An exceptional advocate for complex professional defense cases

When our medical practice faced a complex malpractice claim, the stakes were incredibly high. We turned to Sally Purnell at Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, and it was the best decision we could have made. Her 17 years of focused experience in defending professionals was immediately evident. Sally possesses a rare combination of deep legal acumen and a pragmatic, strategic approach. She meticulously deconstructed the plaintiff's case, guided us through every step with clear communication, and her preparation was exhaustive. It’s no surprise she has been recognized as Lawyer of the Year in her field. The outcome was a complete dismissal of the claim, protecting both our reputation and our practice. Sally is not just a brilliant attorney; she is a trusted advisor who fights tirelessly for her clients. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
