A belated congratulations to Addy-Lee on passing the Georgia bar.

Addy spent time with our firm traveling across South Carolina with me to hearings, depositions, and client meetings. She handled whatever needed handling and did it well. She saw a lot of litigation up close, and I have no doubt it will serve her as she starts her career.

Congratulations, Addy. We’re proud of you.

I’m proud to congratulate Will Kulp on passing the South Carolina Bar.

As a law clerk here, Will spent hundreds of hours in the evidence. He reviewed documents, built timelines, and laid the foundations our cases stand on. That work doesn’t make the headlines. Nobody sees it when a verdict comes in or a case settles. But every one of those results started with someone like Will sitting down with the file and putting the story together piece by piece.
