Mr. Gerrald practices primarily in the fields of civil litigation and appeals, along with professional malpractice defense, insurance coverage, collections, construction law, real estate, and church law. He regularly assists in the defense of complex civil cases and appeals thereof in both South Carolina and federal courts. He is often called upon to advise churches and other nonprofits on a variety of issues ranging from incorporation to abuse reporting to parliamentary procedure. He is also a contributor to the South Carolina chapter of Fifty State Construction Lien and Bond Law, published in 2000 by Aspen Publishing.

Prior to joining the firm as an associate, Mr. Gerrald served the firm as a law clerk. He also previously worked in the Washington office of then-Congressman Jim DeMint of South Carolina and for the North Carolina Family Policy Council in Raleigh.

In addition to his practice, Mr. Gerrald enjoys spending time with his family and participating in endurance sports. He has finished ten triathlons, including most recently the Ironman 70.3 Augusta.
