Our History

Our founding partner was Luther M. Lee (1923-1996), who attended the University of South Carolina after serving in the United States Army during World War II. Upon admission to the South Carolina Bar in 1951, Mr. Lee went to work for Gary Paschal. Mr. Paschal’s colorful career included serving as Mayor Pro Tem of Columbia and as a freedom fighter in South America. Mr. Paschal’s primary focus was on criminal defense and Mr. Lee developed the personal injury side of the practice, in addition to handling criminal and domestic matters.

Sherod Eadon joined the firm as an attorney in 1981, after having previously worked under Mr. Lee as a law clerk in the 1970’s. Mr. Eadon continued to build the firm’s growing personal injury practice which included workers’ compensation claimsauto and trucking accidents, and medical malpractice claims.
