Overview

Over 300 Years of Combined Legal Experience

Founded in 1991 in Conway, SC by Attorney Dirk J. Derrick, Derrick Law Firm Injury Lawyers has grown from a small local office into a statewide practice. Over the last decade, the firm has expanded to ten office locations with six in-house courtrooms, 33 attorneys, and over 60 staff members.

With offices in Conway, Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet, Mt. Pleasant, North Charleston, Charleston, Florence, Columbia, and Greenville, the firm now serves clients across South Carolina.

Derrick Law Firm also operates a full Spanish-speaking team to support the state’s growing Hispanic population.

The Legal Truth for SC Residents

Committed to educating South Carolinians about their legal rights, Dirk now co-hosts The Legal Truth podcast with Pearl Carey, the firm’s Creative Marketing Manager. The show offers practical insights into state laws, legal processes, and common misconceptions that can affect personal injury claims. Episodes such as “The Truth About Recovering Lost Wages” and “What You Should Know Before Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer” aim to help listeners make informed decisions and avoid surprises.

The podcast is available at derricklawfirm.com/legaltruthpodcast and on all major podcast platforms.

Working To Get Our Clients Real Value Faster

Beyond providing free information and scholarships to deserving student-athletes, Derrick Law Firm has developed an innovative jury research focus group service to better understand community standards and achieve fair case outcomes more efficiently. Launched in 2019, this program has gathered personal data from more than 26,000 citizens and recorded opinions from over 10,000 mock jurors.

Partnering with data scientists, the firm created a proprietary database to analyze juror responses - insight that helps attorneys negotiate settlements and reduce the need for lengthy litigation.

The firm now provides focus group jury research services nationwide helping attorneys throughout the country build stronger cases, properly evaluate their cases, and present their cases at trial in a data-proven manner.

Past results don’t guarantee future results, but you are guaranteed our best efforts.
