About Jescelyn
Jescelyn “Jes” Spitz joined Rikard & Protopapas in 2018 as a talented litigator with experience in many areas of civil litigation. She is a skilled court room attorney having tried cases and represented clients throughout South Carolina. Clients appreciate Jes’ open and honest communication and her ability to set realistic outcomes. She advocates fiercely on her clients’ behalf because she knows the toll the death of a loved one or a personal injury case can take on her clients and their families. While in law school, Jes served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Federal Courts Law Review, an electronic law review dedicated to legal scholarship relating to the federal courts and edited in conjunction with the FMJA (Federal Magistrate Judges Association). Jes also completed more than one hundred hours of pro bono work with the City of Charleston Prosecutor’s office and spent time working for South Carolina District Court Judge Richard M. Gergel. Following graduation, she served as law clerk to the Honorable J. Cordell Maddox, Jr. She then joined a well-regarded South Carolina based defense firm, primarily representing insurance companies. Her insurance defense background comes into play daily as she represents individuals, who have been injured, making claims against insurance companies. Jes grew up in Sumter, South Carolina. She and her husband, Jonathan, now call Columbia home along with their son and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
