In 2008 I graduated from the University of Miami's School of Law and immediately moved to South Carolina to practice criminal law.  Within my first two years of practice I argued before the Supreme Court of South Carolina and helped to change the law in South Carolina to the benefit of my clients.  After an additional five years of practice with larger firms and many more cases, I decided to open the Truluck Law Firm.  I am at all times committed to the practice of law and it is my goal to provide responsive representation to keep my client's informed of their options throughout the legal process.

In 1998, the South Carolina Supreme Court certified me as a specialist in Bankruptcy and Debtor-Creditor Law. I have extensive experience representing creditors, debtors, and trustees in bankruptcy and in representing litigants in the State and Federal Courts of South Carolina. I seek to bring all of the tools of an attorney to problem solving. Through negotiation, mediation, litigation, and possibly bankruptcy, I strive to always accomplish the clients goals in as cost efficient and cost effective manner possible.

I have represented many consumers, including individuals and families, in BANKRUPTCY, CIVIL LITIGATION, PERSONAL INJURY, DWI/DUI AND OTHER LEGAL AREAS.. I have been practicing law since 1996.  Prior to my legal career  I was a network administrator.  I started out in criminal prosecution and moved to a general civil practice which specialized in bankruptcy, real estate, collections, personal injury and other legal areas.  I started representing consumers and businesses in bankruptcy, debt and consumer law cases.  During my career, I have represented small, medium size and large companies (including fortune 100) in contracts, acquisitions, software licensing,government contracts, litigation, negotiations, employment law, etc.

I have been in private practice consistently since December 1975, working in law firms of small and large collections of attorneys.  Recently, in May 2014, I opened my own firm, as a sole practitioner.  I am excited about the pressure and flexibility a small firm provides.  I am accepting new clients, and I would like the opportunity to discuss with you your legal needs.
