A Restaurant Kid Who Became a Lawyer — and Kept the Apron
Tom Conits has held two jobs since he was fifteen years old. The second one is lawyer.
The first is his family's Greek restaurant, where he started busing tables as a teenager and where you can still find him working today. He'll tell you the restaurant taught him more about representing injured people than any class did: you learn to read a room, to remember that every table is somebody's mother or father, and to fix a problem yourself instead of promising that "someone will get back to you." He's written the long version of that story, in his own words, in What Waiting Tables Taught Me About Injury Law.
That's the whole philosophy of The Carolina Injury Lawyer, and it's why the firm's two signature habits exist: house calls across Greenville and the surrounding counties, and a personal cell number for every client. Neither is a stunt. They're what hospitality looks like when the guest is a person going through the worst month of their year.
"Every client gets my personal cell number. Call or text me directly — you'll never chase a case manager."
Clients hear back from me the same day — and for emergencies, anytime.

Education, Bar Admission, and Where He Learned the Trade
Tom is a Clemson University graduate — Upstate through and through — and earned his law degree at Charleston School of Law in Charleston, South Carolina, an ABA-accredited school and one of only two law schools in the state. He was admitted to the South Carolina Bar in 2021 (Bar No. 104919) and is in good standing.
And the helmet in the logo? It isn't a design flourish. Tom's mother and father were both born in Sparta, Greece, and he still visits nearly every summer. The Spartan helmet has marked his practice from the beginning — first as the name on the door, now as the mark beside a name people can spell.
After law school, he went to work for several of South Carolina's top personal injury firms. That was deliberate. Big plaintiff firms are where you learn how serious cases are actually built: how to value a herniated disc against a policy, when to send a preservation letter so surveillance footage doesn't get overwritten, how trucking companies defend a case, and what makes an adjuster move off a lowball number. Tom did that work on other people's letterhead until he was ready to do it on his own.
What he chose not to take with him was the structure — the intake departments and case-manager layers that leave clients talking to everyone except their lawyer. His practice is built small on purpose: one attorney, personally handling every file. The results of that approach — including what clients actually took home, net of fees and expenses — are on the results page, and what clients say about it is on the reviews page, backed by 20+ five-star Google reviews.
The firm is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating, accredited since 2025. Tom is a member of the South Carolina Association for Justice, the Greenville County Bar Association, and the National Association of Premises Liability Attorneys.
Why He Drives
The house-call habit started with a simple observation from Tom's years inside big injury firms: the clients who most needed a lawyer were the ones least able to reach one. A person with a fractured knee doesn't drive downtown. A mother whose child was bitten by a dog doesn't want to relive it in a conference room. A family keeping vigil at a hospital isn't leaving to keep an office appointment.
So Tom takes the meeting to them. Kitchen tables in Simpsonville and Fountain Inn. Hospital rooms in Greenville. Front porches more than an hour away in Abbeville. The drive is part of the job, the consultation is free wherever it happens, and nothing about a house call costs extra. The full picture of how it works — where he'll go, what to have ready — is on the I Come To You page.
There's a lawyering reason, too, not just a kindness reason. Seeing a client's real life — the stairs, the brace, the missed-shift schedule taped to the fridge — makes the damages section of a demand letter true in a way no phone interview can. Insurers can tell the difference.
Booking a house call is deliberately unceremonious: call or text (864) 777-1000, say where you are, and Tom confirms a time and shows up with everything the meeting needs. No forms to print, no portal to log into, nothing to prepare. It costs exactly what the office consultation costs: nothing.
How Tom Runs a Case
The work
Every file starts with the evidence that disappears first: photographs, camera footage, the police report, witness contacts. Preservation letters go out early — in one of the firm's published results, surveillance footage preserved in the first days of the case is what proved a texting driver caused the wreck. While you treat, Tom tracks the medical picture; when your doctors can say what your recovery really looks like, he builds the demand around the full value of the claim — future care and lost earning power included, not just the bills in the folder. Then he negotiates with the insurer directly, and if the number isn't fair, he files suit. Settlement decisions are always yours; the honest recommendation is always his.
The communication
You'll never wonder who has your file, because one person has it. Tom returns client calls the same day, explains every development in plain English — or in Greek — and walks you through the math before any money moves. Fees are contingency only: no fee unless we win, with fees and expenses explained before you sign. No surprises at the end, because the end was explained at the beginning.
Greek Spoken Here — Properly
Tom is fluent in Greek and English. He grew up in a Greek family, in a Greek restaurant, speaking the language every day — he isn't running your case through a translation app. Consultations, phone calls, and meetings are available in Greek, and Greek-speaking parents, spouses, and grandparents are always welcome at the table. Legal trouble is stressful enough in your first language; nobody should have to negotiate an injury claim in their second.
In practice, it matters most with the paperwork. Insurance policies, medical authorizations, settlement releases — all of it arrives in dense English, and signing something you only half understood is how people get hurt twice. When Tom sits with a Greek-speaking client, every document gets explained in the language the client actually thinks in, and questions get real answers, not a shrug toward a phone interpreter.
100 Williams St, Greenville
Photo slot: about-office-exterior
Home base is at 100 Williams St, just east of downtown Greenville in the Pettigru Street Historic District area, where Williams Street connects East North Street and East Washington Street. The Greenville County Courthouse — 305 E. North Street, where the county's civil cases are heard — is a few blocks away on the same street our block connects to. Directions from I-385 and from downtown are on the contact page, along with a map.
But honestly? Most clients never need to find it. If getting here is hard, Tom comes to you — that's the point of the whole practice. Call or text (864) 777-1000 and tell him where you are.
If you can't come to me, I'll come to you.
I personally drive to clients' homes across Greenville and the surrounding counties — hospital rooms and kitchen tables included. You were just hurt; the last thing you need is a trip to a law office.
