About

Peter is a seasoned trial lawyer, having tried numerous cases to verdict. He is a zealous advocate for his clients, and has an unparalleled willingness to "go the distance" for them. He is a skilled negotiator, and has settled thousands of cases spanning multiple areas of law, including: employment, personal injury, workers' compensation, Social Security & Disability, business, and estate planning. Peter is admitted to practice law in South Carolina, as well as U.S. District Court. Peter enjoyed his time serving his clients at one of the most prestigious law firms in Charleston, and learned a great deal from some of the finest lawyers in the region. He realized that his ability to help people is best suited for a smaller environment, and he created his own law practice of Kaufman Labor & Employment Solutions, LLC.  Peter handles a wide variety of injury and employment law cases and is passionate about helping his clients. His client-centered approach, sharp legal skills and stellar reputation make Peter a valued advocate for those he serves. Peter earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin and a law degree from the Charleston School of Law. While a law student, Peter performed an astonishing 1,550 hours of pro bono public service, by far the most of any Charleston Law student in the school’s history. Peter’s hard work and dedicated service were recognized by the school’s dean and profiled in a feature article by the Charleston Post & Courier. Prior to becoming a trial lawyer, Peter enjoyed a successful 14-year career as an on-air radio DJ at various radio stations throughout the country. It was an exciting career, which gave him the opportunity to work with the public, and what Peter found to be the most rewarding part of the job. When Peter initiated a station-sponsored fundraiser for an eleven year old girl in need of an organ transplant, he decided he wanted to make a career out of helping others, and became a trial lawyer.

Peter was excellent to work with. He was hard working and we could tell he really cared about us. He went above and beyond what was required. If we ever need legal assistance again, he will be our first call! Couldn’t recommend him more!

I consulted with Peter regarding employment contract issues. He was very knowledgeable and direct with his assessment and advice. I felt that he listened to my concerns and I truly felt that he was on my side which is how one should feel in these difficult moments. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.

After doing a lot of research for a lawyer I felt I could trust, I came across Peter Kaufman. I gave him a call and he got back to me the next day. He was very helpful with answering all my questions and took a lot of my worries away the more we talked. If I am ever in need of a lawyer again he will be the first I call without hesitation. Very personable and professional.

Peter is very knowledgeable in all aspects of law. He advises appropriately, considering all aspects of the case and situation. His written communication is stellar, not missing any opportunities to bring to light the concerns and opportunities for immediate resolution and improvement. I would not hesitate recommending Peter and would gladly use again.

I consulted with Peter regarding a legal concern I had. He listened carefully, explained the pros and cons of litigation and provided sound insight and alternatives. Although I decided not to move forward with my case, I would definitely recommend him and will certainly reach out to him again if I have a future need.

I was having massive issues resolving a severance case with my former employer, and Peter was the exact person I needed. We had a lengthy phone consultation initially, and I knew after that first conversation that he would be the ally I needed. After getting non-answers for about a month on my own, Peter stepped in and was able to gain traction in just a few days. He's not only concerned for the best interest of his client, he's responsive and honest. I'm extremely appreciative of the attention Peter gave my case and how it was handled. If I'm ever in need of an attorney for this type of situation again, I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to hire Peter again.
