In 2017, I plan on introducing the other members of the Mike Kelly Law Group to the KellyGram nation. Our featured attorney this week is Michael Paul Swearingen. Paul, as his friends call him, was born and raised in Winnsboro, South Carolina, and attended Spartanburg Methodist College and Newberry College. He then attended USC School of Law, graduating in 1998. After law school, Paul went back to Winnsboro and has practiced law and has served the community there ever since. His wife, Amanda, is also part of the Mike Kelly Law Group family, and they have four children, Kristi, Hayden, Ethan and Aiden.

Paul’s practice centers around Wills, Trusts, Estate and Probate Law and Real Estate transactions. He is very experienced in his craft, and is available to our clients in all three offices, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, and Winnsboro. It is important as we go through life and accumulate assets that we have a will and an estate plan to avoid taxes, family disputes, and other bad things that happen when our loved ones leave us. It is also important to have your own lawyer and not depend on the bank and financial institutions’ counsel. For more information on why this is so important, please read Paul’s blog this month on hiring an attorney.
