We keep things straightforward and meet our clients where they are (whether that’s in the office or over a quick text) because we’re committed to being accessible and investing in your success.

Licensed to practice law in the State of South Carolina, Joey brings over a decade of experience to his commercial real estate practice. He provides clients with attentive, results-driven representation, guiding them through the negotiation and review of purchase, sale, and lease agreements, title abstract review, title insurance commitments, and the handling of commercial real estate transactions from contract to closing table. Known for his responsiveness and straightforward counsel, he takes the time to understand each client’s goals and works to protect their interests at every stage of a deal.
Education
- BS from Presbyterian College
- JD from Charleston School of Law
Outside the Office
Outside the office, Joey trades contracts for waders and shotgun shells — chasing trout on the fly and ducks at first light whenever his schedule allows. Most weekends, though, you'll find him at home by his wife and two daughters.

Who We Are
- A trustworthy advocate. Trust isn’t given, it’s earned. We invest in lasting relationships with our clients so they always feel confident we have their best interests at heart.
- Highly efficient and time-conscious. We value your time as much as our own. That means no charging per email or unnecessary lengthy meetings, just practical solutions.
- Flexible. Every client works differently, and we’re built to meet you where you are. Quick to adapt and go with the flow, we’ll find the approach that works best for you.
- Evolving. We embrace technology to make legal services more convenient for you. We too want to enjoy life outside of the office (preferably on a boat) and are just as comfortable closing a deal remotely as we are in the office.
Who We Aren't
- A traditional 9-5 office. Need to text instead of call? Can’t come to our office to close? Working from your beach house? We make it easy to get business done, wherever that business needs to take place.
- Stuffy and dated. You won’t find any clashing egos over here. Our entire team is approachable, hands-on, and willing to do the work to get the job done right.
Let's Get the Job Done.
