When our founder, Gary Christmas, first opened Christmas Injury Lawyers in Charleston in 1997, his goal was to help as many people in South Carolina as possible. From day one, our team has worked hard to make that happen. Every year, we push to provide better statewide coverage, access, and legal services to our personal injury clients with the goal of making their lives a bit easier. Recently, we doubled down on that goal by opening a fourth office in Columbia, South Carolina! Our new branch is located at 3135 Millwood Ave., Suite A3, so it could be just around the corner from you. We’ve already met many of our neighbors virtually, and it has been amazing to see our new community band together to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. Speaking of that, if you’re stuck at home or feeling down about the crisis, here are few fun facts we’ve learned about Columbia that might help lighten your mood.
• Columbia has one of the only dedicated puppet theaters in the country: The Columbia Marionette Theater!
• Congaree National Park, just a short drive outside the city, is home to the tallest trees east of the Mississippi. Columbia is a fascinating community, and we’re looking forward to getting to know its residents better. Plus, of course, all of us at Christmas Injury Lawyers are excited to continue growing and working hard to serve you. If you live in Columbia and could use our help, you can reach our new office by calling 803-766-0707.

Columbia was the very first city in the U.S. to be named for Christopher Columbus. Columbia is nicknamed “Soda City” because way back in the day, people used to shorten “Columbia” to “Cola,” and the synonym stuck.
