Personal Injury Law

7087 Rivers Ave, North Charleston, SC 29406, USA

Amanda not only provides skilled legal counsel to her clients, but compassion and support when they need it most. Her reputation for stellar service has been earned through hard work and determination – the same attributes that are tremendous assets to her clients today. Since her very first days as a law student, Amanda has known that she wanted to pursue a career as a trial lawyer. With this goal in mind, she worked harder than ever and graduated a semester early from the University of South Carolina School of Law. Little did she know that she would one day change countless lives by recovering much-needed compensation for accident victims throughout the Palmetto State. While still at school, she participated in mock trials competitions nationwide, honing her skills in the courtroom. Today, she gives back by mentoring promising students for the USC School of Law Mock Trial Bar and undergraduate mock trial team. During law school, Amanda also worked for the South Carolina Bar, offering law-related classes to both schoolchildren and teachers. The next generation continues to benefit from Amanda’s knowledge and experience as she serves as a committee member to the South Carolina Bar Law Related Education Committee. The competitive spirit and determination Amanda displays in the courtroom emerged long before law school, though. In fact, they can likely be traced back to her childhood, when she competed internationally on the equestrian circuit – and won two national gold medals in dressage! Today, Amanda wins on behalf of her clients, offering legal representation that’s truly second to none – right here at home in the Lowcountry. Trust her to fight for the compensation you deserve, and to offer legal advice you can count on each step of the way.
