Construction defects
Construction defects can create health and safety hazards. They can also cost a property owner significant amounts of money. If your building project has been plagued by poor workmanship, defective materials or bad design, you have recourse.
Employment and labor law
There are state and federal laws that protect employees in the workplace. If you believe that your employer has violated employment law, contact an attorney right away to learn about your rights.
Lemon law
If you purchase a car with defects that cannot be repaired, you may be entitled to compensation under South Carolina’s so-called Lemon Law. Consult a knowledgeable lawyer to learn if you are eligible to file a claim.
Government benefits
Workers’ compensation is a short-term program that replaces lost income and pays for medical expenses if you have been injured in the workplace. Social Security disability provides payments to people who are permanently disabled or ill and unable to provide for themselves. We help people obtain the benefits to which they are entitled under these programs, guiding them through the red tape and advising them throughout the process.
