"Takes all comers concerning different areas of law. Made decisions concerning my family court dispute that were devoid of logic and reason, gave no explanation as to the manner in which he arrived at his conclusion, conflicted with prior determinations, and embodies the very essence of “arbitrary and capricious”. When he was called in reference to his either impotence or refusal to represent me as an ethical attorney should he still failed to demonstrate any logic, reason or evidence to support his lack of advocacy. Still, he made sure to bill me for phone calls concerning my questions about HIS poor performance. He is diligent in attending Gamecock football games and enjoying his beer, as I have seen him doing so on more than one occasion. May he should forgo the booze and events and spend more time helping clients like me who are at home going through abject misery. After I posted this review I received an email from Mr. Ervin’s paralegal. The email included an attachment that I didn’t bother to open. I’ll make a reckless assumption here and claim it likely contained language either threatening me or asking me to remove the review. I responded by reminding Mr. Ervin that I still have every piece of paperwork, including all emails in a container which is inside my safe. These records also include recordings of every conversation, in person or on the phone, that took place between us. In SC it is legal for a conversation to be recorded as long as one party is aware of it. I openly challenge him to take any legal action (injunction, libel suit, ect.) against me. It would only serve to erode his reputation even further. And in general, don’t bother filing a complaint against an attorney with the South Carolina Commission on Lawyer Conduct. They punish only the most egregious violations of the rules. Their main purpose is to protect their lupine kin. As of 4/17/22 no response from Mr. Ervin. Try it, I dare you."

"I met with John Ervin for the 2nd time. He is always personable, knowledgeable, patient, kind and eager to assist. Even though he wasn't able to assist me, he gave me numerous options that I could explore to resolve my situation and I was grateful for that."
