In a phrase, Cobb, Dill & Hammett can handle all of their clients’ legal needs “from cradle to grave,” with departments in real estate, business/banking law, family law, criminal defense and personal injury. They don’t need to refer clients to anyone else. “We just walk them down the hall and introduce them to our highly trained attorneys in the area of their legal concern,” noted Dill. “Whatever legal needs you have, we can help you through it.” When it comes to attracting new clients, Cobb, Dill & Hammett does not rely on aggressive television commercials. Said Dill, “Our only advertising is a sole billboard.” That billboard, in an obvious and conscious play on words, reads “In a pickle? Call Dill.” Dill, who was an associate at a boutique firm before becoming a partner at Cobb, Dill & Hammett, looked back fondly at his experience at Charleston School of Law. “My studies there prepared me well for my current position,” he stated. “I learned how to write legally, which is very different from ‘normal’ writing.” The firm now enjoys hiring Charleston School of Law students and helping them further their legal careers.
