Civil Litigation
We represent and advise clients in all areas related to civil litigation such as: personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, issues relating to contract formation and contract disputes, wrongful termination from employment, and disputes with insurance companies.
Plaintiff Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
We represent individuals and the families of individuals who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of others. We understand the tactics of insurance companies and how their attorneys think. insuracne companies are only interested in minimizing their economic exposure when a serious injury or death has occurred and they hire attorneys whose job it is to udnermine each aspect of your claim. Some attorney's are not willing to take a case to trial and as a result settle cases for less than their value. We have a proven record in the courtroom and are not afraid to take a case to trial to obtain the best possible result.
Medical Malpractice and Healthcare Negligence Law
Medical negligence or "malpractice" occurs when a physician fails to provide the standard of care that would be expected of a reasonable physician in the same field of practice. Doctors and other health-care providers must follow certain standards when caring for patients.
Our firm investigates and pursues claims for injuries and eath arising out of:
* Birth Trauma
* Failure to Diagnose Cancer and Other Diseases
* Inappropriate or Negligently Performed Surgery
* Disfigurement
* Inappropriate or Dangerous Treatment Practices
* Pharmaceutical Injuriess and Prescription Drug Errors
* Psychiatric/Mental Health Malpractice or Negligence
* Motor Vehicle Accidents
Injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents require the guidance of an experienced attorney. Insurance companies continue to take advantage of injured parties simply becasue those injured don't know the law. We have years of practice and an impressive track record representing people who have suffered significant injuries in motor vehicle accidents. We work with physicians and other health care providers to access and review all the short and long-term medical aspects of your care. Our knowledge of South Carolina's automobile, insurance and liability laws means we understand the different sources of recovery available to car accident victims and their families as well as the various theories of liability that enable those victims to collect from the parties who caused them harm.
Products Liability
We represent individuals who have been injured as a result of the negligent design or manufacture of an unsafe product. We assist those injured individuals in bringing their claims and being fairly compensated for their injuries.
Criminal Defense
It is absolutely essential that in a free society, before we deprive a citizen of his or her liberty, we require the government to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Good people sometimes make poor decisions and find themselves in trouble with the law. Young people often do things that are acts of immaturity that can follow them for years to come.
Effective criminal defense includes investigating the facts, knowing the law, and aggressively protecting the rights guaranteed to us by the Constitution.
If you or a loved one becomes the subject of a criminal charge or investigation, let me help. I will put my years of experience first as a prosecuteor for the solicitor and attorney general and later as a criminal denfense attorney to work for you.
