Charleston County Real Estate Lawyers

Trial Lawyers Who Close Deals & Fight When Deals Go Wrong

When a real estate transaction is on the line, your investment deserves more than a closing-only attorney. At Bluestein Johnson & Burke, LLC, we handle both sides of real estate law: closings and litigation. Our litigation background gives us the ability to evaluate what happens when the parties no longer agree, not just facilitate smooth transactions. We have guided clients through real estate closings, development projects, and disputes alike. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, developer, builder, or contractor, our Charleston County real estate attorneys know how to protect your investment at every stage.

Our hands-on attention to detail and 40+ years of combined experience give us the knowledge to help clients pursue their goals and protect their interests. When something goes wrong, we’re ready to act.

Serving Charleston County Since 1984

Charleston County’s real estate market moves fast. In areas like Mount Pleasant and North Charleston, buyers, sellers, and developers routinely face zoning complications, title questions, shifting ordinances, and disputes that closing-only attorneys aren’t equipped to handle. What sets our firm apart is that we bring a real estate lawyer Charleston County clients can turn to for both a transaction and a courtroom fight, under one roof.

Local Knowledge Built Over Decades

From historic properties in downtown Charleston to commercial development in West Ashley, we know the legal frameworks that apply to Charleston County’s distinct property landscape, including property tax implications, title disputes, land use restrictions, and the ripple effects new development can have on surrounding communities. Our attorneys monitor local zoning and property law developments and engage directly with county agencies to keep that guidance current.

South Carolina law requires a licensed attorney to supervise every real estate closing, whether financed or a cash purchase. The South Carolina Supreme Court established this in State v. Buyers Service Co., 292 S.C. 426, 357 S.E.2d 15 (1987), and the SC Consumer Protection Code reinforces the buyer’s right to select the closing attorney. That choice matters more than most buyers realize. Our firm has been serving Charleston County clients since 1984, and we’ve spent decades building the local familiarity that transactional and litigation work both require. Consultation appointments are available for clients with demanding schedules.
