And you do it all without sacrificing your edge, your ethics, or your empathy.

About Us 

The Jeffcoat Firm is a respected South Carolina personal injury firm with a reputation for results, heart, and hustle. Our team of attorneys has recovered nearly $100 million for clients across the state — from Columbia and Greenville to Charleston and Myrtle Beach. But numbers only tell part of the story. 

What sets us apart is how we get there: with humility, grit, and relentless advocacy for real people. Whether we’re in the courtroom or the conference room, we treat every case — and every client — like it matters. Because it does. 

We reject ego. We embrace growth. We make no excuses — and expect the same from every team member. 

Now, as we scale to meet increasing demand, we’re looking for a seasoned Supervising Attorney to bring structure, accountability, and strategic leadership to our personal injury division.
