Scott Anderson has been an attorney since 1989, and is licensed to practice in North Carolina and South Carolina. Because of that, he can often be found working and meeting clients in any one of the Grimes Teich Anderson offices including in Greenville, South Carolina or Asheville, North Carolina.
In the first five years of his practice, he focused on insurance defense and criminal defense representing several auto insurance companies and workers compensation companies as well as the S.C Uninsured Employers Fund. He regularly was lead counsel in jury trials and administrative hearings for these clients. In his criminal defense practice, Scott tried multiple cases in matters ranging from murder to criminal sexual conduct to driving while under the influence.
In 1994, Scott's practice transitioned to the representation of injured people in civil trials and workers compensation hearings. Since that time, he has only represented injured people.
