Beattie Ashmore

Beattie Ashmore_A Courtroom Guy

Pretty much any day is a good day to be Beattie Ashmore. Especially if it's a day in the courtroom. 

"I've been very fortunate. Every case is new, different, exciting," says Ash­more, a Greenville native who has prac­ticed law for four decades. "It keeps me young:' 

Ashmore started his law firm in 1996, after six years as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office in South Carolina. He started his career clerking for bankruptcy judges following gradu­ation from the University of South Car­olina School of Law in 1986. 

He hadn't planned to be an attorney early in life. "I fell into this, and I'm one of the happiest, luckiest guys around," he says. 

Ashmore represents clients in state and federal courts. He's argued cases before the United States Court of Ap­peals for the Fourth Circuit, which in­cludes South Carolina, as well as the S.C. Court of Appeals and the S.C. Su­preme Court.

He works with criminal, civil and per­sonal injury cases; corporate and con­tract disputes; and white-collar crimes. 

"Most people know me as a crimi­nal defense lawyer. They're surprised to find out that we got a $101 million civil verdict last fall in federal court in Charleston. I was in another trial in February, and I got a $9.1 million ver­dict," he says. "I love trying cases, civil or criminal. Put me in a courtroom, and I'm happy. I'm a courtroom guy.”
