Reese Joye

Attorney Reese Joye of Charleston, S.C. has passed away. I did not know Reese personally, but after hearing many testimonials from the people who did I can appreciate what an impact he has had on our legal community.

Reese was a founder of the South Carolina Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and of the National College for DUI Defense, and was the first president of SCACDL. He published a multi-volume set of books on DUI defense, and was nationally recognized as an expert in the field.

As news of his passing reached Charleston, friends and colleagues recalled Joye as a tenacious attorney who worked long hours, did his homework and was always the most prepared lawyer in the courtroom. His firm holds the record for the largest personal injury verdict in state history.

I am saddened to learn of the death of my good friend Reese Joye.

Reese was a wonderful man , a great friend and a FANTASTIC lawyer.

He lived up to and greatly exceeded the ideals that great lawyers aspire to.

He was devoted to his family whom he greatly loved.

Reese was the inspiration to generations of lawyers with whom he came in contact.

He helped countless young lawyers and showed them the way.

The trial bar has lost a great advocate and friend.
