriate federal agency to request a response, make sure all your rights are respected and correct any procedural errors. I must respect and obey the laws and regulations for each agency and I am unable to make requests that would violate these rules.

Legal Issues

If your concerns are legal in nature, you should contact an attorney or the appropriate judicial agency. As a U.S. Senator, I do not have jurisdiction over such matters, but I will provide you with the suitable contacts that can assist you with your case.

You may wish to contact the South Carolina Bar Association for legal advice, services and referrals available to South Carolina residents at http://www.scbar.org.

If your concern involves misconduct by an attorney or judge, you should contact the Office of Disciplinary Counsel under the South Carolina Supreme Court at http://www.judicial.state.sc.us/discCounsel/index.cfm.

If your case involves the South Carolina prison system, you should contact the South Carolina Department of Corrections at 803-896-8500 or http://www.doc.sc.gov.

The Lawyer Referral Service also offers assistance to individuals via telephone or online at http://www.scbar.org/public/lrs/default.asp.

State Government Issues

If you have questions about South Carolina State Agencies, I am happy to refer you to the appropriate place. Unfortunately, I am unable to assist you with these matters because they are not under my jurisdiction as a U.S. Senator. If you are unsure if your concern is with a state agency, please visit http://www.scaccess.gov for a list of South Carolina State Agencies.

You may also contact Governor Mark Sanford for assistance with these concerns or your state representative at http://www.scstatehouse.net/cgi-bin/zipcodesearch.exe.
