Matthew Christian

A graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Law, Matt Christian is dedicated to making corporations see his clients as people, rather than claim numbers. As a member of the American Association for Justice Nursing Home Litigation Section and The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care (formerly NCCNHR), Matt strives to make long term care facilities safer for residents. Matt's nursing home practice coincides well with his other areas of practice including medical negligence and personal injury. Matt is currently Chair of the South Carolina Bar Practice and Procedure Committee and has been nominated as one of the Top 40 under 40 in South Carolina. "When your job hinges on saving a company money, it's easy to forget that each claim represents a real person with a real injury. Instead of trying to figure out whether the amount of a claim is reasonable, the corporate attorney's job is to find a way to deny every claim - whether or not it's valid."
