Why Local Counsel Matters in Charleston
Practicing law in South Carolina. Legal matters in South Carolina are governed by state-specific rules of civil and criminal procedure, statutes of limitations, and substantive law. Cases originating in Charleston are typically filed in the local municipal court or the appropriate South Carolina state district court, depending on subject matter and amount in controversy.
