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.

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
