Ramie Shalabi practices personal injury and workers’ compensation law. He was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina by a textile mill worker and a seamstress. He began working at a local grocery store at the age of 14 and has not stopped working since. He later attended the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC where he graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science while minoring in Business Administration.. Upon graduation, Ramie attended and earned his Juris Doctorate from one of the top law schools in the southeast – Wake Forest University School of Law. While in law school, Ramie was an editor for the Wake Forest University School of Law Journal of Law and Policy, which is still in publication today. Ramie began his legal career interning at the Richland County Solicitor’s Office before going on to intern at BB&T’s in-house legal department as well as the Federal Public Defender’s Office for the Middle District of North Carolina.. After earning his law degree, Ramie began working as a full-time prosecutor at the Richland County Solicitor’s Office where he met his current law partner, Curtis Dayson. Ramie spent hundreds of hours before judges in the courtroom prosecuting cases that ranged from property crimes to attempted murder. Ramie’s jury trial skills and confidence in the courtroom were developed as a prosecutor and carries those skills in confidence with him today as he takes on billion dollar insurance companies.. Ramie later began practicing at a local prominent insurance defense law firm representing some of the largest insurance companies in the world. His job used to be to pay as little to injured people as possible to save the insurance company money. He now uses everything he learned from his last job to fight against them to get every penny his injured clients are entitled to under the law.. Ramie stopped representing insurance companies and began representing people that were injured on the job or in motor vehicle accidents for a large law firm in South Carolina before starting his own law firm, Dayson & Shalabi Law Firm. Ramie has recovered millions of dollars for his clients since he began representing people instead of insurance companies. For Ramie, there is no greater feeling than helping a person in need of help. It is his calling in life and he works hard every day to achieve that. There is no greater feeling for Ramie than seeing his clients in a much better position at the end of the case than they were at the beginning.. Ramie currently represents injured individuals from all kinds of different industries – anywhere from construction workers to nurses and teachers – for their car accident cases or workers’ compensation claims. Most recently, Ramie was named one of the 2021 Best Lawyers in America for Workers’ Compensation Law – Claimant’s.

One of the reasons I chose to become a lawyer is to help people with their problems. I have assisted only plaintiffs and claimants my entire legal career and I am proud of that. I have three children and one grandson. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of South Carolina in May 1990, with a B.A. in Criminal Justice and received my J.D. from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1994. I was admitted to the South Carolina Bar in November 1994. After joining Army ROTC at the University of South Carolina during my undergraduate studies, I was commissioned as an officer in the United States Army Reserves in 1990 and served for 21 years before retiring as a Major in August 2011. I was assigned to the 108th Training Division at Fort Jackson, South Carolina for the first 10 years of my career before switching to the 12th Legal Support Organization as a judge advocate for the last 11 years of my military career at Fort Jackson, South Crolina. I am a member of the South Carolina Association for Justice, the Injured workers' Advocates, the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Educational Association, and the Richland County Bar Association. I have enjoyed speaking engagements as an attorney over the years ranging from career days as local middle and high schools, to presenting at University of South Carolina law school classes, as well as presentations for workers' compensation seminars sponsored by the National Business Institute, the South Carolina Bar Association, and the Richland County Bar Association.. Any result our firm may achieve on behalf of one client in one matter does not necessarily indicate similar results can be obtained for other clients.

Michael Jeffcoat, the visionary behind The Jeffcoat Firm Injury Lawyers, commenced his legal career after earning a B.A. in Political Economy and Philosophy from Wofford College in 1994.

During law school, Jeffcoat honed his skills through participation in Moot Court and clerkships in U.S. Attorney's Offices in Columbia and Seattle, as well as the South Carolina Attorney General's Office.. Although he initially defended corporations in environmental regulatory matters at a prominent Columbia law firm, Jeffcoat's passion for advocating for the injured led him to establish his plaintiff's personal injury practice in 1999. What began as a solo venture has transformed into The Jeffcoat Firm, a distinguished law firm in Columbia, SC, that has recovered millions for clients.. Jeffcoat's transition from defending corporations to championing the rights of the injured reflects a commitment to justice. The firm's growth, marked by the addition of talented lawyers and a widening scope, speaks to The Jeffcoat Firm's unwavering dedication to clients and its impressive track record in securing favorable outcomes. Michael Jeffcoat's journey underscores not only his evolution as a plaintiff's lawyer but also the enduring pursuit of justice for those harmed by the negligence of others.

Joseph “Joe” Wideman, Jr., joined the Atkins Law Firm in the spring of 2019. Prior to coming to Atkins Law Firm, Joe spent roughly three years with one of the Carolinas’ leading workers’ compensation defense firms representing businesses and insurance companies. It didn’t take Joe long to realize that he wanted to make the switch to representing injured workers. It’s among the best decisions he has ever made.

When he isn’t practicing law or volunteering, Joe is a fitness fanatic! He spends much of his free time working out or competing. When Joe isn’t at the gym, he enjoys cooking and spending time with his Fiancée, Antonia, and their two fur-babies, Daisy and LuLu, as well as spending time with friends and family. Perhaps one of his greatest joys is finding a good deal—the man is not afraid to clip a coupon. He also loves sports—especially football.

I was born and raised in Walterboro, South Carolina.  After graduating in 1969 with a BS in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina, I went to the University of South Carolina School of Law, where I earned my Juris Doctorate Degree in 1973.  After graduation from law school, I formed the partnership of Hunter & McWhirter with James Earl Hunter.  Hunter & McWhirter was a general practice law firm with an emphasis on personal injury law.  That same year I was admitted to practice by the Supreme Court of the State of South Carolina, the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina and, later, was admitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit..

While working part-time as Public Defender for Lexington County, I continued to build our law practice, and in 1986, formed the firm which became McWhirter & Associates.  At that time, our practice focused on the various areas of personal injury law, including workers' compensation, auto accidents, medical malpractice, wrongful death, premises liability and products liability.  In 1988, we expanded the firm to include an office in Columbia, South Carolina.  Since then, we have added offices in Orangeburg, Sumter, Newberry, Camden and Aiken.. We continue to strive to give the very best legal service to the thousands of clients we have been honored to serve over the past 40 years..

I became a lawyer to help people who have been injured. The only thing worse than a legal problem is a medical problem, and my highest goal is to help my clients obtain the best medical care available in the state of South Carolina.

My wife is a Spanish instructor at the University of South Carolina. We have two young children, and three dogs. We live in West Columbia, South Carolina.
