Family Lawin Charleston, SC
Expert family law in Charleston. Licensed, insured, upfront pricing.
Family matters are legal problems wrapped around the most personal parts of a life, and they deserve counsel who can hold both. We guide divorces, allocation of parental responsibilities, support, and post-decree disputes toward resolution without theatrics — and litigate without hesitation when the other side leaves no better option. You will always understand the next filing before it happens and see every invoice against the agreement you signed.
What family law includes

From first meeting to signed, settled, and kept.
Confidential consultation
We map your situation, your priorities, and the realistic range of outcomes — privileged whether or not you retain the firm.
Strategy & filings
We prepare the petition or response, financial disclosures, and any urgent motions for support or parenting time.
Negotiation or mediation
Most matters resolve through settlement or mediation. We press for terms that hold up years later, not just ones that end the meeting.
Resolution or trial
If agreement is impossible, a partner tries the contested issues and secures a judgment you can actually live under.
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 family law
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 long will my case take?
At the consultation we map a realistic timeline for your specific matter. As a rule of thumb: estate plans finish in two to four weeks, uncontested family matters in a few months, and litigated cases in six months to two years. We will not promise speed we cannot deliver.
Will a partner actually handle my case?
Yes. The partner you meet at your consultation leads your case personally — signs the pleadings, appears at hearings, and returns your calls. Associates and paralegals support the work; they never replace the partner on it.
