Smith, Born, Leventis, Taylor & Vega, LLC is proud to announce the addition of a new partner, Jim Sproat.
Jim’s practice areas are workers’ compensation and personal injury. He is passionate about representing injured workers and those that have been injured due to the negligence of others and takes great pride in the personal relationship he builds with each of his clients. Jim went to the University of South Carolina where he graduated with a B.A. in Political Science in 2008, his Juris Doctor from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 2011, and then his Master of Business Administration in 2023. While at the University of Cincinnati, Mr. Sproat served as both the Student Bar Association President and the Managing Editor of the Immigration and Nationality Law Review. He was admitted to practice law in South Carolina in 2011, after working with both the US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and the South Carolina Court of Appeals during school. Sproat honed his advocacy skills during his time practicing primarily Construction Law and Business litigation before shifting his focus to Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation. When Sproat is not working, he is generally spending time with his wife and son, playing golf or in the middle of a river fishing for trout.
