About Brian
Biography
My law practice began as a clerk for the South Carolina Circuit Court. I worked for Judge James C. "Jimmy" Williams for a year before transitioning to private practice. My first three years of private practice focused on Criminal Defense, particularly DUI Defense.
As time progressed my Family Law Practice conitnued to grow and consumed more of my time. The joy I find in helping my clients with their domestic issues meant that those same clients reffered more and more friends and family members to me and my firm. As a result, I only handle DUI or criminal defense case for prior clients or refferals. My true love and passion is in our state's family courts.
There is little else more important than our families and our children. The toll a separation and divorce can take on an individual's emotional, physical and spiritual health demands that they can trust, respect and bond with their lawyer. I work hard to establish that connection with each person I represent and will conitnue to do it so long as I practice law.

Brian helped and continues to help me
Brian represented me in my divorce. He helped me navigate the horrible divorce process and didn't sugar coat things. Without Brian I would have been taken advantage of by my ex. He may be busy at times with larger cases, but he would always get back to me in a timely manner and advise me of my rights...
