Anslee has known from a young age that looking out for others and the legal system was something she was passionate about. In 2016, when Anslee was a teenager, she watched her younger brother suffer a traumatic brain injury during a middle school football game. He lost his memory, his ability to walk, and his ability to talk. When her family hired a personal injury attorney, Anslee became deeply involved in every step of the legal process. Five years later, during her sophomore year of college, Anslee sat in a courtroom for five days and watched a jury deliver the verdict her brother deserved, which changed everything for her. Anslee has felt the impact of going through the personal injury claim process herself. She saw how the experience of a favorable verdict brought peace and closure for her brother and family. After that, she switched her major, setting out to carry on that same impact. Anslee ambitiously graduated ahead of her peers a year early and went on to law school. Today, Anslee brings that same relentless energy to every client she works with. Her academic background in public health, combined with years of personal and academic research into brain injuries and concussion protocols, gives her a unique edge in cases where the physical and legal complexities intersect. She knows firsthand what it feels like to be on the other side of this process. She has felt what most people do after being injured in an accident: waiting, wondering, and hoping that justice will actually show up. That lived experience shapes the way she fights for the people who trust her with their cases. Originally from Richmond, Kentucky, Anslee has called South Carolina home since 2016. She met her now husband, Alexander, a Greenville native, during her freshman year at USC, and after completing law school, the two made Greenville their permanent home alongside their three dogs: Molly, Palmer, and Lily. Outside the office, Anslee stays active and loves being outdoors. You might find her on the trails at Caesars Head or Table Rock, or cheering loudly for the South Carolina Gamecocks or Duke Blue Devils. She is passionate about giving back to her community, particularly through organizations that invest in health, well-being, and the next generation.
