About Steven Taylor
Steven Taylor Hooven is an attorney admitted to practice in South Carolina and Georgia. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Georgia before receiving his Juris Doctor from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2016. That combination of public university and regional law school shaped his understanding of the legal landscape in the Southeast.
After law school, Hooven entered practice in a field tied to everyday public concerns. He practices in both South Carolina and Georgia and has worked on matters that arise from accidents and injuries. Over the years he has built practical experience handling client intake, case development and the procedural demands that personal injury files require. His path has involved the steady work of preparing claims, counseling clients and managing litigation timelines.
Hooven’s caseload at The Derrick Law Office Injury Lawyers, PC centers on personal injury matters. He represents individuals pursuing compensation after accidents. His work includes investigating causes of injury, assembling medical and insurance records, and coordinating with experts when cases require technical or medical explanation. In practice, that means he often deals with the detailed paperwork and factual reconstruction that personal injury claims demand.
In court and at the negotiating table, Hooven balances case strategy with attention to client priorities. He handles settlement discussions and prepares cases for trial when necessary. Colleagues note that this work requires patience and a methodical approach—qualities that are reflected in how his cases are developed and presented. He also navigates the procedural differences that come up when handling matters across state lines, given his admissions in both South Carolina and Georgia.
Outside of courtroom settings, Hooven spends time explaining options to clients and coordinating the various professionals involved in an injury claim. He aims to keep clients informed about timing, likely outcomes and next steps through the life of a case. He works from The Derrick Law Office Injury Lawyers, PC and is involved in the firm’s efforts to manage injury claims from beginning to end. He currently practices personal injury law at The Derrick Law Office Injury Lawyers, PC.
