Attorney Patrick Hickman

Bar Admission: South Carolina

Patrick Hickman is a personal injury lawyer at Cavanaugh & Thickens, LLC, a reputable South Carolina injury law firm. Since being founded in 2017, the attorneys at Cavanaugh & Thickens, LLC have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for accident victims following car accidents, truck accidents, slip and falls, work accidents, and other unexpected accidents.

Patrick joined the Cavanaugh & Thickens, LLC team in 2018 as a law clerk. Upon successfully completing the Bar Exam in 2020, he became a full-time attorney at the firm. His hard work and dedication to his clients has resulted in various awards, including Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch and Super Lawyers: Rising Stars.

“I’m passionate about helping clients because many come to us after experiencing something really difficult, often the worst time in their lives. The most rewarding part of my job is handing them a check at the end of a case and seeing the relief on their face. Sometimes, even after their physical recovery, the mental burden of the case lingers, and resolving it gives them closure and peace of mind.”
