About James H. Price
James H. Price IV grew up in South Carolina and pursued a straightforward path into the law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of South Carolina–Aiken and completed his legal training at Charleston School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2011. Those years shaped his approach to courtroom work: practical, direct and grounded in state law.
After law school he gained admission to practice in South Carolina and to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina. He built his practice through steady courtroom experience rather than public fanfare. Over time he established Price Law Office, where he now handles cases for local clients. The office has been the center of his day-to-day work for several years.
His professional memberships reflect the kinds of matters he takes on. He holds membership in the Greenville Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and has been affiliated with the South Carolina Association of Defense Lawyers since 2016. Those associations point to regular engagement with both criminal defense issues and defense-side litigation. He participates in local bar activities and keeps current on regional developments in practice and procedure.
Colleagues describe his style in court as straightforward. He prepares evidence, questions witnesses and argues motions in federal and state courts. He represents individuals and entities in proceedings that require attention to procedural detail, and he handles cases that range from early-stage investigations to contested hearings. Clients typically rely on him for practical counsel about their options and the next steps.
Outside the courtroom his work includes case preparation and coordinating with expert witnesses when needed. He manages the typical demands of a small firm: client intake, discovery strategy, and the administrative tasks that keep a practice running. Those responsibilities occupy much of his schedule and inform how he staffs matters at Price Law Office.
He remains an active presence within local legal groups and attends events that address criminal and defense law topics. That involvement keeps him connected to other lawyers in the region and to the latest procedural changes in state and federal practice.
He currently represents clients through Price Law Office and focuses his practice on criminal defense and defense litigation matters.
