Robert F. Goings
Our firm would like to recognize our founding attorney, Robert F. Goings, for serving as the 2020 President of the South Carolina Chapter of ABOTA. When Robert was first accepted into ABOTA, he was the youngest attorney in South Carolina to be a member of this distinguished legal organization. Last week, he concluded his term as President, serving as the youngest President of the Chapter.

ABOTA is an invitation-only organization. Members must have significant civil jury trial experience.
