Our attorneys are licensed in the State of South Carolina. A former clerk to the Honorable G. Ross Anderson, Jr., United States District Judge, Candy Kern-Fuller, is licensed in the Federal Court for the District of South Carolina and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals and has been a certified mediator for over a decade. She has advanced certification in employment mediation and is also a certified arbitrator. Trey Sutter worked over four years as in-house counsel for Ryobi Corporation (now known as TTI) negotiating contracts, managing outside counsel and overseeing trademarks and patents before joining a former firm with Ms. Kern-Fuller in the Summer of 2007.
We represent individuals, families, and businesses throughout the Upstate of South Carolina. Our practice strives to yield the results our clients expect and deserve.
While practicing separately and then together in other firms since 2003, Ms. Kern-Fuller and Mr. Sutter formed the Upstate Law Group, LLC in September of 2008.
Although the Upstate Law Group is a full-service, general practice, Ms. Kern-Fuller is known for her work in employment law. Her recent victory in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a $200,000.00 verdict she and her co-counsel Victoria Eslinger, Esq. won on an Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) case, Wilson v. Phoenix Specialty. [Link]. Ms. Kern-Fuller is extremely knowledgeable about the network of laws that control how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. She litigates primarily on behalf of employees.
