About

The Floyd Law Firm is a civil litigation practice based on Johns Island, South Carolina, serving the greater Charleston area and beyond. Led by attorney James L. Floyd III (known as Lee), the firm has spent over 14 years representing individuals and companies in disputes arising from construction defects, personal injury, insurance claims, and other civil matters.

Lee Floyd founded the firm with a specific mission: to help homeowners and residents navigate the complex legal landscape of civil litigation. His career path has given him distinctive insight into both sides of the practice. He has worked for large defense law firms as well as smaller boutique operations focused on representing individuals, an experience that informs his approach to handling the full spectrum of civil litigation challenges rather than narrowing his focus to any single issue.

The firm concentrates heavily on construction defect claims, a natural extension of Lee's deep knowledge of how homes fail and what homeowners should know about their rights when structural and water-damage issues arise. The firm helps clients understand common construction problems, including water intrusion resulting from faulty window, siding, roof, or door installation; roof leaks that may remain hidden in attics for extended periods before visible damage appears inside a home; and foundation cracks that can signal serious structural movement. The firm recognizes that many of these defects are latent—not immediately apparent to homeowners without professional investigation—and works to document and prove damages that contractors or builders might dismiss.

Beyond construction defects, the Floyd Law Firm handles personal injury claims, insurance claim disputes, eminent domain matters, and general civil litigation across multiple areas of law, including medical malpractice and products liability. The firm's breadth of experience allows it to address cases that might fall outside its primary focus areas; prospective clients with questions about whether their matter fits the firm's capabilities are encouraged to call.

The firm serves Johns Island and the surrounding Charleston area, including Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester, and Colleton counties. Although based in the Lowcountry, the firm has represented clients throughout South Carolina and is capable of handling cases across the state.

Client testimonials highlight Lee's approachability and professionalism. Clients and professionals working with the firm consistently note his expertise in construction and homeowners association matters, his personable demeanor, and his willingness to address legal questions directly.

The Floyd Law Firm offers a free initial consultation. Prospective clients can reach the firm by phone at (803) 361-4812 to discuss their situation and learn what representation might look like.
