About Colin
South Carolina Trial Attorney and Counselor At Law
After a decade of litigating high-profile corporate cases in Washington, DC at one of the top firms in the country, Skadden Arps, I moved to South Carolina to leverage my complex litigation experience on behalf of people who need it the most. I get tremendous professional satisfaction in helping good people fight and win against bad actors, large institutions, and insurance companies unwilling to do the right thing. Since landing in Mount Pleasant six years ago, I have been litigating some of the most challenging and complex injury, wrongful death, and civil rights cases in South Carolina. And I have recovered millions of dollars for my clients that otherwise would have gone unpaid.
Colin is a trial-tested litigator who represents individuals and families in a wide range of negligence, civil rights, and fraud cases. He has successfully represented clients in complex litigation involving novel issues of law and has litigated legal issues all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Because the nature of his practice often requires him to tackle difficult legal problems other lawyers shy away from, he brings to each case a level of determination and creativity to help seek out a just result for his clients.
Prior to starting this firm, Colin spent almost a decade litigating complex civil and criminal matters at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in Washington, D.C, where he handled dozens of high-profile cases for individuals and large multi-national companies. While at Skadden, Colin successfully litigated numerous fraud cases brought under the False Claims Act and other federal statutes, including corporate fraud cases. He and his family then relocated to Mount Pleasant where he began representing plaintiffs in complex civil cases at a well-regarded trial firm.
Colin served in the U.S. Navy as an Intelligence Specialist, providing terrorism and threat assessments for naval forces transiting hostile regions. Before that, he traded financial derivative instruments on the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and on various worldwide exchanges.
Colin is active in charitable and community endeavors as well, including serving on the board of directors of the Oda Foundation, a non-profit organization that develops health and education initiatives for impoverished children, and as former President of the Law Council of Washington and Lee University.
He is also a private, instrument-rated pilot based in Mount Pleasant who enjoys flying around South Carolina with his family when not practicing law.
