About Paula Howker

Paula Howker Amick is a dedicated personal injury and workers' compensation attorney based in Columbia, South Carolina. Since 1992, she has focused her legal career on assisting clients who have suffered injuries in various accidents, including car wrecks and construction accidents. Her commitment to her clients is evident in her work at George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers, where she has been a vital member of the team since 1999. Operating from their Columbia office, she continues to provide support and guidance to those facing challenging circumstances after accidents. Amick's academic journey began at Erskine College, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in English in 1989, graduating summa cum laude.

This strong academic foundation paved the way for her legal education at the University of South Carolina School of Law. She graduated with her Juris Doctor in 1992, ready to embark on a career in law. After completing her degree, she worked as a staff attorney with the South Carolina Court of Appeals from 1992 to 1994. This role allowed her to develop a keen understanding of legal procedures and appellate work. In 1994, Amick expanded her horizons by accepting a position with Davis & Company, a prominent law firm in Vancouver, British Columbia. There, she managed the firm's corporate services department until 1995.

This experience not only broadened her legal expertise but also gave her skills in corporate law, which she later applied to her practice in South Carolina. Upon her return to the state in 1996, she began focusing primarily on personal injury and workers' compensation law, areas in which she has built a strong reputation. At George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers, Amick specializes in a range of practice areas, including motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, commercial truck accidents, wrongful death, dog bites, premises liability, and products liability. Her approach to law emphasizes personalized assistance, ensuring that clients receive the attention and support they need while navigating the physical, emotional, and financial challenges that often follow an accident. Her dedication to her clients is reflected in her understanding of the details of personal injury law.

Amick is an active member of both the South Carolina Bar and the North Carolina Bar, demonstrating her commitment to the legal profession.
