The number of auto accidents in the United States steadily climbs as smart phones, texting, complex navigation systems, and other distractions cause more collisions. Illegal search and seizure is not an uncommon occurrence. What is common, however, are victims of illegal search and seizure not knowing their rights.
Suffering any injury is a difficult time, and work-related accidents cost more than just a paycheck. It is important to contact an attorney who has the experience necessary. In times like these, you and your loved ones need a legal advocate who knows the law and will not stop fighting for you until your case is resolved.

After graduating from USC School of Law, Chase began work as a prosecutor for the Thirteenth Circuit in both Pickens, and Greenville County. After years as a prosecutor, Chase started his own firm, The Law Office of H. Chase Harbin, P.A. For well over a decade Chase has represented clients in Federal Court, State Circuit Court, Magistrate/Municipal, and Family Court.
Facing criminal charges - and the chance you'll spend time in jail - is likely one of the most frightening things that can happen to you. If you believe you are being investigated for a crime or you have been arrested and criminal charges are a possibility, you need to contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
In South Carolina, a driving under the influence (DUI) conviction carries large fines, suspensions, and can even mean jail time. First-time offenders with a blood alcohol content (BAC) over 0.08% can face fines up to $400, possible imprisonment, and a mandatory six-month suspension of your driver's license.
A search and seizure is a legal procedure in which law enforcement officers perform a search of an individual's personal effects and seize any items found that are considered as evidence in a crime. A search is performed when a person's subjective expectation of privacy is infringed upon. A seizure of property occurs when there is a meaningful interference with an individual's interest in possession of said property.
Now that you know what a search and seizure actually is - and what it is not - let's consider the Fourth Amendment and its language regarding searches and seizures within the United States.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.There are a couple of things that a (potential) victim of search and seizure should pay attention to.

So far my dealing with Chase has been he got me out on my first bond hearing after 2 months with ankle monitor and house arrest 32,000 surity ankle monitor 91 dollars a week. I have seen him about 5 times in almost a year time and not much was said about anything cause the solicitors we're withholding evidence. Now I'm waiting to see my audio visual had to cancel first appointment they said the solicitor was gonna be to busy that morning when I was supposed to be there. Going back next week . Mostly Talk to Teresa they are both very nice and I will update once I get further news update i ended

The office was always easy to get in touch with and Fred would talk me through any and all questions I had. When my case finally was taken to the prosecutor Chase explained the original offer to me and then went back and found a lack of evidence in my footage that he was able to present to the prosecutor and eventually the judge to have the entire case dismissed. He included me in his thought process and ultimately helped me make the best decision for my case. Needing a lawyer is never fun, but I'm glad I found the right one to get the best possible outcome for my situation.

Challenges in life don’t need to be met alone. Especially when legal questions arise. Jamie Whalen of the Law Offices of H. Chase Harbin offered knowledge, experience, and insight. He combined caring and a willingness to listen, and he took the time to understand all the details presented. He thought “outside of the box” and pursued the contacts necessary to achieve the best possible outcome.

The Law Firm of Chase Harbin is top notch!! Their integrity, lines of communication and professionalism throughout are unparalleled in this industry. Our son was facing a very difficult situation and the results of his case were better than we could have ever possibly imagined. If you want a firm who will fight for your rights and treat you as though your case is the only one that matters, don't look any further. Special thanks to Fred and Jamey for returning every phone call and keeping us grounded throughout this very difficult time. I highly recommend these guys!
