Since April of 2004, Christopher A. Skipper has been the sole practitioner of the Skipper Law Firm, LLC. The office is conveniently located in Mount Pleasant just off of I-526 at 613 Long Point Road. Chris focuses his practice in the areas of Criminal Defense in Federal, State, Magistrate and Municipal Courts, representation of injured workers before the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission, and Personal Injury Law.
Born and raised in Georgetown and Horry Counties, Chris began to work in the Charleston legal community while a student at the College of Charleston in 1990. After graduating from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1996, Chris returned to the Lowcountry and went to work as an assistant solicitor in the Berkeley County Solicitor's Office. He prosecuted cases for an additional four years in the Charleston County Solicitor's Office. Throughout his six years as a prosecutor, Chris handled hundreds of cases that involved crimes from Driving Under Suspension to Murder.
Prior to opening the Skipper Law Firm, LLC, Chris spent a little over a year practicing in the area of workers' compensation insurance defense. The experience he gained as an attorney for the insurance companies provided excellent insight in to how they handle claims and is a valuable asset in his representation of injured workers before the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission.

He can be reached at or and would be happy to schedule a free consultation to discuss how he can assist with your legal problem.
