Free Consultationin Charleston, SC

Expert free consultation in Charleston. Licensed, insured, upfront pricing.

Attorney meeting an injured client to review a personal injury claim
Plate I — Free Consultation

A serious injury rearranges everything at once — your health, your income, and a stack of calls from adjusters who are paid to close your claim cheaply. Our personal-injury practice exists to take that weight off you. A partner investigates liability, values the claim honestly, and negotiates from a file built for trial, so the insurer’s first number is rarely the last word. You pay nothing up front and nothing at all unless we recover for you.

Part IThe Scope of the Matter

What free consultation includes

  • Motor-vehicle, trucking, and rideshare collisions
  • Slip-and-fall and premises-liability injuries
  • Wrongful death and catastrophic-injury claims
  • Independent investigation and accident reconstruction
  • Direct dealing with insurers and medical liens on your behalf
  • A written contingency agreement — the percentage fixed on day one
Part IIHow the Matter Proceeds

From first meeting to signed, settled, and kept.

  1. Free case review

    A partner hears what happened, explains your rights and the deadline that governs them, and tells you candidly whether you have a claim worth pursuing.

  2. Investigation & liability

    We preserve evidence, obtain reports and records, and — where it matters — retain reconstruction or medical experts to establish fault before the trail goes cold.

  3. Demand & negotiation

    When your treatment stabilizes we present a documented demand. Because the file is trial-ready, the negotiation starts from strength rather than hope.

  4. Trial if it serves you

    If the offer is unfair, we try the case. Insurers track which firms actually go to verdict — and price their offers accordingly.

Every matter begins the same way: an hour, a partner, and a plan.

No obligation, held in confidence. You leave knowing what you need, what it costs, and what happens next.

Questions on free consultation

Is the consultation really free — and confidential?

Yes on both counts. Your first meeting with a partner costs nothing and is protected by attorney–client privilege whether or not you retain the firm. You leave with an honest assessment of your case, not a sales pitch.

How much will my case cost?

It depends on the matter, but you will always know before we begin. Injury cases are handled on contingency — no fee unless we recover. Estate plans and closings are flat-fee. Litigation and family matters are hourly with rates disclosed up front and monthly caps agreed in writing.

What if you review my case and think I shouldn’t pursue it?

We tell you exactly that, at the free consultation, with the reasons in plain language. Candor costs us some engagements and has earned us decades of referrals. If another path serves you better — mediation, a demand letter, doing nothing — you will hear it from us first.
