27x Medical Bills (caused by Drunk Driver) – Our clients were rear ended by a drunk driver in Orangeburg County, who was later convicted of DUI and Leaving the Scene of an Accident. We recovered full insurance policy limits from the drunk driver’s insurance company.
Traffic Violations
Drug Crimes
Assault
Shoplifting
Confidential Settlement – Our client was wrongfully accused of shoplifting a bottle of wine at a big box retailer. The retailer and employees pushed for her arrest, and our client spent approximately 24 hours in jail. After we successfully defended our client in the criminal case by getting the charges dropped, we then filed a civil suit against the retailer for false arrest and defamation. We settled her case after filing suit and taking a few depositions.
In addition to our litigation practice, we have an active Real Estate practice, Probate practice, and Estate Planning practice (Wills and POA’s). Many times, a long-time relationship with a client starts out as a real estate transaction, estate, or a simple will.

Medical Malpractice
Confidential Settlement – Our client had knee replacement surgery but developed an infection shortly thereafter. Her doctors were aware of the infection but neglected to treat it in time. Our client ultimately had to have her leg amputated from the knee-down. We filed a medical malpractice case against the surgeon and his practice for missing the infection and were able to settle the case.
We have used the Ness & Jett law firm for many years and most recently to update our Wills and Power of Attorney. Aaron Ness was very knowledgeable and professional and answered all our questions. He and his staff were very responsive and made us feel so comfortable and welcome. I would highly recommend Aaron and the Ness & Jett law firm for any of your legal needs.
