Before founding Annie Andrews Law, she spent seven years representing people who couldn’t afford a lawyer, trying dozens of cases to verdict, and learning what it really means to fight for someone when the system is working against them. That foundation shaped everything about how she practices law today. It was during that work, representing children who had been abused, neglected, and forgotten, that everything changed.

When a client told her he didn’t have a single book to read, Annie didn’t just feel for him. She did something about it. She organized a drive that put over 4,000 books into juvenile facilities across Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville. She also uncovered unconstitutional conditions inside the Charleston County Juvenile Detention Center and refused to look away, spearheading a civil rights lawsuit that ultimately led to the closure of the fifty-year-old facility and ended decades of unconstitutional youth confinement.

That’s who Annie is, someone who hears what a client needs and finds a way to answer it, whether that’s in a courtroom or not.

That lawsuit was the turning point. To see it through, Annie moved into private practice, where she began representing people who had been harmed by the very systems meant to protect them. Today Annie focuses on personal injury, catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases. Her clients are rarely the most powerful people in the room. They’re people who’ve been seriously hurt, overlooked, or let down by a negligent driver, a dangerous condition, or a medical system that failed them when they were most vulnerable. That’s always been her corner of the courtroom.
