As a young lawyer, Michael spent several years working for two of Atlanta’s premier insurance defense firms. He represented locally and nationally-known trucking companies, automobile insurers, and premises liability insurers in defense of lawsuits filed by accident victims. When Mike made a career move to the plaintiff’s side, his tenure in the large law firm environment and representation of prominent insurance companies provided Mike the experience necessary to obtain hundreds of favorable settlements and verdicts for his personal injury clients. After a decade of practicing law in Atlanta, Michael and his wife Bren decided it was time to move back to Bren’s hometown of Greenville, SC so they could help accident victims in the Upstate area and be a part of a beautiful, growing city. Michael’s experience in Atlanta’s fast-paced environment gives him a big advantage, as he has seen every type of injury and fact pattern and knows how to maximize the value of every case. His verdicts and settlements confirm his ability to get the most out of your personal injury case.

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.

Timothy “Tim” Nicolette became an attorney because his father believed he would be a great one. That kind of faith has a way of shaping a person. Tim has spent his career working to prove his father right, and along the way, he found something that made the work feel personal: personal injury law. His first job out of law school was with a personal injury firm, and it didn’t take long to understand why this area of law matters so much. The people who walk through the door have already been through something hard. Then they run into an insurance company that treats them like a number rather than a neighbor. Tim stays in this fight because he believes those people deserve better, and because he knows how to go up against the giants on their behalf. Tim is the youngest of five siblings, all of whom share the same first initial: Travis, Trey, Tara, Taylor, and Tim. In November 2025, he married his wife Ashley, and he’s quick to say it was the greatest day of his life. He credits her love and support as a foundation for everything he’s been able to accomplish. When Tim isn’t working a case, you might find him at Hall’s Chophouse, which he’ll recommend to anyone who asks for a great meal in Greenville without hesitation.
