About

The Mace Firm is a personal injury law practice based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, serving accident and injury victims across South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Founded by Russell Mace, a federal criminal defense attorney with extensive courtroom experience, the firm has spent over 17 years pursuing compensation for injured individuals and families harmed by the negligence of others.

The firm handles a wide range of personal injury matters, including automobile and trucking accidents, motorcycle collisions, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, slip-and-fall incidents, and defective product claims. The attorneys also represent clients in wrongful death cases, drawing on their experience in both state and federal litigation across multiple jurisdictions. This broad jurisdictional experience—spanning Federal Courts and numerous state courts throughout the United States—distinguishes the firm among larger regional practices in the Grand Strand area.

The team includes several licensed attorneys. Russell Mace serves as founder and lead trial counsel; Nicole Elizabeth Nicolette, who joined the firm in 2004, is licensed to practice in South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. Amy Raffaldt brought paralegal experience from 2008 before attending law school, giving her firsthand familiarity with the firm's civil, criminal, and appellate work. Trish Summersett and Shannon Doody round out the professional staff, each bringing their own background and skill to client representation.

The Mace Firm's approach centers on understanding that personal injury victims face compounding hardships—significant pain, mounting medical bills, lost income, and in fatal cases, devastating family loss. The attorneys work to recover compensation covering medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, lost future earnings, rehabilitation costs, and other injury-related damages. The firm's recovery record reflects this commitment: the lead trial attorney holds membership in both the Million Dollar and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, signaling a track record of substantial awards.

With offices in Myrtle Beach and a pending Charleston location, The Mace Firm represents clients across South Carolina's major cities and surrounding areas, including Charleston, Florence, Columbia, and Greenville. The firm emphasizes vigorous advocacy and a client-focused approach, prioritizing the financial and legal recovery of those who have been wronged.
