Matt McGuire's Story

Founded in 1989 with a mission to provide exceptional legal representation to the people of South Carolina, McGuire Law has grown from a small practice into one of the most trusted legal firms in the region. We understand that legal issues can be overwhelming, whether you're facing criminal charges, dealing with injuries from an accident, or navigating family law matters.

What sets Matt McGuire apart is our commitment to each client's unique situation. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
