Hi, my name is Virtie Little, and I fell through the dock at Myrtle Beach. The expectations of me coming to HLF were that I wanted someone to actually listen to me and help me, because I went to another lawyer and they didn’t do anything. I called them for a month, three times a day, and they never responded back. But just as soon as I called here and I came in for my initial visit, within a week, they already had paperwork that was already working on my case.
HLF made me feel like family, every time I called, they would answer my questions. If they didn’t have an answer, they would get it and get right back with me. I didn’t have to wait. They were always right on it. HLF went out of their way to help me, especially when I needed to go to my deposition and my vehicle wouldn’t make the trip. And Paul actually took me there himself. And that just proved to me that they’re the best at what they do. And just the whole team from the first person in the door to everybody has just been totally amazing. They’ve helped me every way that they could [to] get success in what I was looking for — and they did it.
With over 25 years of legal experience, Paul Hammack provides his clients with a level of trial expertise and strategic insight rarely found in personal injury litigation. Having spent the first eight years of his career working within major insurance defense firms across Georgia and South Carolina, Paul gained an intimate understanding of the “other side’s” playbook. This insurance industry background serves as a unique differentiator for his clients; he knows exactly how insurance carriers evaluate risk and what motivates them to pay top dollar for a claim.
In 2008, Paul founded Hammack Law Firm to move away from the “plaintiff mill” model and focus on building personal relationships with those he represents. As a seasoned litigator, he has tried dozens of first-chair cases to verdict, specializing in high-stakes litigation involving catastrophic injuries and complex truck accidents. His dual-state practice allows him to provide aggressive representation across both South Carolina and Georgia, ensuring victims of negligence receive the maximum financial compensation possible regardless of which side of the state line the accident occurred.
Paul’s commitment to excellence is reflected in his record of significant achievements, including a $10 million tractor-trailer wrongful death settlement and a $3.9 million moped-versus-truck recovery. His credentials and bar admissions in both South Carolina and Georgia underscore his deep roots in the regional legal community. Beyond the courtroom, Paul is a dedicated advocate for his local community, contributing his time and resources to organizations such as the United Way, Red Cross, and Hands On Greenville, all while working to make South Carolina a safer place for everyone.
