Biography

Meet Deon T. Tedder — environmental lawyer in Mount Pleasant

Deon T. Tedder is an attorney based in Mount Pleasant, SC. The practice focuses on Environmental, General, and Litigation. Deon has over 9 years of legal experience. Currently practicing at Rogers, Patrick, Westbrook & Brickman, LLC.

Deon Tedder is a community leader and RPWB attorney who focuses on personal injury, criminal defense and mass tort cases from his offices in Mount Pleasant and Columbia, SC. He has extensive experience with wrongful death cases, car accidents, slip & falls, truck accidents and motorcycle wrecks.

Tedder joined RPWB after working at David Aylor Law Offices for the past five years, where he helped many clients in the Charleston area with personal injury and criminal defense matters. He is honored as a 2022-2023 Rising Star in personal injury litigation by Super Lawyers and as a Top 40 under 40 personal injury attorney by the National Black Lawyers Association.

He has a particular interest in helping juveniles get back on the right track, and has represented many teenagers charged with crimes and/or facing expulsion hearings at school.

A resident of North Charleston, Tedder has spent much of his life devoted to public service. He currently serves District 109 in the S.C. House of Representatives and is running for an open seat for District 42 in the S.C. Senate (Charleston). But his interest in being a voice and public servant for the underserved goes back much further.

While neither of his parents were lawyers, Tedder knew that he wanted to be one at a young age. In school, he was involved in debate competitions, mock courts and a Legal Eagle program at North Carolina Central University that introduced schoolchildren to the legal system.

While in college, he worked in the office of the late Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy, where he assisted on the Health, Education, Labor & Pension (HELP) Committee. As a law student at the University of South Carolina School of Law, he advocated for the least fortunate among us by serving as a Guardian Ad Litem for Richland County’s Court Appointed Special Advocates Program (CASA).

Tedder also represented indigent clients in courtroom proceedings in Magistrate Court through the University of South Carolina’s Criminal Law Practice Clinic. He served as a judicial law clerk to the Honorable L. Casey Manning in Columbia.

Outside of practicing law, he can be found volunteering at community events, mentoring young students, and advocating for all South Carolinians to have a better quality of life. He also can be found riding his motorcycle, a Honda Shadow with sentimental value that he inherited from his father.

Tedder is a proud graduate of South Carolina State University Honors College and the University of South Carolina School of Law. He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

In addition to being licensed to practice law in South Carolina, Tedder also is licensed in North Carolina.

Tedder is engaged to be married to Jillian Broughton, a dentist originally of Mauldin, S.C.
