About Derek J.
Derek J. Enderlin has built a steady legal career in South Carolina law. He is a partner at Ross & Enderlin and works from the firm’s Greenville office. Colleagues describe him as deliberate in court and careful with written work.
Enderlin's academic background began at The Citadel, where he completed his undergraduate studies in 1990. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1994. Those years laid a traditional groundwork in legal education and public service that informed his approach to practice.
After law school, Enderlin moved into private practice. He is a partner at Ross & Enderlin, a role that combines case management, client counseling and courtroom work. In that capacity he shares responsibility for the firm’s matters and works alongside other attorneys on cases that pass through the Greenville office.
He holds admission to practice before several significant tribunals. Enderlin is admitted to the bar of the State of South Carolina, and he is also admitted to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the United States Supreme Court. Those admissions mean he is credentialed to appear in both state and high-level federal appellate forums.
His work involves court appearances and written advocacy. He prepares pleadings, briefs and motions, and represents clients in hearings. That combination of courtroom presence and appellate credentialing positions him to take matters from trial-level proceedings into appellate review when necessary.
Enderlin has established his practice around the needs of clients who come to the Greenville office. He manages cases from the initial intake through litigation and, when appropriate, appellate filings. He currently practices from Ross & Enderlin’s Greenville office and handles the firm’s matters in that region.
