Steven Taylor Hooven

After graduating from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2016, Taylor took an associate position at a well-reputed defense firm in his hometown of Augusta, Georgia, where he cut his teeth defending insurance companies and their insureds in car accident and medical malpractice cases. His having begun his career learning from some highly gifted defense lawyers causes Taylor to bring a bit of a different perspective to the table. However, his goal was to return to practice law in South Carolina, and when The Derrick Law Firm presented him with the chance to represent individuals hurt by the negligence of others and those involved in work-related accidents, he seized the opportunity. Now he assists and guides DLF clients in personal injury and worker’s compensation matters, representing their interests and diligently fighting for their rights against those whose carelessness, recklessness, negligence, or wrongful conduct have caused harm.
