“Making the list once was an honor. Making it a third year in a row, and climbing higher, tells us we’re doing something right for the people who trust us with their cases,” said Brandon Dawson, a Founding Partner of the Thumbs Up Guys. “This kind of growth doesn’t happen without a team that shows up for our clients every single day. We’re not chasing a ranking, we’re chasing better outcomes for the people of South Carolina, and we’re proud that the numbers reflect that work.”
At the Thumbs Up Guys, we’ve built our entire firm around standing up to insurance companies, and this recognition proves that fight is working. Since founding in North Charleston, we’ve grown into one of the region’s fastest-growing law firms, expanding across South Carolina and recovering millions of dollars for injured clients.
So far in 2026, we’ve opened our 4th location in Greenville, South Carolina, following the expansion into Columbia last year. We also recently became an Official Partner of Clemson Athletics.
