The central philosophy guiding this individual is to do right by the client, which involves various responsibilities. Being responsive to clients is the foremost priority; when clients reach out, the goal is always to return their calls by the end of the day. This practice helps clients feel heard, even if they may not always see the efforts being made on their cases. Paying attention to clients is a crucial part of effective representation.
Doing right by the client also means working hard and, at times, delivering difficult truths. Often, cases do not progress as desired, and it is essential to be upfront and honest with clients when setbacks occur. Ultimately, the objective in every case is to achieve a favorable result for the client. Whether obtaining the compensation they deserve or securing another preferred outcome, that is the ultimate goal in providing proper representation.
A recent example of this commitment to professional development includes participating in three continuing legal education seminars over the past ten days. Two of these were held at the South Carolina Bar Convention, and one took place at the University of South Carolina Law School. While engaging in these seminars and presentations can be time-consuming, it is rewarding for this individual, as it allows for networking with peers and furthering their own education while preparing to educate others.
Additionally, this individual enjoys writing for the South Carolina Association for Justice Bulletin, which they have edited for several years. Although it may not directly drive a significant amount of business, the work is intellectually fulfilling and rewarding.
