There was an unchanged number of lawyers in good standing in Lee County in August compared to the previous month, according to the South Carolina Bar.

During August, Lee County had seven lawyers in good standing.

Data refers to all lawyers who were actively practicing during this time period. Lawyers in good standing do not have any complaints or disciplinary actions being taken against them.

Despite the long history of the legal profession in South Carolina, the state has the nation's second-lowest lawyer-to-population ratio. There is currently only one lawyer for every 493 residents.

More than 1,000 ethics complaints have been made against South Carolina judges who handle the state's major cases in circuit court. However, there were no judges who were publicly censured.

As of April 2024, a South Carolina lawyer makes an average annual salary of $96,296 a year.
