About Scott M.
Scott M. Anderson built his legal foundations at two Southern universities. He earned a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 and completed his J.D. at the University of South Carolina - Columbia in 1989. Those years set the groundwork for a career that spans federal and state courts.
He is a partner at Grimes Teich Anderson LLP, an injury law firm where he handles litigation on behalf of injured individuals. Over the years he has obtained admissions to a wide range of forums. They include the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, and several federal district courts across North Carolina and South Carolina. He is also admitted to practice before the Cherokee Supreme Court (Eastern Band).
Anderson’s career centers on contested injury and workers’ compensation matters. He has practical experience taking cases through trial and appeal in both federal and state venues. That work requires courtroom preparation, witness examination, and appellate briefing. He applies those routines in cases that involve serious injury claims as well as disputes arising from workplace incidents.
Professional associations shape much of his practice life. He is a member of the South Carolina Association for Justice, the North Carolina Advocates for Justice, and the American Association for Justice. He belongs to the Injured Workers Advocates of South Carolina and the South Carolina Workers Compensation Educational Association. He also holds membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum. For a period he served on the board of the South Carolina Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Association and continues an affiliation with that organization. He sits on the South Carolina Bar Resolution of Fee Disputes Board.
Colleagues describe Anderson as methodical in court preparation and deliberate in litigation strategy. He spends considerable time on evidence review and motion practice. His courtroom work includes jury trials and bench hearings in district courts, and he has filed appellate briefs in the Fourth Circuit as part of his appellate litigation workload.
Outside the courtroom he has been involved in bar and judicial-administration matters through his board service on the fee disputes board. That role places him at the intersection of professional ethics and client-relations issues in South Carolina.
He practices as a partner at Grimes Teich Anderson LLP and handles personal injury and workers’ compensation matters across state and federal courts where he is admitted to practice.
