Ever since Reese Joye opened the Joye Law Firm in North Charleston in 1968, they have been fighting to help people face legal challenges. Whether a personal injury was suffered at work, on the highways, or due to a defective product, members of the Joye Law Firm have been there for thousands of clients. The firm lawyers, who have combined litigation experience of more than 130 years, possess institutional knowledge and the legal abilities to help ensure that clients get a fair recovery when they have suffered injuries. The attorneys at Joye Law Firm understand how the insurance companies work; most of the firm’s lawyers began their legal careers working for corporate clients and insurance companies, defending the types of cases they now handle for their clients.
In 1997, the Joye Law Firm received national acclaim when it represented a family that lost a child as the result of a defective door latch on a minivan. The jury returned a verdict of $262.5 million, which was the largest verdict ever against an automobile manufacturer in the United States at that time. This verdict remains the largest personal injury verdict in South Carolina. The firm also has won large monetary awards for clients who were injured due to untrained and unskilled drivers of commercial vehicles; various types of defects in automobiles, trucks, and minivans; and on-the-job injuries. They also actively assist clients who have been injured as the result of dangerous prescription medications.
Members of the Joye Law Firm handled hundreds of racial discrimination claims against life insurance companies that wrongly used discriminatory practices in establishing premiums. Additionally, they handle other claims involving the improper denial of insurance benefits, including disability and life insurance claims. The firm is committed to assisting clients who have experienced significant monetary losses because of investment and brokerage firms’ improper handling of client accounts.
The Joye Law Firm is established as a leader in the area of mass torts litigation and has retained a fulltime mass torts coordinator. The firm also has multiple full-time investigators who spent over 50 years in law enforcement with the South Carolina Highway Patrol, and the City of Charleston Police Department, as well as a full-time information technology specialist who utilizes the latest computer technology and prepares various computer-generated graphics for use during complex trials.
Joye Law Firm has 10 experienced attorneys and more than 30 paralegals and other staff members. Their commitment to excellence is confirmed by the receipt of Martindale-Hubbell’s highest legal rating (AV), and they are one of the few law firms in the country that is a member of the Leaders’ Forum of the American Association for Justice.
