IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM SC COMMISSION ON INDIGENT DEFENSE

The SC Commission on Indigent Defense (OID) wants to encourage the Bar to submit vouchers for payment for services in civil and criminal cases. OID is in the process of automating its system to allow for completing the vouchers electronically. In the meantime, if anyone requires assistance completing and submitting the vouchers, please contact OID. The submission of these vouchers is very important to OID - it facilitates the substantiation of the necessity of funds for civil and criminal appointments.

ELDER SUPPORTLINE

Elder Supportline is the City of Charleston Police Department's elder advocacy program. They handle a variety of cases, but specialize in those pertaining to elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Elder Supportline clients generally are 60 years of age and older, but in some cases are younger vulnerable adults. Elder Supportline is open to assist in whatever way possible with your older clients facing serious vulnerable crossroads. Elder Supportline also needs your help! In the process of helping senior citizens locally, the Elder Supportline office finds a constant need for guardian ad litems, assistance in probate matters, and attorneys who can help with wills, powers of attorney, living trusts, conservatorships, and guardianships, as well as basic legal matters. Many of these families are able to pay for such services, but there is also a significant group who are indigent. If you would like to help Elder Supportline with these matters and be added to their list of referral sources, please contact:
