This man will take your money and do nothing. He will show up but doesn’t do anything to represent you. When you question him he told us his doctor told him not to be stressed. This man has gotten a public reprimand from the SC bar for actions against him for several of his clients.

I paid David a 5000.00 retainer and after accomplishing absolutely nothing I got 1000 dollars back. Constantly unable to get in touch with him. Claims to be in the hospital a lot. Everything seem to be a grey area with him. Very disappointed pretty much wasted 4000 dollars. I will be filing a complaint with the SC bar.

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 still teach, but a different district. I highly recommend him.

We recently moved to Greenville SC with a child with disabilities who started high school in August. We met multiple times with the school with no results. After hiring David, he made a few calls to School District's attorney, who he seemed to know, and after one IEP meeting, David helped obtain what my child needed in his IEP in terms of services and accommodations. I strongly recommend.

My daughter was in a very challenging situation with a suspension at a local college in Charleston. we did not get an attorney from the get go which proved to be a horrible mistake. I called David and he was amazing. He assured us he would do his best to address the situation as he is very familiar with education law and know the ins and outs . He was so nice and accommodating and went above and beyond to answer questions . His communication was fantastic and was a genuine guy, which I loved. Would HIGHLY recommend !!!

I could not have filed for unemployment without David helping me. He assisted me with all the details and guided through all you have to face when unemployed. I was very nervous and scared; he acted promptly and efficiently so that I was compensated as I searched for my next work home!

David has represented our son for 6 years. He has guided us with our son's special education needs throughout the process. He's probably attended 17 to 20 IEP meetings and pushed the school into doing what they originally refused. He's been available for us after hours and early in the morning. We've spent numerous calls with him over 1 hour. Our son would have suffered without his help. He was sick for a period but kept us informed the whole time. We never missed a deadline or meeting. He will be my son's lawyer through College. Highly recommend.

We had an issue with our son's IEP at school. Mr. Harley clearly knew special education law from the moment we met him. He was compassionate and even asked to meet our son. After two IEP meetings and a few strong letters, our son received what he needed in his school plan. I’ve read other reviews about Mr. Harley being ill and delaying meetings. This is true he was sick and during our time he was in the hospital in September and January, we even took him balloons, but he always communicated that with us and we understood. I understand he is on the mend. In the end his hospitalization did not hurt our case. Our son is doing well and Mr Harley even got the school to pay for a two week summer camp. I will keep him in my contacts.

I hired Mr. Harley in October 2018. I paid a fee in advance. He advised that family and health issues were the cause of delays and failure to start my case. When he did return calls, he was always very nice and apologetic but literally never did anything. I finally asked for a refund. He said he would mail me a refund a month ago but I have never received it. I suspect that I have been scammed and question whether he is really an attorney. I am looking at other options to obtain a refund.

I have a disability and anxiety. My university let me take my therapy dog into class along with other accommodations. Then without any discussion the Dean told me not to bring my dog into the class and removed other accommodations. I hired Harley Law and within 2 weeks my accommodations reinstated including therapy dog.

David kept our grandson, who was in the gifted program, from being expelled or suspended. He posted on a school chatroom how to make molotov cocktails in response to other students discussing it. Our grandson could have been expelled or suspended. He served one day of in school suspension. David was quick to point out the fact it was in response to a discussion and no threats were made, nor were any other students subject to the same scrutiny. He was prompt and his fees were well worth it, as well as reasonable.

David has represented me for several years and our child with disabilities. He's been available to us when our daughter has issues with her IEP and even on emergency basis when the school improperly implemented her IEP or tried to exclude her from school. Ive read the two reviews and i can verify his previous health problems including broken ribs and serious lung sugery. Twice he called me from ICU to return my calls. He's attended numerous IEP meetings over the 3 years he has represented our daughter. He has been her life saver.
