The Finkel Law Firm LLC Story

Over 50 Years Handling Legal Matters in South Carolina

Founded in 1970, Finkel Law Firm LLC (the “Finkel Firm”) has been serving people and businesses of South Carolina for over fifty years.

IN THE BEGINNING

After representing the Plaintiffs in the case of Mims v. Yarborough, 343 F.Supp. 1146 (D.C.S.C. 1971), Finkel Law Firm LLC made a conscious commitment to provide legal services in complex legal matters. The Mims case was a significant decision involving a suit for an injunction against public officials charged with carrying out a proposed water project.

In a companion case, Finkel Law Firm LLC also was able to successfully use federal antitrust law. See Mims v. Kemp, 516 F.2d 21 (4 ^th Cir. 1975). These cases set the stage for Finkel Law Firm LLC’s reputation for representing individuals and businesses in complex legal matters. Over the years, the Firm has continued to be involved in a number of major cases of novel impression, and continued to develop a reputation for handling complex cases.

THE 1980'S

In the 1980's, Finkel Law Firm LLC represented the major creditor, Marathon Oil Company, in its $60,000,000 claim in the Hilton Head Bankruptcy. Finkel Law Firm LLC also represented Brittons and Sam Solomon Company in their Chapter 11 proceedings and represented the Unsecured Creditors Committee in the Braswell Shipyards, Inc. bankruptcy.

THE 1990'S

In Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Counsel, 60 L.W. 4842 (1992), Finkel Law Firm LLC successfully challenged South Carolina’s Beach Front Management Act and required the state to pay for the impact of that statute on individual home owners and other property owners.

Finkel Law Firm LLC represented the developers of the tallest building in South Carolina in the bankruptcy case of Capital Center Associates, Inc. where the claims of the secured creditors alone exceeded $55,000,000 and represented the developers in several complex commercial work outs including Frontage Realty Limited Partnership, Park Area Development, Wes-Mar, Columbia Capital Holding Corporation, and Stoneridge Limited Partnership.

THE 2000'S

In the early part of the decade, Finkel Law Firm LLC grew its construction litigation practice and its foreclosure practice. Between 1998 and the end of 2005, Finkel Law Firm LLC had resolved millions of dollars of construction litigation on behalf of homeowners. In 2006, Finkel Law Firm LLC concluded two large suits involving beach front condominiums with those homeowners associations receiving significant settlements to effect much needed repairs. In addition, the foreclosure department of Finkel Law Firm LLC grew to where it now handles millions of dollars worth of foreclosures each year.

Thus, Finkel Law Firm LLC’s reputation continues to grow in the State Courts of South Carolina.
