I highly recommend Sam and Christy. They worked so hard for my husband and I and supported us during the worst time in our lives. No matter how many questions we asked, they were there to answer them. Everyone in the office is so patient and welcoming. Hands down, the best lawyers in the state!
I highly recommend Sam and Christy. They have done such an amazing job helping me and my family get through a tough time. I can’t Thank them enough
I have worked with and against Sam on several cases. Not only is he an effective and innovative litigator, but a great person as well. I would recommend him as an attorney.
I have known Sam many years. He is an extraordinary individual who possesses a lot of talents. Perhaps most importantly, he is the "go to" attorney when an unfortunate accident happens on the waterways in South Carolina. Maritime law is a tricky and not well understood specialty. You will be well served in contacting Sam to evaluate your specific situation like he helped me when a beloved family member was injured in a boating accident that resulted in surgery, lost time from work and permanent impairment.
