I am William D. Herlong. With nearly 25 years of legal experience, I am an AV-Rated* lawyer and a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.

I am passionate about helping injured individuals and businesses recover the compensation they need.
If you or a loved one or your business has suffered a serious injury or harm, I may be able to help. To schedule a free initial consultation, call 864-382-3800 or contact my offices online.
I Will Fight by Your Side
Anyone who has been seriously harmed or who has lost a loved one or had their business or livelihood destroyed knows that adjusting can be a terrible struggle.
It can also be a terrible struggle to obtain the compensation needed to adjust or make up for the loss.
It can frequently be much worse because there is often an enormous corporation or insurance company on the other side, for whom, even if you are clearly in the right, the objective is simply to pay as little as possible.
Because of my background and experience, and the fact that I've been up against some of the biggest companies and many highly touted defense attorneys in my career, I am simply not afraid or intimated by any opponent. If I take on your case, I will work with you to show in concrete terms just how the accident or the wrongful actions have affected your life and your livelihood. It will be a mission, difficult but hopefully rewarding for you in the end.
Some of the kinds of claims I handle include:
- Serious personal injury and wrongful death
- Truck and car accidents
- Products liability
- Medical malpractice
- Class actions
- Many more ... including spinal cord injury, brain injury and other catastrophic injuries
Expert Witnesses
Modern personal injury litigation depends heavily on science and technology. Medical experts are needed to show how serious the victim's injuries or the nature of the business claim and the damages caused by the harm ("causation"). Experts may need to reconstruct accidents or business scenarios. I have even worked with an acoustics expert to show that a crucial alarm could not be heard by nursing home staff.
Working with experts is one of my strengths. This is largely because of my own background in science and business and the plain fact that I tend to be a highly analytical thinker myself. Before law school, I was fortunate to be able to study biochemistry at the University of Virginia. Later, I served as general legal counsel and eventually CEO of a tech startup company. I have the technical experience to effectively handle complex personal injury or business litigation.
