Woman receives first Bar Association compensation in 1980s
A Loris woman, Karen Soles, awarded the maximum $10,000 from South Carolina Bar Association's Client Security Fund for an insurance settlement she did not receive after attorney John L. Reaves mishandled the case. Reaves was disbarred in 1978 and died in 1979. Soles had won a $45,000 settlement that vanished. Padgett said a suit could not recover funds due to a personal judgment against Reaves.
