Taylor Scott Braithwaite

Taylor is a trial lawyer. He’s also an attack helicopter pilot in the SC Army National Guard and served 14 years in the Marine Corps as a JAG and Civil Affairs Officer before that.

These roles might seem at odds with one another, but the maneuver mindset and principles instilled by each inform Taylor’s approach to every case.

Taylor and his wife, Jennifer, grew up in the CSRA. After graduating from The Citadel in 2007, Taylor commissioned in the United States Marine Corps and attended law school at Mercer University under the Marine Corps’ PLC-Law program.

Upon graduating and gaining admission to the South Carolina Bar in 2010, Taylor served four years as an active-duty Judge Advocate. In 2014, Taylor left active duty for the opportunity to serve as a Civil Affairs Team Leader in the Marine Corps Reserve and return home to Aiken, where he joined his father’s practice (Braithwaite Timmerman, LLC).

Taylor’s private practice began with a firm foundation in insurance defense, representing insurance carriers throughout South Carolina and the Augusta, Georgia Metro Area. However, Taylor quickly discovered a preference for seeking justice on behalf of injured claimants in personal injury, wrongful death, and medical malpractice actions and ultimately decided to establish a firm to focus on these cases in 2021.

At the same time, Taylor accepted a unique opportunity to transition to the South Carolina Army National Guard and become an AH-64E Attack Helicopter Pilot – a role Taylor continues to fill as a reserve Guardsman today.
