Saxton & Stump

By far, the best lawyers for family and commercial law. Highly professional, experienced, and effective, this entire firm works well together, leveraging its massive wealth of knowledge and resources as a national firm, with highly compassionate, caring, and deeply knowledgeable service. I would recommend the exceptional lawyers here to any and everyone in Charleston who wants to work with the very best.

Emily Ford is an exceptional attorney whose skill and determination made all the difference for my sons and I. She fought relentlessly on our behalf, navigating complex challenges and achieving what I truly thought was impossible. Her strategic thinking, legal expertise, and ability to anticipate every move gave me confidence throughout the entire process. She cares about her clients and uses her talents and persistence to produce results and resolve for families. I would recommend Emily to anyone who needs a strong, highly capable advocate on their side.

Jessica Partain at the Charleston office has always led me in the right direction. Her knowledge and willingness to work as hard as possible on my case proved her dedication to her job ! She is worth every amount spent !

Bijan Ghom at Saxton & Stump, Charleston represented my family in a complex and emotionally charged civil lawsuit. His skills in preparing for trial were impressive, and his strategies employed maneuvering into a position of strength were fascinating to observe. He worked tirelessly and showed compassion throughout the long-winded process. His blend of intellect and common sense is a rare commodity these days. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Emily Ford joined Bijan as we moved toward preparing for trial, and her ability to sort, process and retain vast amounts of information and her contributions in setting strategies was a gift. Her communication was non-stop keeping us up to date. Together they made a rock star combination that resulted in a very successful resolution.

Rene delivers her legal advice in a kind and compassionate manner. She lays out the facts in easy up understand language. She has a quick response rate, both by phone call or text. Rene makes the unpleasant experience of divorce a little better by not only looking at the details but also the big picture of someone’s life.

I couldn’t speak higher of the Charleston, SC team — especially Rene Dukes and Emily Ford. When my life was turned upside down by a traumatic/toxic divorce they helped piece together my life and were highly knowledgeable on the subject matter and all other subsets of divorce such as custody issues. They were emotionally invested in my case and it showed in the results. Thanks team!

Excellent representation. Emily Ford has an uncanny eye for detail and is a tough negotiator without being pushy, edgey, or, rude. I would trust her and her firm with any legal matters. The pricing and time keeping was accurate and fair. I got more than I expected.
