Gray Culbreath possesses extensive federal and state trial experience successfully defending noted corporate clients in class action, products liability, toxic tort, and complex and catastrophic injury suits. He also conducts an active appellate practice for his regional and national clients. Gray is considered one of South Carolina’s preeminent attorneys, according to Martindale-Hubbell and also is one of the Best Lawyers in America©.
