About John
Biography
I have been practicing law for nearly 30 years, primarily handling workers comp and personal injury cases for injured persons. I am licensed in State and Federal Courts in South Carolina and Maryland.
During my last year in law school, and immediately afterwards, I served as law clerk fo the Chief Administrative Judge for the Seventh Judicial Circuit in Maryland, before moving to South Carolina. For the past 19 years, I have served as the South Carolina Workers Compensation Panel member for the Professional Hockey Players Association, representing hockey players in South Carolina in injury claims. I have served as an adjunct law professor at both the Citadel and Charleston School of Law, teaching legal research and writing, oral advocacy and a course on Law and Society, which I developed. For many years, I served as counsel by appointment from the State for people involuntarily committed at their initial hearings.
After running my own firm for 10 years in Charleston, I joined the Joye Law Firm to open and manage their first branch office in Myrtle Beach, where I am currently the managing attorney. I have handled cases throughout South Carolina, focusing primarily on workers comp and injury cases. In 2015, I was elected to the House of Delegates of the South Carolina Bar, for the Fifteenth Circuit. In 2017, I was elected to the Board of Governors of the South Carolina Bar, Region III for a three year term.
I still enjoy the challenges and rewards of the practice of law and look forward to many more years of helping those injured at work or by the negligence of others.

Didn't know what to expect
John and his staff where excellent. I was hurt on the job and was having trouble with my medical bills getting paid. I went to Joy Law Firm and spoke with John.
