This is a good law firm.

Worst experience ever!
In my opinion, Mr. Lester did not represent me well in my divorce case which is why after nearly two years, I released him and hired a new attorney who sealed the deal.
It is my opinion that Mr. Lester is very forgetful and that he was most concerned about making as much money as possible rather than the welfare of his client, me. I 100% regret retaining him!

Do not under any circumstances hire Ken Lester as your attorney! He is very old and is senile and/or has dementia. He cannot retain facts. He spent several times more than he estimated my case would cost. He is belligerent, profane, and has a horrible temper. Despite charging me several hundred thousand dollars, he was not at all prepared for trial.

Ken Lester was voted the most outstanding Attorney in Columbia. I have known him for over 35 years and had many dealings with him. He is one of the most honorable men I have ever met.

He took a leave from the legal business to open a racket ball facility in Columbia and I hired him to give me lessons so I could compete with some of the former football players who lived in the Apartment complex that I lived in after finishing college at USC. When I told him who I was competing with he said "I am a pretty good instructor but not good enough to teach you to beat those world class athletes". He was honest.

He helped my sister in a child custody case and did it pro-bono. I don't think you will find any of his former Carolina teammates who will not give him anything but stellar reviews.

His reputation among his legal peers and judges is outstanding. I was shocked when I read these negative reviews on Google. They don't reflect the Ken Lester that I know.

One of Columbia's finest lawyers, Ken Lester cares about his clients and always has their best interest at heart. Great Family Law attorney.

I have known Ken Lester for fifty years beginning with a class of his at Midlands TEC. He hired me to be his part time secretary in my senior year. I have worked for Ken off and on until I finished law school in 1986. I practiced in Family Court as a Guardian ad Litem and worked on many cases with Ken and his firm. I have always known him to practice with the utmost integrity and an uncanny knowledge of Family Law. He is well respected by other members of the Bar and the Judiciary. I moved to Alaska in 2003 and gave up my law license in 2008. I moved back to South Carolina in 2015 and did not want to sit for the bar so I began looking for a paralegal position or office manager of a law firm. I called Ken and he and his partner hired me as Office Manager/Paralegal in 2016. I have the utmost respect for Ken and would welcome working with him again if the opportunity should arise.

I am going through a very difficult divorce and Mr. Lester and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and efficient. They are quick to answer emails and any questions that I have regarding my case. Definitely am glad I chose Ken H. Lester to represent me!

Professional friendly and down to earth.

Ken was a great attorney. He made sure I was kept up to date and helped me win my case. Highly recommended.

Ken Lester seems kinda out of it. And Harkey curses alot. I went to support my sister and he came through dropping f bombs. The reviews here would be lower if not for staff coming on here and giving it 5 stars. Sad.
