Your Neighbor.
North Charleston Personal Injury Lawyers
Heist Law Firm was built on a simple promise from founder Brent Heist: you call, I answer. No call center, no runaround — a lawyer who fights for you and stays reachable.
We stand up to insurance companies for injured people and families across the Charleston Lowcountry and all of South Carolina.
Brent Heist, Esq. · Managing Attorney & Founder
You Call, I Answer.
Brent Heist started Heist Law Firm on one promise: every injured client gets a lawyer who actually fights for them — and stays reachable. Licensed in South Carolina, he has been part of settling thousands of injury claims, from car and rideshare crashes to motorcycle, truck, and pedestrian cases.
He handles each case personally. Clients get his own cell number the day they sign, and he makes himself available around the clock. And when an insurance company won’t pay what a case is worth, he isn’t afraid to take it to a jury — the approach behind the firm’s $1.75 million Horry County verdict.
Brent has called the Charleston Lowcountry home since 2013. He volunteers with 180 Place here in Charleston, and outside the office you’ll find him with his family and outdoors. Your lawyer. Your neighbor.
How Heist Law Firm Is Different
We built this firm to be the opposite of the billboard-and-call-center experience. Here’s what that means for you.
You Call, I Answer
Direct access to your lawyer — not a receptionist or a case number. You get Brent’s cell the day you sign.
We Come to You
Hurt, in the hospital, or without a ride? We’ll come to your home, hospital room, or the roadside. Free consultations, day or night.
No Fee Unless We Win
We work on contingency. You pay nothing up front and no fee at all unless we recover for you.
Ready for Trial
We settle cases when the offer is fair — and we’re not afraid to take a case to a jury when it isn’t. That’s how we won $1.75M in Horry County.
Standing Up for the People Insurers Underestimate
Heist Law Firm serves the Charleston Lowcountry and all of South Carolina, including Myrtle Beach and Conway. We’re proud of who we fight for.
Working Families
Construction workers, nurses, restaurant, service, and delivery workers across North Charleston, Hanahan, Goose Creek, and Summerville.
The Spanish-Speaking Community
Hablamos español. Bilingual paralegal Isamar Hurtado handles Spanish-speaking clients so nothing gets lost in translation. Tu abogado. Tu vecino.
Rideshare Victims
Passengers, pedestrians, and drivers hurt in an Uber or Lyft crash — where a $1 million policy most people don’t know about may apply.
A Real Team, Not a Machine
When you hire Heist Law Firm, you get a team that knows your name — attorneys, paralegals, and Charleston School of Law–trained law clerks, all working your case.
Founder of the firm and the responsible attorney on every case. Licensed in South Carolina, he gives clients his own cell the day they sign — and isn’t afraid to take an insurer to trial.
Bilingual paralegal and a first point of contact for the firm’s Spanish-speaking clients, guiding them from intake through resolution. Hablamos español.
Paralegal who keeps every case moving — gathering records, documenting claims, and coordinating next steps so clients can focus on healing.
Supported by a team of Charleston School of Law–trained law clerks who keep every case moving.
$1.75 Million. Nearly 7× the Insurer’s Offer.
Before trial, the insurance company offered just $250,000. We said no — and a Horry County jury returned a unanimous $1.75 million verdict. It’s the clearest proof of how we work: we don’t let insurers lowball the people we represent.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome; every case is different and depends on its own facts.
