About Justin
Justin Hamrick built his legal foundation on two distinct academic stops. He earned his J.D. from Charleston School of Law in 2009 and followed that with an LL.M. in Tax Law from the University of Denver in 2010. Those credentials signal a combination of state-focused training and advanced tax study. They also shape the kinds of matters he handles in practice.
After completing his degrees, Hamrick established his practice in South Carolina. He is a member of the South Carolina Bar and participates in its Probate and Trust Section. He also belongs to the Greenville County Bar Association and the American Bar Association. Those memberships reflect an engagement with local and national professional communities rather than a record of public leadership roles.
Hamrick’s work sits at the intersection of tax, estate planning and probate. The LL.M. in Tax Law has informed how he approaches estate and trust issues, particularly where tax consequences are part of the client's problem. He handles drafting of estate plans, administration of trusts, and probate proceedings. He represents personal representatives, trustees and beneficiaries in matters where asset distribution and tax considerations overlap. His practice requires translating complex federal and state tax rules into clear options for clients who are often dealing with the emotional side of loss and transition.
Colleagues describe Hamrick as deliberate and precise in legal drafting. In court or at the negotiating table he is methodical. He leans on technical training when questions about tax liability or estate valuation arise, and he relies on the Probate and Trust Section for ongoing professional development and updates to case law. Outside of casework, he engages in continuing legal education activities common to attorneys who handle estates and tax issues.
Hamrick works from Heritage Law. His caseload includes estate planning, trust administration and probate litigation, alongside tax-related counsel that stems from his advanced study. He maintains a practice that combines courtroom work, client counseling and document drafting. He practices at Heritage Law, handling probate, trusts, and tax matters.
