Nick Baughman is a native Andersonian, and has lived in South Carolina for the majority of his life. A 1999 graduate of TL Hanna, he spent his first decade after high school working in a variety of fields, including spending several years managing retail stores across the Upstate and several more working as an electrician in the construction industry. It was during this time that Nick met his wife, Jessie, and started a family.. Nick has a passion for helping people. Having spent so much time as a blue collar worker, he understands firsthand the struggles families face on a daily basis. He also witnessed how much more difficult it can be to support a household when a tragic death or injury occurs. So in 2009, Nick decided to go back to college to become an attorney so that he could help those who needed help the most – people who have been injured because of the negligence of others.. In 2010, Nick received an Associate of Arts degree with Honors from Greenville Technical College. In 2011, he graduated summa cum laude from Clemson University, earning a BA in Political Science with a 4.0 GPA. While attending Clemson, Nick also worked for a local insurance agency.. Nick attended the University of Toledo (OH) College of Law on a full scholarship, and graduated cumlaude in 2015. There he served as the Note and Comment Editor for the Toledo Law Review and as Vice President of the Christian Legal Society. While in law school, Nick worked as a clerk in the Toledo Municipal Court. Nick also spent a summer interning for Christopher Pracht, where he learned the basics of practicing personal injury law.. After graduating law school, Nick returned to Anderson to begin his career as an attorney. Given his prior experience working for the insurance company, he understands what it takes to deal with claim adjusters. Accordingly, Nick’s practice is focused on seeking justice for those that have been killed or seriously injured in car wrecks, trucking accidents, motorcycle collisions, and workplace accidents. Nick also represents people facing criminal charges, as well as individuals needing assistance with probate matters.. When Nick is not practicing law, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two children, dressing up like superheroes with his son, watching college football, and just making the most out of each and every day.. Nick is a member of the South Carolina Association for Justice, the South Carolina Bar Association, and the Anderson County Bar Association.

My law practice is devoted primarily to representing injured workers.  With over 35 years of experience, I have represented workers with claims involving brain injuries, quadriplegia and paraplegia, amputations, neck and back injuries, fractured bones, shoulder injuries, knee injuries and replacements, hip injuries and replacements, blindness, hand injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome, foot and ankle injuries, mental disorders, chemical sensitivities syndrome, burns and disfigurement.  I have also handled work-related death claims.  I have represented workers who have contracted occupational diseases such as byssinosis  (brown lung), silicosis, hard metals disease, and even Legionnaire's disease.  I have handled cases where hospital workers have contracted hepatitis as a result of contaminated blood exposures on the job.  I have also helped teach workers' compensation to other lawyers.  I taught a seminar on "Advanced Workers' Compensation in South Carolina" and authored a summary of the law for publication in the seminar materials.  I am "AV" peer review rated, which is the highest rating that a lawyer can receive from Martindale-Hubbell.  This rating attests to a lawyer's legal ability and professional ethics, and reflects the confidential opinions of the Bar and the Judiciary.. I  was born and raised in Anderson, South Carolina.  I attended public school in Anderson through the ninth grade, and then attended The McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where I graduated from high school.  During my youth, I was active in athletics, church and Boy Scouts.  While a Boy Scout, I obtained the highest rank of Eagle Scout and earned the God and Country Religious Award.  I represented the United States at a World Boy Scout Jamboree in Japan.  Throughout my teenage years, I played competitive tennis and earned many state rankings.  My high school tennis team won the high school national championship.. I chose to attend college at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia so that I could play college tennis.  While at Mercer, I was a four year letterman on the tennis team.  I was also a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and graduated with a double major in Business Administration and History.. I always aspired to be an attorney.  My grandfather, for whom I am named, was a long time attorney.  Upon college graduation, I enrolled at Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University.  During law school, I was a member of the Mercer Law Review and served as Associate Editor of the law review publications.  I graduated from law school in 1982 and returned home to Anderson to start practicing law.. I practiced in a partnership for 14 years, which focused on civil litigation involving personal injury, medical malpractice and products liability.  As my law practice grew, I developed a keen interest in handling  workers' compensation claims.  In 1996, I formed my own firm with a goal of focusing my practice in the area of workers' compensation. While the attorneys with Trammell & Mills Law Firm, LLC represent clients with a variety of claims, I have primarily limited my practice to representing injured workers in workers' compensation claims.. In addition to practicing law, I have been active in community and civic affairs.  I have always believed in giving back to the community that has been good to me.  I have served on numerous boards and committees.  I am a past Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Anderson Area YMCA and am currently serving as the Chairman of its Fund Development Committee.  I also serve on the Board of Directors of the Blue Ridge Council of the Boy Scouts of America.  I am a member of the Eagle Board of Review for the Six and Twenty District of the Boy Scouts.  I am an active member of St. John's United Methodist Church and have chaired multiple church committees over the years and am currently serving on the Staff-Parish Relations Committee.

My father is a trial lawyer, but I never really appreciated my father’s work until I was fourteen years old. That winter, I was seriously injured as a passenger in a motor vehicle accident. I was hospitalized and underwent a one-level posterior cervical fusion with instrumentation for a dislocated vertebra in my neck. According to the surgeon, I missed being rendered quadriplegic by a couple of millimeters. It was a frightening and painful experience. My father handled the legal aspects of my claim, and through his work, I learned firsthand the valuable service that trial lawyers provide for victims in society. Not only did my father help me, I saw how my father’s actions improved our community. My accident occurred on a dangerous, unmarked hairpin curve, which had been the site of several prior accidents. Through my father’s efforts, the State erected signs to warn other drivers of the approaching dangerous curve. To my knowledge, no wrecks have occurred in that area since the warning signs were erected. I knew then that I wanted to be a lawyer, so I could devote my life to helping others, just as I had been helped.. I grew up in Anderson; however, I left in the tenth grade to attend high school at The McCallie School in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The academic environment was challenging and competitive. Today, I look back on my experiences at McCallie with great pride. McCallie’s motto is “honor, truth and duty”. I believe that adherence to those principles, which were ingrained in me at an early age, will help me be successful in life and as a lawyer.. After graduation, I attended Elon University. I chose Elon because I believed that I would be better served academically and socially at a small school. I wanted to build relationships with my professors and classmates. However, the values I gained during my four years at Elon far exceeded my initial expectations. The university encourages student leadership and gives numerous opportunities for students to pinpoint their individual talents and use them successfully. I joined Kappa Alpha Order and became involved in Greek life. During my sophomore year, the student body at Elon selected me to be “Greek Man of the Year”. I held various leadership positions within the fraternity, including community service chairman and treasurer. Through these opportunities, I created sincere relationships in the university community and realized the value of strong social skills in attaining my professional goals in law.. After graduation from Elon, I entered the master’s degree program in education at Anderson University and ultimately obtained a Masters of Education in 2008. While pursuing the master’s degree, I also worked full time as a legal assistant at the law firm. Aside from the practical experience, the trial lawyers at the firm instilled in me some ideology necessary to succeed in law: (1) The most persuasive arguments often occur when the lawyer creatively thinks “outside of the box” so that I can distinguish my case from the norm, and (2) attention to detail is imperative if a lawyer hopes to be successful, because it only takes one mistake for the lawyer to lose the trust of his client or his credibility before a jury. I intend to incorporate these principles into all aspects of my life and I believe they will help me to be a successful lawyer.. After obtaining the master’s degree, I entered law school at Thomas M. Cooley School of Law in Lansing, Michigan. Law school was very challenging. I focused my legal education on litigation and was fortunate to excel in Moot Court and mock trial competitions. I graduated from law school in 2011 and returned home to Anderson.. My first job as a lawyer was working as a law clerk for The Honorable R. Lawton McIntosh, 10th Judicial Circuit Court Judge. My experience with Judge McIntosh was priceless. I travelled throughout South Carolina with Judge McIntosh and had the opportunity to observe many jury and non-jury trials and hearings, both criminal and civil. This experience taught me how to become a better advocate for my clients and how to adequately prepare cases for litigation.. In addition to practicing law, it is one of my goals to give back to my community. I was elected to the Board of Directors of Anderson Heritage whose mission is “to preserve the historical and architectural interest in the community.” I am also a lifelong member of St. John’s United Methodist Church, where I serve as an usher on Sundays and my wife sings in the choir.. As an attorney at the Trammell & Mills Law Firm, LLC, I have focused my practice on helping those who have been hurt on the job, injured in car wrecks, or otherwise suffered serious personal injuries.

Mr. Mills works tirelessly every day in an effort to bring justice to those who have been wronged. Mr. Mills has worked on both sides of the law and has been through some harrowing life experiences. Mr. Mills has been tested and tried by many of the more traumatic events that life has to offer and now provides his services to the public.. Who would you rather have on your side? Someone whose resolve has been tested and tried? Or someone who has intertwined their morality and greed in such a way that they can’t tell one from the other?. Mr. Mills went on to law school at Mercer University and clerked each summer trying to determine how he could best serve those less fortunate. The corporate law firms never truly provided him with that personal feeling of assisting the common person in need. It wasn’t until Mr. Mills became the first law clerk of the South Carolina Trial Lawyers Association under the supervision of Linda Franklin and lobbyist Michael Gunn that he realized where his education, life experience, drive, and hard work could truly benefit those who have been personally and directly affected by the negligence of another. Mr. Mills wanted to be a coveted and much needed plaintiff’s trial attorney. More importantly Mr. Mills realized the power of the faceless insurance companies, misinformed legislative members, and the true power of money and lobbyist in dictating laws.

Dan Whitehead grew up in Anderson, Indiana, completed his Bachelor’s degree and Master's degree from Ball State, and earned his Juris Doctorate from Indiana University – Indianapolis.. Dan overcame tremendous adversity in life as a child when his father and brother were arrested, convicted, and sent to prison.  Without the money for high priced attorneys and not having the finer things in life (other than a wonderful grandmother Dan would say), Dan worked his way through school paying his way and earning the grades needed to get into law school so that he may find a way of getting his brother and father released from prison.  During this time, Dan was also wrongfully charged criminally but he proved his innocence and was acquitted.  Having been through the legal system, wrongfully accused of a crime, he is able to relate to his clients like no other attorney in Madison County.. Dan knows what it is like to go visit family in prison for Christmas. Watching his family torn apart by the legal system, he now looks for ways to use the system to strengthen children.  As he watches parents find ways of attacking the other parent inside and outside the courtroom, he tells clients, “Children need love, trust, and hope. Look in the mirror, ‘Am I really doing this to my kid?’ A child will blame themselves.” He aims to work to resolve family conflict in peaceful resolutions with visitation and custody plans that focus on the children, because in the end, it is what the parents want as well – well adjusted happy children.. Recently Dan has been speaking out as a cancer survivor beating stage 4 cancer.  He truly believes through his life’s work  you can always overcome adversity.
