South Carolina
Employment Lawyer

Experienced litigator with a track record of success.

Employment disputes turn on the law, evidence, and courtroom credibility, which all equate to possible leverage. After 33 years of litigating employment cases in South Carolina state and federal courts, I know what separates theoretical legal advice from practical resolution. Whether you’re an executive navigating a complex separation, an employee facing discrimination or retaliation, or an employer defending against claims, experience in the courtroom determines outcomes. I am a nationally recognized employment attorney who has successfully tried cases to verdict, argued before appellate courts, and negotiated high-stakes settlements. Litigation experience isn’t merely about credentials—it’s the ability to evaluate case strength, anticipate defense strategies, and position clients for maximum leverage, whether in settlement negotiations or trial.
