Divorce
Child Support
Parents have a duty to provide financial support for their children. There are situations where the payment of child support becomes a highly contested issue. Generally speaking, child support will be set pursuant to the South Carolina Child Support Guidelines. However, the Court can deviate from the Guidelines. Additionally, disputes can arise on the figures to be used when running the Guidelines.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody and visitation issues most commonly arise when parents are seeking a divorce. However, these issues arise in other situations as well. When custody issues are part of a divorce action, this usually becomes the most important and the most contested issue. In child custody cases, it is important to have a strong advocate who can obtain and present necessary evidence to the Court to enable the Court to make the right decision.
Paternity
Guardianship
If a person has significant injury or dementia, or if a person otherwise becomes incapacitated and does not have a Power of Attorney or Healthcare Agent in place, there may be a need for a Guardianship and Conservatorship action. These actions allow a person’s assets to be protected, to have a person appointed to handle business affairs, and to have a person designated to make healthcare decisions. Unlike the preparation of documents in advance, these proceedings are much more time-consuming.
Spousal Support

Wrongful Death

We have recovered millions of dollars for clients in wrongful death claims. Through these cases, we have been able to give our clients hope, a feeling of justice, financial stability, and peace.

We handle numerous contract disputes, some of which are very complex. We also draft contracts for individuals, as well as for companies.

Workers Compensation
It isn’t uncommon for employees to sustain injuries while working for their employers. Sometimes disputes arise as to whether an employer is financially responsible for covering the injury, to include medical expenses, missed work, and permanent disability.

Real Estate Litigation
Premises Liability
Premises liability claims arise when a person is injured on property owned by another person. In South Carolina, if a person owns land, there is a duty of care that extends to people who may be guests on the land. There are a number of technical distinctions that control the law to be applied. Generally speaking, a person is either an Invitee, a Licensee, or a Trespasser. The duty of care owed by a landowner is governed by the type of guest on his/her property. The standard of law to be applied also depends on whether the property is commercial or residential. Some examples of premises liability claims include...

Personal Injury
If a person sustains an injury through the fault of another person or a business entity [negligence, recklessness, intentional conduct], the at-fault party can be held financially responsible for the injuries sustained. Most often, insurance coverage is available; however, the insurance companies are not quick to acknowledge responsibility, and they won’t offer adequate compensation to make a person whole from damages sustained. Personal injury attorneys are able to step in as an advocate for injured persons so that they can be paid what they are entitled to receive.
Medical Malpractice
Schedule Consultation - Call (864) 641-3377 The most common personal injury claim is for injuries sustained in automobile accidents. However, there are many other situations where injuries sustained can be compensable, such as: slip and fall claims, dog bite claims, defective product claims, medical malpractice claims, and premises liability claims [injuries sustained on the property of another].

Estate Planning
In addition to making a Will, you should consider whether a Power of Attorney and/or Healthcare Agent would be something you should do. Having a Power of Attorney allows someone to handle your business and legal affairs if you become incapacitated. A Healthcare Agent allows someone to act for you when you can’t make medical decisions for yourself. Unfortunately, these documents must be created before a person becomes incapacitated. As you consider your estate planning needs, you need to consider preparing for unexpected events, so that when these life changing events occur, you can still have some control over the manner in which they are handled.
