Greenville, SC – Whalen Montalvo Law partner, James M. Whalen, has been recognized by his peers for inclusion in the South Carolina 2021 Legal Elite. All winners will receive recognition in the Charleston Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly, and Greenville Business Magazine in the August issues of their respective publications.
James M. Whalen has earned his high reputation after handling cases in DUI mitigation, personal injury, and criminal defense. This is the second consecutive year that he has won this honor from Legal Elite. Last year being for his practice in personal injury law, Mr. Whalen continued to broaden his specialties and was nominated this year for his accomplishments in the criminal law field.
Mr. Whalen is an experienced criminal defense attorney, and civil litigator. He received his law degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law. Many legal and judicial conferences, such as the S.C Commission on Prosecution, have recruited Mr. Whalen for speaking duties.
Local attorneys vote for their legal colleagues and peers in 20 business-related categories. Legal Elite stands out as the only regional award that allows active attorneys to pick selections. Lawyers may nominate candidates from their own firm, but they are not allowed to vote for themselves. For balance, there must be one out-of-firm nomination for each in-firm one. Online attorney votes are the only criteria for list selection.
Legal Elite is the only award program in the region that gives every active attorney the opportunity to participate.
