Young Lawyer Spotlight of Andrew Walden

Andrew Walden is an associate attorney in Womble Bond Dickinson’s Charleston office, where he works in the Business Litigation practice group and focuses primarily on construction litigation and other business disputes. Andrew previously worked in small firm with a general civil practice and more recently for a regional insurance defense firm defending workers’ compensation claims. Andrew has served on the board of directors for MUSC’s Storm Eye Institute and on the leadership team for the American Heart Association’s Heart Ball. Andrew and his wife Rachel have a two-year-old son and one-year-old daughter. By any measure, his plate was full.  
But Andrew has found time to serve his country as well. Last summer, Andrew embarked on a journey to join the U.S. Army’s JAG Corps. This required application and acceptance into a crowded and competitive field, and then completion of six weeks of basic training where he obtained necessary military skills and conditioning at Fort Benning, Georgia, and eleven weeks of military law training at the JAG’s Legal Center and School located at the University of Virginia’s campus in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he graduated in the top 10 percent of his class and received Commandant’s Honors for his academic performance. Andrew now belongs to the 12th Legal Operations Detachment (LOD) U.S. Army Reserves, JAG Corps. At least one weekend a month, Andrew travels to Fort Jackson where he assists the corps in providing general legal services to active and reserve soldiers. Additionally, the 12th LOD’s mission is to support U.S. soldiers stationed on the Korean Peninsula. Next year, Andrew will travel to Korea to provide in-person legal services to those U.S. soldiers serving abroad.  
Andrew graduated from College of Charleston in 2009, where he majored in Business Administration and Finance and was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha. He graduated from Charleston School of Law in 2012. He and his family live in Mt. Pleasant and are members of St. Michael’s Church.

Jeremy then interned in the Thirteenth Circuit Solicitor’s Office for a year before attending the University of South Carolina School of Law.  During law school, Jeremy was an active member of the USC Mock Tr

Continuing Legal Exploration

First, a confession: although I was born and raised in McCormick County, I have done a terrible job of exploring the area surrounding McCormick. I have explored Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and even Maryland. For whatever reason, however, McCormick County and the areas adjacent have remained a blind spot in my worldview.   Greenwood also remained obscured by my ignorance, despite the fact that I pass through it multiple times each month. Enter the 2019 Blues, BBQ, & Bar CLE hosted by the South Carolina Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Although the CLE was targeted at criminal defense attorneys, the sessions ran the gamut from appellate practice to trial technique, judicial ethics to effective use of exhibits. Most importantly, the CLE coincided with Greenwood’s Festival of Discovery, an annual tradition inviting the best pit masters in the Southeast to descend upon Greenwood to spread the Gospel of Smoked Meat. On the day of the CLE, I wasn’t sure what to exp
