Our people

Meet the team

Eleanor Westbrook

Founding Partner

Eleanor founded the firm in 2001 after a decade in a large Charleston practice, with a simple conviction: that clients deserve a lawyer who returns their calls and tells them the truth. She leads the firm's estate planning practice and has guided more than a thousand Lowcountry families through their plans.

  • Admitted to the SC Bar, 1996
  • 25+ years in practice

Specialties: Estate planning · Trusts & estates · Probate

James Holloway

Partner, Real Estate

James handles the firm's residential and commercial closings and has sat at more closing tables in Charleston County than he can count. Clients value how calmly he keeps a deal on track and how clearly he explains every line of the settlement statement.

  • J.D., Charleston School of Law
  • Admitted to the SC Bar, 2008
  • Licensed SC title insurance agent

Specialties: Residential closings · Commercial real estate · Title work

Sofia Nguyen

Associate Attorney

Sofia advises the firm's small-business clients on formation, contracts, and the day-to-day questions that come with running a company. A former paralegal, she knows how a matter looks from the client's side of the desk and writes contracts people can actually read.
