About the Firm

Local Roots. Statewide Reach.

Newberry Wieters is a Charleston litigation boutique founded on the idea that clients deserve senior-level attention on every matter.

Our Story

Built for complex matters — without the layers.

Newberry Wieters was founded by two Charleston, SC based attorneys who spent much of their careers with a large national firm handling multi-million-dollar construction, coverage, injury, and commercial disputes across South Carolina. They founded Newberry Wieters to continue providing large firm experience, but in a small firm atmosphere where clients receive senior-level, personalized attention with a local focus.

How We Practice

Four things we care about.

01

Perspective

Together, our attorneys have represented plaintiffs and defendants, contractors and owners, policyholders and insurers, product manufacturers and designers. Our range provides us with perspective which allows us to think creatively to find solutions.

02

Preparation

Cases are won on the details. We prepare every matter as though it is going to trial — because sometimes it does.

03

Judgment

Clients hire lawyers to make judgment calls, provide options and implement plans of action. Our advice is candid, specific, and structured to your goals.

04

Responsiveness

Our size is our feature. You will work directly with our partners, not through gatekeepers.

A Different Kind of Practice

Senior attention on every matter.

We deliberately kept the firm small. When you retain Newberry Wieters, you get a founding partner who knows the file, has tried cases in this state, and will pick up the phone.
