Billy Walker
Retired Partner - Of Counsel
Over the course of his illustrious 50 year career, Billy Walker zealously represented clients in all phases of complex personal injury litigation, becoming one of South Carolina's top-rated personal injury attorneys.
Focusing predominantly on burn trauma resulting from explosions of natural gas, propane, and gasoline as well as scald burn injuries and electrical burn injuries, Walker took great passion in rectifying the devastation these events have on the victim's everyday life.
A true trial lawyer, over the course of his long career, Walker worked tirelessly to provide his clients with the attention and care their cases deserve while protecting their rights and getting just compensation for their suffering. In doing so, Walker successfully obtained several 7-figure and 8-figure settlements and verdicts on behalf of his clients.
Dedicated to serving his community both professionally and personally, Walker has acted as the President of the Lexington Economic Development Association for over ten years. In 2001, he was elected to serve as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Newberry College, his alma mater.
