History

Nathaniel A. Turner opened his office for the general practice of law in 1929, after serving as an attorney for the South Carolina Tax Commission and division director for the South Carolina Highway Department. In those early decades, Padget, Graham and Edward Laney built names for themselves and their firm as lawyers of impeccable skill and great client service. The firm really began to grow across the state of South Carolina in the 1980s with its second office in Florence. By the 1990s, the firm had dozens of lawyers and established the Charleston, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach offices. In 2017 and 2018, respectively, the firm expanded by opening an office in Augusta, Georgia and Columbia County.

Today, Turner Padget is a vibrant multi-disciplinary firm that still seeks to reflect those early values instilled by its founders: Good lawyering and client service.

After 95 years, Nat Turner’s solo practice is now one of South Carolina’s largest law firms and provides services in all surrounding states, with hundreds of employees serving a diverse client base.
