Mr. Treywick litigated my case. He did his homework well and that work allowed us to settle my case satisfactorily. The settlement I got was within the range I told him that I wanted to put in my pocket. He made it happen. He was forthcoming with the entire process and informed me on what to expect at each step that had me interacting with the defense. His hard work concluded with my getting a sizable settlement.
Represents owners of residential and commercial property who have claims against contractors, developers and engineers based on deficient design, construction, planning, and performance of the building or infrastructure.
Represents people on all sides of disputes involving probate and non-probate assets of the recently deceased: real property, cash accounts, life insurance policies, individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and 401(k)s, annuities, and related asset types.
Represents angel investors and others providing startup-capital or build-out capital to closely held corporations, and whose investment was solicited on the basis of incomplete or inaccurate disclosure of material information by the company.
Ben Traywick is a trial lawyer who represents clients in matters relating to personal injury and wrongful death; defective construction and contractor/developer negligence; investment fraud and money manager negligence/misrepresentation; probate and contested will claims, and various other matters. He has been lead counsel in more than a dozen trials seen through to verdict, in both state and federal courts in South Carolina.Â
Practicing law in his hometown of Charleston, Ben has a lifetime's worth of great friends and his entire family: parents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and his own lovely wife and two little girls. Yet unlike many "locals", Ben embraces the wave of new arrivals the Charleston area has seen in recent years from all over the country. In his view the new folks bring new energy and new ideas which keep the scene here vivid and interesting. In recent years Ben has represented clients hailing from Washington and California, Massachusetts and New York, and of course many from across South Carolina.
Outside of work Ben reads as many good books as possible, wets a fishing line here and there, and hones his chronically mediocre home improvement skills. He serves his neighborhood civic club as its treasurer and attorney, his church on its vestry and as lector, his town on its Historical Commission, and his colleagues in the South Carolina Bar in its House of Delegates.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"In the past decade, Ben and I have been on opposite sides of cases numerous times, and from both sides of the aisle. Ben has always been professional and friendly, but also firm in his representation of his clients. He practices law the way we are supposed to, and it shows in the results he obtains for his clients."
Personal injury Attorney | Jul 28
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Ben is uniquely qualified to handle injury matters due to his having worked on both sides of injury claims. Like most good trial attorneys, Ben started his career in a defense firm prior to establishing his own firm which now assists those harmed by the negligence or intentional misconduct of others. He knows the tactics insurance companies use to limit the recoveries clients deserve. Ben has the advantage of being a local who can use is contacts to assist his clients and has the intelligence and drive to maximize results for his clients."
