Louise Griffith

Director of Client Care | Certified Paralegal

Louise is a graduate of South Piedmont Community College, with a degree in Paralegal Studies and Certification in Legal Office Systems. She extended her legal knowledge by attending Central Piedmont Community College, where she majored in the areas of Business and Corporate Law, and Business Management.

In 2007, Louise became a Certified Legal Assistant (CLA) through the National Association of Legal Assistants. She later attained an accreditation as a Certified Estate Planning Legal Assistance which enhanced her skills related to estate planning and elder law. To achieve this status, she passed a two-day nationwide examination, similar to the bar exam for attorneys. This nationwide test assessed her knowledge on a multitude of legal subjects ranging from client relations, legal research to substantive law. There are only approximately 15,000 CLAs in the United States.

Louise is most known for her warm, welcoming, and down to earth manner of communication with the firm’s clients. She is very well versed in not only estate planning and asset protection, but in Medicaid and other public benefit programs.

Louise and Julia have worked together since 2004 and have experienced many of life’s ups and downs together over the last two decades together.

Louise P. Griffith currently lives in Lancaster, South Carolina with her husband Michael Griffith. She is the mother of two sons: James M. Johnson and Jason O. Johnson.
