J. Edward Bell, III, senior partner and founder of Bell Legal Group in Georgetown, SC, is a practicing trial attorney specializing in complex civil litigation.  He distinguished himself early in his career in the demanding auto torts field and has become a top litigator at the national level in the fields of automotive safety and automotive defects, police and jail misconduct, personal injury, medical malpractice and most recently environmental law.   
 
Ed's unique approach to trial work lead him to establish a Vehicle Safety Research Center, where trained experts conduct automobile defect investigations, develop exhibits, and explore the complex nature of the issues surrounding auto tort cases.  The experts at the Center assist attorneys at the Bell Legal Group with technical information needed during more complex trial situations.  The Bell Legal Group is the only firm in the nation that staffs engineers and scientists dedicated to research and development of alternative safety designs for automobiles. This type of intricate testing is usually done only at the federal level, through the National Highway Safety Administration.
 
Ed, along and Bell Legal Group have been at the forefront of jury research and ultimately helped found the Arvada Jury Project, which was a research project that analyzed the adverse political impact on trial lawyers and the jury attitudes.  This project drastically changed the way trial attorneys present their cases to juries.

Ed is listed in The American Trial Lawyers Association's prestigious Top 100 Attorneys in America, and recently received the prestigious SC Lawyers Weekly 2010 Leadership in Law Award.   He has tried over 300 major cases throughout the United States and is reported to have one of the highest win/loss records in the country.  He holds the record for the largest medical malpractice verdict in Georgia and the largest products liability verdict in New York.  His unique and compelling presence in the courtroom serves his clients well.
 
Ed is a member of the South Carolina Bar Association, South Carolina Trial Lawyers Association, American Bar Association, and American Association of Justice.   He is admitted to practice before the South Carolina Supreme Court, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the United States Supreme Court, and has tried cases nationwide.
 
Ed lives in DeBordieu Colony, SC, and when not at trial, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Dawn, and four children: Gigi Bell of Atlanta, Virginia Bell Flynn of Centerville, Virginia, Caroline Bell Stowe of Virginia Beach, and Jeb of DeBordieu.  He remains active in the Georgetown community volunteering and serving the Methodist church, Helping Hands, Habitat for Humanity, and numerous schools and youth programs while serving on several non-profit boards including the Mission Society and Richmont Graduate University, both in Atlanta.
