SENECA, S.C. (WBTV) – Daniel Johnson, an Oconee County resident, was arrested on June 19 for allegedly practicing law without a license. He reportedly represented a family member in a civil lawsuit multiple times between September 1, 2023, and August 13, 2024, despite not being a member of the South Carolina Bar, as noted in an affidavit.

Local authorities and the South Carolina Bar Association emphasize the significance of being represented by qualified professionals within the legal framework.
Pending further investigations, the situation remains a reminder of the potential legal consequences of operating outside the authorized sphere of the law. This case continues to unfold as authorities seek to clarify the extent of Johnson’s actions and any potential impact on those he represented.
