Biography:

Christie joined the firm in 2009 after a number of years as a solo practitioner where she concentrated her practice on creditor's rights and foreclosure. Prior to her solo practice, Christie worked as a contract attorney drafting appellate court briefs and circuit court supportive memoranda, for submission in both state and federal courts.

Before moving to Columbia in 1998, Christie was a litigation associate at Buist Moore Smythe & McGee in Charleston, where her primary practice areas were construction and surety law and tort defense, with some experience in employment law and workers' compensation. There she developed experience in all facets of litigation, including development of pleadings, pre-trial discovery and depositions, legal research, preparation of motions, oral argument of various motions to the court, and management of litigation case files.

Christie graduated from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1994. As a top 10% graduate of her class, she was granted membership into the Order of the Coif and the Order of Wig and Robe. In addition to serving as Editor in Chief of the Real Property, Probate & Trust Journal, Christie was awarded the American Jurisprudence Award in both Appellate Advocacy and Trusts & Estates.

She is a member of the John Belton O'Neall Inn of Court, an honorary society for nominated members of the Bar, members of the judiciary, and students.
