Practice
The same lawyer who handles the federal and class cases also handles serious civil files and real estate closings in Bluffton and across the Lowcountry.
The docket
Galvin Law Group is not a volume personal-injury mill and not a title-company desk with a lawyer’s name on the letterhead. The civil side of the practice is the same standard as the federal and class work: read the file, prepare it as if it will be tried, and take the cases that justify that effort.
Some clients come because a contract failed, a business partner will not account, or a wreck left real harm. Others come because they are buying or selling a house in Bluffton, Hilton Head, or Beaufort County and need a lawyer at the table — not a closer who first sees the file the morning of funding.
The office is at 23 Plantation Park. Call if the matter is serious enough to belong here.
Litigation and closings are scheduled from the same Bluffton office. Hours are Monday–Thursday 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. and Friday 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

Civil litigation here is for disputes that will not settle on a form letter. The firm prepares contract, business, and injury cases the way a trial lawyer prepares them: the documents, the witnesses, the damages, and the order of proof.
Business and contract files include broken deals, unpaid work, partnership and account disputes, and the civil aftermath of a commercial relationship that failed. The question is whether the facts can be proved and whether the amount in controversy is worth the fight.
Injury work is limited to serious harm — vehicle wrecks and other cases in Beaufort County and throughout South Carolina where the damages justify a trial lawyer. Soft-tissue volume files and cases that exist only to generate a demand package are not the practice.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. The firm does not take every civil inquiry.
Closings
Real estate closings are a standing part of the practice. The work is residential and related closings in Bluffton and the Lowcountry: purchase, sale, and the last-week problems that stall funding — title exceptions, walk-through issues, survey and easement questions, and the lender package that arrives late.
A closing is not a ceremony. It is the last chance to see whether the deed, the title commitment, the survey, and the numbers match what the contract promised. The firm reviews those papers before anyone sits down to sign.
Call the office to schedule. Bring the contract, the title work, and the lender’s closing disclosure when you have them. Friday hours end at 1:00 p.m.; do not wait until Friday afternoon to start a closing that funds the same day.
The firm does not advertise for every fender-bender in the county. Injury and civil files are taken when the harm and the proof justify trial preparation.
The person who handles the federal and class cases is the person who handles the civil file and sits at the closing table. The work is not handed to a rotating associate the client has never met.
