About Michael

Jeffcoat is a native of the Columbia area, where his family first set down roots before the Revolutionary War. His parents were deeply committed to public service, and it had an influence on him at an early age. He recalls making the decision in the fourth grade to become a lawyer. After receiving a B.A. degree in Political Economy and Philosophy at Wofford College in 1994, Jeffcoat went straight to the University of South Carolina School of Law. While there, in addition to his studies, he participated in Moot Court, the University’s trial competition, clerked in two U.S. Attorney’s Offices (Columbia and Seattle) and also the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office. Mr. Jeffcoat completed his Juris Doctor degree in 1997. He launched his career by taking a job at a large corporate Columbia law firm, where he mostly defended companies in environmental regulatory matters. He quickly grew tired of representing large companies and in 1999 ventured out to “hang a shingle” and launch the plaintiff’s personal injury practice that he had long envisioned. Mr. Jeffcoat’s practice areas include catastrophic car accidents, wrongful death, nursing home neglect and abuse, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, dog bites, slip and fall accidents, product liability, workers’ compensation, and medical malpractice. Mr. Jeffcoat’s commitment to his profession extends beyond his own practice. He is a State Delegate to the American Association for Justice, a longtime board member of the South Carolina Association for Justice, and a former member of the South Carolina Bar’s House of Delegates.
