Supervising Attorney

Are you a decisive legal leader who can unite a growing team of attorneys around clear standards, accountability, and shared success?

Do you thrive in fast-paced environments where client outcomes, team performance, and operational excellence all demand your attention?

Can you identify bottlenecks, resolve excuses, and mentor attorneys toward consistent, measurable results — without losing your empathy or edge?

Is your leadership style rooted in direct communication, high expectations, and a commitment to both the client experience and internal team growth?

Final question: When faced with a challenge, do you get excited or run away?

At our firm, we believe in doing things differently. Our firm has earned a reputation as one of South Carolina’s most respected personal injury practices by staying grounded in humility, accountability, and service. With over 100 years of combined experience and nearly $100 million recovered for our clients, our attorneys handle a broad range of cases — from car and truck accidents to nursing home abuse and wrongful death — with unwavering dedication. We serve clients across all of South Carolina, including the Midlands (Columbia area), the Upstate (Greenville), the Lowcountry (Charleston) and the Pee Dee (Myrtle Beach), operating with a client-first mindset that prioritizes transparency, shared decision-making, and compassionate legal representation.

Our team handles thousands of personal injury cases across South Carolina — proof of the trust our clients place in us and the results we consistently deliver. We’ve built a culture that rejects ego and excuses, embraces innovation, and empowers every team member to grow. Whether we’re stepping into court for high-stakes litigation or guiding clients through complex legal processes, we uphold the highest standards of ethics and performance. This is a place where integrity meets progress — and every client is treated like family.
