Similarly, he represented dozens of plaintiffs whose SUVs had rolled over following tire malfunctions amid the Ford/Firestone recall of the early 2000s. Litigation prompted both companies to change the design of their products.. A native of Columbia, South Carolina, Haltiwanger graduated from the University of Virginia in 1995 with a degree in International Relations & Rhetoric in Communications. He then attended the University of South Carolina School of Law where he was on the editorial board of the Law Review and also was a member of the Order of the Coif..

Salazar was electrocuted, causing the loss of both of his arms and legs. Haltiwanger represented him, twice arguing successfully that Salazar could bring a personal injury lawsuit rather than just a worker’s compensation claim. The case was settled for a confidential amount of money, and is thought to be the largest personal injury settlement in South Carolina history.
