She continued to have ankle swelling with activity after the surgical procedure and her treatment were finished.

Jury Trial

In one of the first post-pandemic jury trials held in Greenville County, Tom served as sole trial counsel for our client, resulting in the jury returning a verdict in favor of our client for $150,000.00.

The case was settled without litigation.
