Grounded in the mindset of the preservation of justice for all, our firm attributes this milestone to the incredible attorneys and staff that continue to serve our clients with the highest quality of service. Our successes are rooted in our attorney experience and client dedication. While we celebrate this landmark as a firm, we want to thank those who have trusted us to defend and serve them and look forward to the many years to come.

Our History

Attorney F. Dean Rainey, Sr. founded the firm in 1948 and expanded to four attorneys by 1958. Almost two decades later, H. Mills Gallivan and Daniel B. White joined the firm with the highest starting salary in South Carolina, followed by W. Howard Boyd, Jr. joining in 1977. By 1984, the firm expanded to 17 attorneys and moved into the Coffee Street location in Greenville, SC. With great success, the firm continued to grow and by 1998 had 27 attorneys. With over 65 attorneys currently supporting the firm, the growth and dedication accomplished only further highlights the opportunities for the future, afforded only by those that devoted themselves to the firm from the very beginning.
