Firm History
With more than 70 years of history serving people and businesses in Columbia, South Carolina, Callison Tighe & Robinson prides itself on our commitment to providing quality legal services with a personal touch.
The law firm traces its roots back to 1947. That was the year Preston H. Callison established a legal practice that primarily served the real estate industry. Michael W. Tighe joined Preston in 1971. When Ralph C. “Robbie” Robinson merged his legal practice with Preston and Mike in 1983, the firm took on its current name.
In the decades since, the firm has grown in size and depth. Our practice has diversified to include skilled trial lawyers who represent clients in all state and federal courts in South Carolina, as well as corporate attorneys capable of helping nurture a business at every stage of its lifecycle. Attorneys in the real estate practice area assist with complex financing and commercial development as well as transactions. Our trusts and estate attorneys help with personal, business and tax planning. Other attorneys represent clients in workers’ compensation, medical malpractice, personal injury and white-collar criminal cases as well as military court martial defense.
Though our practice areas have expanded throughout the firm’s history, one thing remains the same. Regardless of the case or issue, every attorney at our firm remains dedicated to upholding Preston Callison’s promise to treat every client as an individual. Our attorneys work hard to understand the needs and priorities of everyone who enters the office. We strive to create cost-efficient strategies geared toward our clients’ individual goals rather than relying on cookie-cutter legal solutions.
