Editorial review by AttorneyReview
A Charleston injury lawyer who started as a federal judge's clerk
Andrew D. Gowdown practices with Rosen Hagood in Charleston, admitted in South Carolina since 2000, with a J.D. from the University of Dayton in 1998, where he was editor in chief of the law review. His profile describes a focus on complex personal injury cases, from traumatic brain injuries and wrongful death to product liability and trucking accidents, alongside business and securities litigation. Before joining the firm he served as a judicial law clerk to a United States District Judge for the District of South Carolina. In our editorial view, the clerkship is the detail worth noticing. A year inside a federal judge's chambers teaches how motions are actually decided, which is a quiet advantage in cases that turn on expert evidence and procedure. His profile also lists leadership in the Charleston County Bar Association, including chairing its medical-legal committee, and volunteer work as a reading tutor in a local elementary school. A lawyer with this focus is typically sought by families after a serious crash, a brain injury or a death caused by a defective product. Think you have a case? Start here.
