About Tiffany
Biography
After spending my first eleven years in public service as the Dorchester County Probate Judge, I decided to join my partner and open a local law firm to assist others in navigating their way through the judicial system. Over the last decade, our two person firm has grown to six attorneys and staff in two lowcountry locations. Our mission is to take a genuine interest in our clients, understand their objectives, and meet or exceed their expectations so that we can become their lifelong attorneys.
While our firm practices in several areas, my focus is on issues surrounding death including probate administration and litigation, wrongful death, and estate planning. I also enjoy mediating cases to help families resolve their disputes outside of the courtroom and get both legal and emotional closure to their issues.

Every estate has that one problem heir
I came to PMC for help dealing with a problematic heir in my mother’s estate I was managing and happy I did.

Sound Logical Advice
I contacted her on behalf of my wife who is the personal representative of her father's estate. She answered my question very timely with a professional and logical advice. If we were in the Charleston area, I would advise my wife to retain her as the attorney for my father in laws's estate.
