Creasie’s practice focuses on medical malpractice defense and civil litigation.  She graduated summa cum laude from the University of South Carolina and cum laude from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2018.  Following law school, Creasie spent two years clerking for the Honorable William P. Keesley of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court, where she gained valuable experience observing and assisting with motions as well as jury and non-jury trials.

While in law school, Creasie served as the Assistant Managing Editor of the South Carolina Law Review and was published in the area of telemedicine.  She also served as a Justice for the nationally ranked Mock Trial Bar, during which time she was named champion or finalist in multiple competitions across the country.  Because of her work in trial advocacy, Creasie has been awarded the Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. Medal for Excellence in Advocacy, the D. Reece Williams III Trial Advocacy Award, the Luther Lee Award, and the Sherod Eadon Award.  She has also received the CALI Excellence for the Future Award (formerly known as the American Jurisprudence Award) for her studies in Trial Advocacy and The Future of the Legal Profession.

While originally from the PeeDee area, Creasie now calls Columbia home.  When not working, you will likely find her volunteering with the Junior League of Columbia or coaching mock trial at the University of South Carolina School of Law.  Under her leadership, Creasie’s students have gone on to earn various outstanding advocate awards and to win multiple competitions.  Creasie is also actively involved in multiple South Carolina Bar committees, including the Law Related Education Committee and the Committee for Continuing Legal Education.
