About C. Scott
C. Scott Masel built a legal career that moves between trial work and appellate filings. He earned his J.D. from Wake Forest University School of Law in 1992 after completing a B.B.A. at Baylor University in 1989. Those academic years set the groundwork for practice in multiple jurisdictions and both state and federal courts.
Masel entered private practice and by the mid-1990s was a partner in a regional firm. In 1996 he became a partner at Newby, Sartip & Masel, LLC. Later he joined Palmetto Injury Lawyers, LLC in 2010, listed there as a lawyer. His admissions include the South Carolina and West Virginia state bars, and he is also admitted in Florida. He is authorized to appear before the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. He has appellate admission to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
His practice has spanned the kinds of civil litigation that often arise in state and federal forums. He handles cases that involve contested liability and damages, and he has experience taking matters through trial and, when necessary, on appeal. That work requires preparation of discovery, courtroom presentations, and briefing at the appellate level. Colleagues describe him as procedural and exacting in litigation preparation rather than as a lawyer who seeks attention for headline cases.
Masel maintains memberships in professional associations across the states where he practices. He is a current member of the South Carolina State Bar Association and the West Virginia State Bar Association. Locally he belongs to the Horry County Bar Association. Those memberships reflect ongoing engagement with bar activities and local legal networks.
He keeps an office listed at 4593 Oleander Dr. and has handled matters in jurisdictions that commonly intersect with coastal practice and interstate disputes. Over the years he has moved between firm roles and trial practice, carrying experience from partnership-level management into client representation. He works in both state courts and federal districts and has represented clients before the Fourth Circuit when appeals are required.
Masel’s current work is based at Palmetto Injury Lawyers, LLC. His current practice concentrates on personal injury litigation at the firm.
