About
- Matthew W. Jackson, is head of the Joye Law Firm's Workers’ Compensation Department
- Matt takes pride in representing the working men and women of South Carolina, and fights tenaciously on behalf of his clients. "I handle workers’ compensation cases for injured workers
- I’m the head of the Workers’ Compensation Department
- I’ll take any case that falls under the state Workers’ Compensation Act
- In this profession, there can be a lot of churning of people, where they end up as just a number
- That is not the case with Joye Law Firm
- By way of example, I had a case that just resolved where I sent my client out for a medical evaluation
- The guy who examines her comes back and says, “Well, she could have x surgery.” But her treating doctor, who I know is good, says, “She could have that surgery, but it could be horrific in terms of the outcome
- I wouldn’t do it.” A lot of lawyers would push her into that because the case would be worth more
- But I said to her, “If you were my mother, I would tell you to not do the surgery, and here’s why….” You can make a good living by doing the right thing in every case and every situation
- And that’s the way I approach my law practice."
