Motley Rice is pleased to announce that two of the firm’s Mt. Pleasant, S.C.-based, associates have been promoted to member attorneys. The attorneys selected have experience working in the firm’s various practice areas, including securities fraud, antitrust litigation, consumer fraud, and representing victims of mesothelioma and asbestos exposure.
“I have watched these talented attorneys grow and fine-tune their skills into the excellent litigators they are today,” said Motley Rice co-founder Joe Rice. “I am honored to recognize them as member attorneys for their work and look forward to seeing them continue to develop their talents at Motley Rice.”
The lawyers promoted are:
