I have practiced law in Charleston, South Carolina since my graduation from the University of Tennessee School of Law in 2003.  I was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, and graduated from Clemson University in 2000 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Financial Management.  I was admitted to practice in state and federal courts in South Carolina in November of 2003.   I currently reside in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina with my wife Lindsay and our three sons.  We are active members of Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church.. I have practiced law with Rosen, Rosen & Hagood, LLC my entire legal career starting out as an associate in 2003.  In 2007, I was promoted to partner/shareholder and in 2010 became an equity member in the firm effective January 1, 2011.  I currently serve on the firm's recruiting committee for evaluating and hiring summer law clerks as well as the firm's technology committee.. My practice focuses primarily in the areas of construction litigation, commercial business litigation, condemnation and surety law.  I have experience representing private and public owners, architects, contractors, construction managers, subcontractors, and bonding companies.

I am proud to be a criminal defense lawyer. I have over three decades of experience in criminal justice as a former FBI agent, former Assistant State Prosecutor (Solicitor), former Charleston City Prosecutor and municipal judge. This diverse exposure to many facets of the legal system has provided me with invaluable experience, which is  otherwise difficult to acquire. I have been Board Certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, qualifying me as a specialist in Criminal Trial Advocacy. I am also lead chair death penalty certified by the South Carolina Supreme Court.. I have tried cases in city, county, state and federal courts in South Carolina since 1980. This inclusive experience has afforded me the opportunity to learn that the best outcomes are achieved by understanding a client's needs and dedicating myself to their interests. A person charged with a criminal offense faces a path of accusation pursued by a government entity with great resources. This warrants the advocacy of a lawyer with significant experience in criminal defense.. I will only decide to undertake representation of a client after meeting with them to discuss their case in detail.  The first meeting is an integral component of my representation process. It allows me to become acquainted with a client and establish a professional, trusting relationship with them. This meeting also provides me with the chance to educate a prospective client on their legal matters and inform them of the next steps in their legal proceedings. I enjoy providing comprehensive education to my clients about their case because it allows us to better communicate with each other.. - Tim Kulp

I am originally from Moncks Corner, South Carolina.  After being sworn into the South Carolina Bar, I practiced in Horry County until I returned to Charleston in 2013.. When I'm not practicing law, I attempt new recipes, try to become a runner, sing loudly and offkey, and read. My husband and I live in Ravenel with our children and cat (who has enough personality for two humans).

I am dedicated to providing my clients with hard work and effective legal counsel.

I am a native of Charleston.  I received my primary education at  Charleston Day School and attended Porter Gaud High School  After graduation from Washington and Lee University, I entered the Masters in Public Administration Program at the College of Charleston.  It was a two year program and I decided to leave after a year to attend law school.. I began working as a law clek in 1983 with a firm specializing in workers compensation and insurance defense work.  The firm offerd me a job in Birmingham Alabama upon graduation and when it merged with a firm in Mobile, I  was tansfered to Mobile and worked with an exceptional attorney in the field of medical malpractice defense.  I wanted to return to my home town and did so in 1987, leaving behind a great job.  I worked with the same firm in Charleston for over 21 years, including 13 years as managing attorney.  I co-founded Corrigan & Chandler  with Nelson Chandler in Febuary of 2010.  I am primarily a litigator having taken some 200 cases to a jury verdict and more to a ruling by a Judge or Comissoner.  I am a certified mediator and have conducted a number of them.. When my work allows the time, I have a passion for Colonial American History and the European back stories which lead to the colonization of this Country by European powers.  I also study the Tudor and Stuart monarchs in England and the exiled senior branch of the British Royal family.. I collect regional art and volunteer for a dog rescue organization. I am lucky to live on the coast and get out on a boat or to the beach with my dogs as often as possible.  I pretend to fish and prefer war stories about fishing more than the law.  I am passionately concerned about First Amendment Rights, especially free speach but handle cases in all SC courts on a wide variety of topics. Construction Law is a very active area of practice in this area along with product liability cases.  I enjoy the variety of cases.  I have excellent claims represetatives handling my insurance defense files.  Boredom is never an issue.. It is a smaller part of my practice but the representation of small businesses in these uncertain economic times is very satisfying.  Historic Preservation Law, an off shoot of zoning and planning law, is also a fascinating area of the law.  If forced to define a specilaty, it is working to avoid litigation when best for my client, preparing cases for trial and being ready to try any case.. If you have never visited Charleton, you should for the natural and man made beauty.  If you have any interest in history, forget the high school text book version and come see the real thing.  Travel advice is free.

I am a litigation attorney with over 20 yeasrs proven courtroom experience.   Although not every case goes to court, you need to make sure you are picking an attorney who will go to court if that what is needed.   If you prepare to win your case, then you are in the best possible position.   If you don't prepare to win, then you are almost certainly preparing to lose.. I believe in the value of work.  So, you will typically find me at the office or in court.  It helps that I like what I do.. I do teach Sunday school to 1st graders at my church.  Not only are kids funny (often unintentionally), I find that teaching little kids about faith, values and common sense makes me a better lawyer and person.  Communicating about right and wrong is what lawyers do for a living.   And at the end of the day, I think the world would be a better place if we could remember what we were taught in 1st grade---honesty, respect, responsiblity, commitment, and hard work.

I am a former police officer and prosecutor.  I fight for my clients and ensure their rights are protected.  When you have charges pending, or have been in an accident, you need an agressive lawyer who knows what to do and isn't afraid to take a case to trial.  I have tried more than forty (40) cases as a prosecutor, and have tried cases as a defense attorney as well.  My firm's mission is to give my clients premium legal services and treat every client like they are my most important client...because they are.
