About Jeremy
Biography
Every day, I represent employees in my community who have been treated unfairly or illegally in the workplace, whether it be in the form of discrimination, harassment, unpaid wages, or unfair employment contracts. I take pride in empowering workers who were wrongly terminated, harassed, or experienced discrimination on the basis of age, race, sexual orientation, pregnancy, disability, medical condition, or religion.
Greenville is my hometown. I was born and raised in the Upstate, and I'm proud to be a member of the Greenville Bar as I serve my community both as a lawyer and as a citizen.
