About
We’re driven by one thing: Making Our Clients’ Lives Better.
With almost 30 years of legal experience, Greenville personal injury lawyer Thomas Creech has stood strong for many Greenville and Upstate families.
He has successfully represented clients in high-stakes cases involving car accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability, product liability, and other serious personal injury matters. His experience in the courtroom gives clients confidence that their case is prepared not just for settlement, but for trial if necessary.
Many clients come to our firm when they need more than a quick settlement. They need careful preparation, sound legal judgment, and an attorney willing to stand up to insurance companies and large corporations. Our firm has recovered tens of millions of dollars for clients who suffered serious injuries or lost loved ones due to negligence.
At Thomas Creech Law Offices, we believe injured people deserve a strong advocate who will fight for full and fair compensation.
If you or a loved one has been injured, contact our Greenville personal injury law firm today to discuss your case and learn how we can help protect your rights.

Trial Lawyer, Owner & Founder
Tom Creech
Thomas Creech’s over 27-year law career started as a judicial law clerk and prosecutor, but his real passion was advocating for injured people in his hometown of Greenville, SC. In 2003, with no clients and no staff, he opened this firm, determined to use the law to help those in need. His hard work and dedication paid off, as he and his team have since built a thriving practice, standing by many in Greenville and Upstate South Carolina on their journey to justice.
Born and raised in Greenville, Tom is not only a talented trial lawyer but also someone who truly cares about his community. When he’s not working, you can find him running in his favorite shoes-Revolution by NIKE, traveling with his family, being active in his church, or enjoying some downtime listening to music, reading, or watching his favorite sports teams (especially baseball).
