About

Luke Shealey graduated from The University of South Carolina with a B.A. in 2001. After clerking for two years at a major Columbia law firm Luke decided to pursue the practice of law. Mr. Shealey graduated law school in Boston, Massachusetts from the New England School of law. While there he was elected to the Student Bar Association and invited to write for one of the school’s several journals. In 2006 Luke moved back to Columbia, SC and began working as an Assistant Public Defender, where he would diligently represent indigent clients on criminal cases for almost seven years. Mr. Shealey was a tireless advocate for his clients, and for the majority of his time as a public defender he represented only the most serious crimes. Mr. Shealey has taken countless cases to trial with exceptional results, earning an uncanny amount of not guilty verdicts to include murder, all levels of assault, domestic violence, kidnapping and driving under the influence cases. Luke was a graduate of the National Criminal Defense College in Macon, GA in 2008, and in 2012 he taught trial advocacy to the inaugural class of the South Carolina Defense College. In 2013 Mr. Shealey was appointed to his first death penalty case. He and the other team members were tasked with literally trying to save this man from execution by the State of South Carolina. In 2015 Mr. Shealey and the other members of the team were able to secure a life sentence for their client. Mr. Shealey has trained in the Colorado Method of Captial Voir Dire at the Colorado School of Law and also in death penalty defense at the Santa Clara University School of Law. Mr. Shealey is a member of the South Carolina Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and active within his community. Mr. Shealey strives to provide powerful representation, and his vast courtroom experience allows him to achieve maximum results for his clients.  Mr. Shealey is admitted to practice in all South Carolina State and Federal Courts.

I had the smoothest experience with Luke Shealey. I really appreciated him fitting me into his schedule at the last minute, and he handled my case efficiently and thoroughly. He was incredibly responsive to my concerns and always available by email or phone. As a result of his work, my matter was resolved quickly and painlessly. I would recommend Luke Shealey to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Mr. Luke A. Shealey is a very professional lawyer that not only works hard for his clients but also cares about you. He will provide you with a free consult to hear your side and then give you his advise of what he will do if you hire him. I must say he went above and beyond then what I expected. The day after I had my free consult, I was going to go pay the money to hire him as my attorney. That morning the cops showed up at my house and arrested me for due to warrant for my arrest CDV. My wife called and got in touch with him on my behalf. I was out that afternoon on a PR bond and the automatic 30 day no contact was waived by the judge. This is rare to happen and all everyone in the jail was surprised. The case was dismissed today and the charges will be removed off my record.
