Bernstein & Bernstein traces its history back to Isadore S. Bernstein, who opened the firm shortly after serving as a captain in the U.S. Army during World War II in the Judge Advocate General’s Office. After returning home, he launched his private practice and also taught business law at the University of South Carolina. That early mix of service, leadership, and legal rigor helped shape the firm’s reputation for steady, principled work.
Over the decades, that foundation of hard work and high standards carried forward as the firm expanded through new partnerships and later welcomed the next generation of attorneys. Today, Bernstein & Bernstein remains a multigenerational South Carolina law firm grounded in long term client relationships and deep local knowledge.
Bernstein & Bernstein offers representation across a wide range of practice areas, including personal injury, workers’ compensation, criminal defense, DUI defense, commercial and residential real estate, probate and estates, and corporate law. That breadth allows the firm to support clients through legal issues that often overlap. It also means clients can work with one trusted team as their needs evolve.
Rather than approaching cases in isolation, the firm highlights the value of diverse legal experience under one roof, with attorneys who can look at the whole picture and guide clients toward the strongest possible outcome.
Every attorney at Bernstein & Bernstein attended the University of South Carolina School of Law and has spent years practicing within South Carolina. That shared background translates into practical advantages for clients. The firm knows the local courts, understands the nuances of state law, and brings real familiarity with how cases tend to move through the system here.
While the firm is proudly rooted in Columbia, they represent clients across the state. Whether someone needs help after a serious accident, guidance through a workers’ comp dispute, or defense in a criminal or DUI case, Bernstein & Bernstein positions itself as a steady advocate for South Carolinians wherever they live.
Bernstein & Bernstein brings decades of legal experience to every matter, but their story is not only about longevity. It is about what that history provides today: smart strategy built on real precedent, confidence in court, and the perspective to guide clients through high stakes moments with clarity and calm.
The result is a firm that balances tradition with modern advocacy, while keeping the human side of legal work front and center.
