Thad L. Myers
Thad enjoys combining the rigors of a busy law practice with service to our country through his position as Staff Judge Advocate for Air with the South Carolina National Guard Joint Force Headquarters, where he has achieved the rank of Colonel. His background as a former criminal prosecutor allows him to objectively view each civil case as an opportunity to seek justice for victims and, when appropriate, to hold a wrongdoer accountable for their actions.
