About Roy
Roy Willey attended Harvard University, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in 2009 after beginning his studies in 2005. He studied pre-law and government while at Harvard and left with a liberal arts grounding that informs how he approaches legal questions. His undergraduate years provided a foundation in research and writing, two skills he has relied on throughout his career.
Early in his legal trajectory he worked at the Anastopoulo Law Office in 2011. That role put him into courtroom settings and exposed him to litigation practice. Records indicate that he has since maintained an active presence in multiple jurisdictions and on several federal appellate dockets. He holds current membership in the South Carolina Bar.
Willey is admitted to practice in several state and federal venues. His admissions include New Jersey, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee and appearances on the records of the D.C. Circuit, the 5th Circuit, the 3rd Circuit, the 11th Circuit, the 9th Circuit and the 4th Circuit. That mix of state bars and federal circuit admissions means he handles matters that range from state-court litigation to appeals filed in diverse regional circuits.
Outside of law, he carries a certification as an Open Water Scuba Diver from PADI. The certification signals an interest outside the office and an engagement with activities that require training, planning and adherence to standards. It is a detail that colleagues sometimes mention when describing how he balances professional work with personal pursuits.
Public information about Willey’s office locations or firm affiliation is limited. What is clear is a pattern of practice that spans both trial and appellate forums and crosses several geographic regions. He remains a current member of the South Carolina Bar and continues to appear in the courts and circuits where he holds admission. He currently concentrates on matters across the jurisdictions where he is admitted.
