About R.
I grew up in the mountains of western North Carolina, where the individual values of hard work, fair play and justice are still honored and taught. I soon learned those same values are shared by my fellow residents of the Palmetto State, where I have lived in the Greenville/Spartanburg, Charleston and Columbia areas since moving to South Carolina in 1988.
I graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1996. Following graduation, I served as a law clerk at the South Carolina Supreme Court, where I clerked for the Honorable John H. Waller, Jr., and the Honorable E.C. Burnett, III. I also worked as a staff attorney at the Supreme Court. At the University of South Carolina School of Law, I taught legal writing, analysis and research to first-year law students.
In private practice, I have worked at a small law firm and in a solo practice, where I represented individual plaintiffs in a wide variety of cases, including cases involving all types of personal injury, catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, product liability, and workers' compensation.
I also have worked at one of the premier defense law firms in South Carolina. I represented Fortune 500 companies and Columbia area businesses -- including financial institutions, hospital systems and insurance companies -- in class action lawsuits, complex civil litigation and appeals.
Before attending law school, I worked several years as a newspaper reporter, writing about all types of people and events. I was a reporter for the Spartanburg Herald-Journal (SC), the Summerville Journal Scene (SC) and the Morganton News Herald (NC). I wrote about crime stories, trials, local government, hospitals and healthcare issues, and environmental issues, to name only a few. As a reporter, I had the privilege of meeting people from all walks of life, and writing about the events affecting their lives, on a daily basis.
No lawyer can promise you a particular result in a given case. To do so not only is unethical, but also absurd. But what we can promise at Proffitt & Cox is that, working within the law and the rules, we have a dedicated determination to win your case.
