Meet Connor Johnson

Taking Lessons from the Insurance Company to Better Serve Clients

When I began my legal career, I worked for ‘the other side’ as a defense attorney in personal injury and construction litigation cases. While I learned an immense amount during that time, I wasn’t fulfilling my desire to make a difference in the lives of other people. However, the time I spent working as an insurance defense attorney allows me to see my client’s case from that perspective. I understand what the defense is looking for and how they value different cases. I use that to my client’s advantage.

Connor’s Background and Education

Connor grew up in the Midlands. He stayed local to attend the University of South Carolina, where he earned his bachelor’s degree. He continued his studies at the University of South Carolina School of Law, earning his Juris Doctorate. During his time at the Joseph F. Rice School of Law, he served as a Research Editor for the South Carolina Journal of International Law and Business. After graduation, he remained in Columbia for a few more years before moving to the Lowcountry.

Before joining Joye Law Firm, Connor worked as a defense attorney for multiple law firms in South Carolina, representing the interests of corporations and their insurance providers. He has extensive experience handling claims related to personal injury and construction litigation. He is a member of the South Carolina Bar Association, Charleston County Bar Association, and the CCBA Young Lawyers Division.

Connor currently lives in Charleston with his fiancée and their French Bulldog, Arnold. He loves getting outdoors and surfing the waters of the Lowcountry. Connor is close with his immediate family and cherishes their annual ski trips, where he enjoys testing his balance on the slopes. A big fan of simulator racing, Connor finds it offers the thrill of the road without the potential hazards he’s all too familiar with in his day job.
