He also co-founded Winthrop’s chapter of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) and was a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity. Winthrop is also where Joel met his wife, Marina Hamilton.

Joel Received his Juris Doctor from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in Cleveland, Ohio in 2009. He served as a student ambassador to prospective students as well as student representative to the Cleveland Bar Association. Joel was named to the Dean’s list for academic achievement and graduated with a Concentration in Business Law. Outside of the classroom, Joel co-founded and served as the Vice President of Operations for the Cleveland chapter of Minds Matter. Minds Matter assists underprivileged, high-achieving, inner-city high school students in gaining admission to four year colleges and universities. Minds Matter has quickly become one of the most respected and exciting non-profit organizations in Cleveland attracting exceptional students to the program as well as motivated young professional volunteers and distinguished board members. Joel received the President’s Volunteer Service Award from President Barack Obama for his efforts.

During his sophomore year at Winthrop, Joel went to work as an intern with the Rinehart, Matthews, Schiller, Shaw and Reeves Law Firm in Rock Hill. It was during his time here that Joel found his passion for the law and helping injured people. It was during Joel’s first year at Case when Mr. Schiller gave Joel the opportunity to clerk for his firm. Joel jumped at the chance and made the drive from Cleveland, Ohio to Rock Hill every Fall, Christmas, Spring and Summer break to work and gain invaluable experience in serving others. Thanks to this experience, Joel began his practice in 2009 with five years of working alongside Mr. Schiller as an intern and then law clerk.

In addition to practicing law, Joel has served on the board for the United Way of Lancaster County as well as on the leadership committee for the York County Republican Party. Joel and Marina enjoy hiking, camping and traveling as well as the shooting sports and actively rescue and foster dogs until they can be place with a “forever home”. The couple resides in Rock Hill where they are active in the community.

• -Luecendor J. “I was in a car accident on August 31, 2013. My son also was in an accident on the school bus. I was very devastated. So, I contacted Schiller Law Firm and they came to my rescue. Schiller Law Firm is great. They make sure that you understand and listen to your situation. Customer Service is wonderful at all times inside the office and on the telephone. They make you feel comfortable. Schiller Law Firm always makes time for their clients. I made the right choice by choosing Schiller Law Firm to solve my cases in a timely manner. You can always trust Schiller Law Firm to get to the bottom of the situation of your case.” -Matt H. “In January, 2014, my father and I were in a serious vehicular accident which thankfully resulted only in minor injuries, and my vehicle was deemed a total loss. Schiller & Hamilton, LLC was highly recommended to us by Dr. Martin’s Chiropractic Office in Bluffton, SC and provided service to my father and me right away. Schiller & Hamilton, LLC has been there every step of the way and has been there for me and my father in more ways than one. They are fast acting and their communication with us has been awesome to say the least. I would recommend Schiller & Hamilton, LLC to any of my close friends and especially my personal family, and they will be the first people I call if I ever need advice or help. Thank you Schiller & Hamilton, LLC for all you have done and continue to do.” -Crystal B. “It was a pleasure to work with the staff at Schiller & Hamilton. They were always willing to go above and beyond what was expected. I sincerely appreciated their professionalism and dedication in the handling of my case. Thank you for a job well done.” -Evelyn and James J. “The attention that my husband’s case received from Schiller & Hamilton was far more than we could have expected or hoped for. They made us feel like we mattered, we were not just another case. I would recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney. We were so happy with the way they handled my husband’s workman’s comp case that we are now using them for his social security case.”
