Serving Columbia, SC
Former Prosecutor. Fierce Defender.
Seth Rose is a graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Law and a former assistant solicitor for Richland County—a position in which he prosecuted crimes including DUI, drug offenses, burglary, armed robbery, and murder.
Now, I use that experience on your side. As a State Representative and community leader, I’ve dedicated my career to fighting for the people of Columbia. I personally authored laws expanding expungement opportunities and creating second chances for those who deserve them.
How I Can Help You
With over 17 years as both prosecutor and defense attorney, I provide aggressive representation across a wide range of legal matters.

Significant experience successfully defending DUIs and alcohol-related charges. I challenge field sobriety tests, breathalyzer accuracy, and procedural violations.

Proven track record defending drug offenses from simple possession to intent to distribute. As a former prosecutor, I know how to defeat these cases.
Criminal Defense
All criminal charges including assault, theft, burglary, armed robbery, and more. I bring aggressive advocacy to every case.

Fighting for the injured to get the compensation they deserve. From car accidents to workplace injuries.
Workers’ Comp
Injured at work? I help workers get the benefits they’re entitled to.
