Jackson ATTORNEY | SOUTH CAROLINA INJURY LAWYER (843) 554-3100 North Charleston Workers’ Compensation Contact Matthew Accepting New Clients MEET ATTORNEY MATTHEW W. JACKSON Meet Matt Jackson I handle workers’ compensation cases for injured workers. I’m the head of the Workers’ Compensation Department. I’ll take any case that falls under the state Workers’ Compensation Act. In this profession, there can be a lot of churning of people, where they end up as just a number. That is not the case with Joye Law Firm. By way of example, I had a case that just resolved where I sent my client out for a medical evaluation. The guy who examines her comes back and says, “Well, she could have x surgery.” But her treating doctor, who I know is good, says, “She could have that surgery, but it could be horrific in terms of the outcome. I wouldn’t do it.” A lot of lawyers would push her into that because the case would be worth more. But I said to her, “If you were my mother, I would tell you to not do the surgery, and here’s why….” You can make a good living by doing the right thing in every case and every situation. And that’s the way I approach my law practice. Awards & Recognition "Matthew Jackson and Deana Nash were very helpful and caring. They addressed all of my needs. I would highly recommend their services. Awesome experience." -M. YUMOL, ACTUAL CLIENT What inspired you to become an attorney? My compassion for others and my empathy! Tell us about your practice My goal at the first meeting with clients is to try and ease their minds. When they come in, they are usually very scared. They are dealing with the unknown, and the unknown causes fear in anybody. I can’t take that fear away, but I try to answer all their questions. Then I tell them, “You’ve been carrying around a bag of bricks, and those bricks are basically stress. Set those things down at my door when you walk out of here. Leave them here for me to deal with.” I want clients to know and feel comfortable that I’m going to take care of them. I always make two promises: 1) I’ll work hard for you and 2) I’ll always tell you the truth. Instead of being the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain, I do as much as I can so that clients say to themselves, “I can really see that this guy cares about me, and really cares where I go with my case.” What Have You Learned from this Profession? The best lesson I’ve learned from clients is that there are certain things in life that you can control. If you’re spending your time worrying about things that are out of your control, you’re wasting your time. You should focus your efforts on what you can control, and your time will be better spent.
