As Columbia’s premier nightlife and hospitality hub, Five Points sees a heavy, highly active law enforcement presence, particularly during late-night and weekend hours. When an arrest or investigation occurs here, the state’s mechanism immediately goes to work compiling evidence. Officers rely heavily on your panic, your exhaustion, and the very common mistake of trying to talk your way out of handcuffs or a citation. They aren’t asking questions to clear your name; they are asking questions to secure a conviction.

37.5M – We represented a 26 year old man from Aiken County. He was operating his vehicle out of state when he crashed into the rear of an 18 wheeler stopped in the middle of the interstate. Our attorneys worked to prove that the accident started months before the accident. We examined the truck, the maintenance records, driving logs, and the vehicle data recorder. After extensive discovery, we were able to show that the 18 wheeler was not broken down in the roadway because of a mechanical failure that day but because of shoddy maintenance. We proved this collision occurred because the trucking company engaged in a pattern of conduct that could only end with injury to others on the roadways. The resolution will not repair the catastrophic brain and physical injuries he suffered. Fortunately, we were able to secure a result for this family that guarantees he will have the best care moving forward and every chance at improvement no matter how slight.
