Focus areas

While Mia Maness Law works closely with individual clients and law firms to resolve a wide range of problems, here are five focus areas that the firm frequently encounters:

General litigation.  The firm represents individuals and business clients involved in litigation and civil disputes.  Mia Maness has more than 25 years of experience in litigation for plaintiffs and defendants.  Maness is well-versed in the mediation process and can take your case to trial if a settlement isn’t reached.

Personal injury.  Whatever kind of incident may have resulted in an injury — vehicular, construction, industrial, railroad, or product-related – the firm will work with you to pursue compensation for your injuries.  Mia Maness has worked with personal injury clients for 16 years.  She knows what steps to take to protect your rights  through the claim and litigation process.

Federal court experience.  Mia Maness clerked for a federal judge after graduating from law school and has regularly practiced in the federal courts since entering private practice in 1991.  Attorneys often prefer state court to federal court because the differences between the two can provide unexpected stumbling blocks.  Mia Maness Law can help law firms with limited federal court experience navigate through the federal court system as they prepare a client’s case for trial.

Trial preparation.  Mia Maness Law works with attorneys preparing their cases for trial in the state and federal courts of South Carolina.  Mia Maness can help formulate a strategy for a case that has taken an unexpected turn, undertake legal research that a firm does not have the time or staff resources to do, advise on motions practice, and draft motions and supporting legal memoranda as a case moves towards trial.  Mia Maness Law is available to help attorneys prepare, solve problems, and address complex discovery and trial issues.

Appellate research and brief writing.  The firm works with attorneys in the appellate process.  Mia Maness researches appellate issues and prepares appellate briefs.  The firm’s goal is to help attorneys  navigate the appellate process.

Mia Maness Law can also work with you in other legal areas – or can find the right person to advise you about your problem.
