H. Jeff McLeod has had a long and varied law practice. His life experiences have given him a different prospective, made his legal work more interesting but, more that, that experience has made a difference when helping other solve their life’s problems.
Jeff’s family has long been a staple in the construction industry as his father was a general contractor for many years in Anderson SC. Prior to attending the Citadel, Jeff got his boots muddy working on his father’s many projects. After a stint in the Marines and a MBA from East Carolina’s Business School, Jeff was involved in residential development as the Manager of Management Information Service (MIS) (a/k/a bean counter) at Boise Cascade in the Metro New York. Then more land and golf development in the Grand Strand area of South Carolina as the Chief Financial Officer (a/k/a accountant) of Wedgefield Plantation. Jeff was also involved in home construction and brokerage for a number of years in Anderson, prior to attending law school at USC. Upon graduating, Jeff started his Anderson law practice in 1984.
We are a general practice law firm. We see law as simply a way of working out the problems that come from living in this world. Our broad prospective and wide experience gives us the edge in helping you solve your life’s problems. The majority of our practice is Social Security Disability, Worker’s Compensation, Auto Accidents, and the ever present Divorce/Custody/Support law. We still do a bit of construction law, such as mechanic’s liens (collections) and on-the-job injuries. (We must miss those “muddy boots” of yesteryears.)
We appreciate the unusual cases, like the probate case that involved an order to exhume the decedent (“daddy”) to prove paternity; the worker who injured her wrist while repetitively testing condoms, pulling them over a steel mandrel; or the murder client who, literally, still had blood on his hands when I met him at the jail. We have taken such diverse cases as worker’s comp, gambling and lemon autos all the way to the South Carolina Supreme Court (or the Court of Appeals).
On the Disability front, we like to win at the Hearing Level but we don’t shy away from taking a deserving Disability case to the Federal District Court. Often overlooked is pain itself, depression, reading level vs grade level, combination of all your impairments/problems and how your doctor rates your problems. We seek out these overlooked issues and then develop the evidence to proof your case. Appeals are not our favorite pass-time because of the required “briefs” (legal “briefs” are painfully and anything but brief) but we are always willing to do so, when we feel the facts and the law have not been dealt with fairly. You don’t win these cases based on good-looks, luck and stories of woe but rather with documented evidence of your ills which is what we do. |
