Melissa Syracuse
Biography
I am a South Carolina native and lived most of my life in the Upstate of South Carolina until moving to Charleston in 2004 to attend Law School. Charleston is where I met and married my wonderful Air Force husband. I also fell in love with the Low Country and will always call it home.
Since graduation, I have focused my practice primarily in the area of Workers' Compensation. I began my practice as a defense attorney working for employers and insurance companies. I quickly discovered that my true passion was for the other side. I've been helping injured workers and their families ever since to obtain all the benefits they are rightfully entitled to.
