Robert Emmet Treacy

Robert Emmet Treacy, Jr. is the son of an English professor and a commercial fisherman. He was raised in Hampton, Columbia and then Charleston. After graduating from Bishop England High School, Robert worked his way through the College of Charleston and the University of South Carolina School of Law. After a one-year judicial clerkship with a Circuit Court judge in Anderson, he was commended for his outstanding service from 1997-1999 as a prosecutor with the Oconee County Solicitor’s Office. Later, he worked in private practice in the Upstate focusing in both criminal and civil trial work. In 2002, Robert returned to Charleston with his wife to work at George Sink, P.A. Injury Lawyers. Entering his 30th year of practice, Robert has successfully settled thousands of cases, including many complex cases involving catastrophic injuries and wrongful death, with several million dollar and multi-million dollar recoveries for innocent victims and their families. He has tried cases in all levels of South Carolina trial courts, the Workers’ Compensation Commission, the Social Security Administration and the U.S. District Court. Robert has briefed cases to the S.C. Court of Appeals and argued before the S.C. Supreme Court. In his current role, he serves as the firm’s director of the South Carolina litigation team, a perfect fit since he feels at home anywhere in the state. 100% of Robert’s practice is dedicated to fighting for fair compensation for innocent victims. He is proud to have never worked for the insurance companies defending recklessness, believing that holding careless people accountable makes our communities safer. Robert enjoys getting to know his clients, advising them through the process, advocating for them in settlement negotiations and in court to juries. Robert and his wife, Malinda, live in Charleston with their Yorkies, Jake Brigance and Rudy Baylor. They enjoy travel, good food, reading and spending quality time with friends and family.
