About Brian
Biography
My practice is devoted to the defense of employers and insurance carriers in workers’ compensation and Longshore claims and all extensions of the Longshore Act. I practice throughout the states of South Carolina and Georgia in the workers’ compensation context, and my Longshore and Defense Base Act practice extends nationwide. I handle all facets of these claims from the initial reporting of an accident and its investigation, through the discovery process to trial, and any appellate proceedings thereafter.
My clients include employers, manufacturers, carriers, shippers, maritime employers, stevedoring companies and defense contractors. I have been called upon to provide legal counsel in claims involving complex jurisdictional and coverage issues. My firm is designated statewide counsel for several manufacturers and stevedoring companies. The ability to practice law in South Carolina and Georgia, along with my Longshore claims experience, allows me to sort out the myriad of issues that arise from the concurrent jurisdiction that exists in South Carolina. My maritime practice includes all extensions of the Longshore Act, including the Defense Base Act.
