Top best Workers Compensation Lawyers Near me in ZIP 29464

My practice is devoted to the defense of employers and insurance carriers in workers’ compensation and Longshore claims and all extensions of the Longshore Act. I practice throughout the states of South Carolina and Georgia in the workers’ compensation context, and my Longshore and Defense Base Act practice extends nationwide. I handle all facets of these claims from the initial reporting of an accident and its investigation, through the discovery process to trial, and any appellate proceedings thereafter. My clients include employers, manufacturers, carriers, shippers, maritime employers, stevedoring companies and defense contractors. I have been called upon to provide legal counsel in claims involving complex jurisdictional and coverage issues. My firm is designated statewide counsel for several manufacturers and stevedoring companies. The ability to practice law in South Carolina and Georgia, along with my Longshore claims experience, allows me to sort out the myriad of issues that arise from the concurrent jurisdiction that exists in South Carolina. My maritime practice includes all extensions of the Longshore Act, including the Defense Base Act.

In addition to practicing law, I was elected to serve on the Board of Governors for the  South Carolina association of Justice ("SCAJ").  I've also taught Criminal Law and Evidence at one of the local colleges.  Outside of work, my interests include hunting, fishing, hiking, camping and just about anything outdoors. I played tennis in college, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, competed in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon several times, and backpacked into some of the most rugged and remote terrain in the mountains of Idaho to bowhunt elk.  I also enjoy coaching my son's basketball and lacrosse team.  In the summer you will usually find me with my wife and son at the beach or out in the boat.  I work to live, not live to work!
