Our History

Since 1973, the Epting Law Firm provided legal expertise and extensive trial experience to families, small businesses and corporations throughout South Carolina. Since 1998, the Gillis Law Firm provided real estate advice to families buying a new home or refinancing, investors accumulating commercial and residential investment realestate, home owners associations and developers. In 2006, these two firms merged. Together they provide South Carolina families and business owners attorneys with more professional and specialized legal expertise to handle legal matters.

In today’s complex legal climate, it is impossible for one attorney to be proficient enough in all areas of the law to give clients competent representation. Unfortunately, the days of the general practitioner who could be proficient in all areas of the law are fading as each practice area becomes more and more specific, requiring attorneys everywhere to specialize.

Every person, as they go through the course of their life, will find the need for real estate services and estate facilitations. Serving these basic needs is a devoted practice area with Epting and Gillis. At the same time, many clients find themselves in need of litigation services to enforce their rights. Epting and Gillis also employs competent and knowledgeable attorneys and staff in many of the litigation practice areas that are necessary to enforce your rights and secure just compensation for injuries.

Given the unprecedented appreciation in the values of real estate, many clients find managing their homes or investments properties as vital as managing their more traditional investments. With title issues and complex mortgage products, it is imperative that legal representation be involved in order to prevent a potential costly mistake.

When a person is facing the loss of a loved one, facing the often uncertain estate process is more than they can bear alone.  Many clients find comfort in the representation an estate attorney can provide in such unsettled times.

When a person is injured by the actions of another and faced with an inability to continue to earn a living for themselves and their family while they need to concentrate on their recovery, a seasoned litigation attorney can often ensure that the party at fault compensates for their negligence.

All of these areas, and more, are offered under the services of Epting and Gillis, LLC.  The services are also combined with the hallmarks that have defined the practices of these once separate firms. Qualities such as fairness, integrity, diligence, and attention to detail are traits that enhance the legal services offered by this firm. The end result is a place where legal needs are met, confidence is instilled, and ongoing relationships can be forged.
