A Medical Perspective Most Firms Don’t Have

Dr. Debora Brown, PT, DPT, brings over 30+ years of clinical experience and 22 years of teaching in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) into every serious injury case we handle.

Her insight allows us to understand the depth and magnitude of injuries —giving us the ability to project future care needs and build stronger, more complete claims. This often adds to the value of the settlements.

  • 1Motorcycle: Head, brain, spinal injuries….
  • 2With motorcycle, golf cart and bike injuries, months of rehabilitation and specialized care is a very real possibility. Where such such injuries are catastrophic, you need a trusted, skilled and experienced attorney to personally lead and direct your legal matter. You need the attorney whose name is on the building, not just on the door, or even the desk. There is no margin for error.

Selecting the wrong, inexperienced attorney, can literally cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

If the defendant is also being criminally prosecuted for the severe injuries they have inflicted, we add the unique element of having 30+ years of courtroom experience on the criminal side, so we can act as the liaison with the prosecution for the felony DUI, reckless homicide or hit and run. We promise to be by your side for the years it will take to prosecute the defendant.

We will advocate for the family and push for the appropriate justice. We have stood in open court many times in the last few years and pushed to have active prison time for criminal defendants who have been responsible for the death of our clients.
