Eighth Circuit Veterans Court (Laurens County)

The Commission on Prosecution Coordination's 2026 directory lists a Veterans Court in the Eighth Circuit, whose solicitor prosecutes Laurens County; the circuit's diversion director is Jami Steifle in Greenwood. The circuit's own site is dead, so the directory is the only readable source.

What it is. The Commission on Prosecution Coordination's 2026 Directory of South Carolina Diversion Programs and Treatment Courts (December 8, 2025) lists a Veterans Court among the Eighth Circuit's adult treatment programs. The Eighth Circuit is Laurens County's circuit - the solicitor also prosecutes Abbeville, Greenwood and Newberry - so a veteran charged in Laurens County may ask the Solicitor's office about it. Entry into a treatment court is at the solicitor's discretion; on completion the charges are dismissed and may be expunged. How to ask. The circuit director of diversion programs is Jami Steifle, 864-942-8800, [email protected]; the Commission's office is at the Wade Hampton Building, 1200 Senate St., Suite B-03, Columbia, SC 29201, (803) 343-0765. The county's own Magistrate and Probate Court pages publish no veterans docket of their own. The circuit's site. scsolicitor8.org serves an expired certificate and its pages link to a German question-and-answer site, so no circuit page could be read; this entry rests on the Commission's directory alone, and the county's header records the gap.
