About

Our mission as the Department of Justice is to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights. The U.S. Attorney's Office is responsible for representing the federal government in virtually all litigation involving the United States in the District of South Carolina. This includes all criminal prosecutions for violations of federal law, civil lawsuits by and against the government, and actions to collect judgments and restitution on behalf of victims and taxpayers. Our office serves the entire state of South Carolina and its five million residents. 

The district's main office is in Columbia, with branch offices in Charleston, Florence and Greenville.
