  • Attorney Wiles was most accommodating in assisting me with my Will and Power of Attorney documents. Her experience and knowledge about estate planning made a very complex and emotional process a very easy and calming experience. Her reassurance and confidence was very appreciated and I will be sending all my family and friends to Brenna Wiles for all their probate needs.

  • Jane’s knowledge and constant communication made dealing with my car accident a breeze from start to settlement. Even when I had basic and simple questions, Jane was quick to respond and made me feel at ease. This firm is so amazing to work with. Highly recommend.

    Jessica H.

  • I recently became the caretaker for my 87-year-old mother who lived alone in another state. After returning to South Carolina with her and not knowing what to do next, I called the probate attorneys at The Peper Law Firm to see what kind of paperwork I needed. Ashley took all my information and within an hour Attorney Wiles quickly drafted all the forms I needed to handle my Mother’s affairs. They were extremely empathetic and caring and I highly recommend this law firm.

    Sylvia R.

  • I started getting calls from insurance companies right after I got a concussion and my car was totaled. I didn’t know who to call back first or what to say to them. A friend referred me to the Peper Law Firm and I immediately knew that I was in good hands with Jane. She sent me everything I needed in minutes and called the insurance companies back on my behalf. She even helped me schedule a doctor’s appointment with someone close to my house and work. Jane and the personal injury attorneys fought hard for me in my time of need and confusion and I got a great settlement.
