Peake & Fowler

What Peake & Fowler does

Peake & Fowler Law Firm, P.A. is a Columbia, South Carolina-based personal injury law firm founded in 2000 by Charnell Glenn Peake and Thomas "Tommy" K. Fowler, Jr. The firm practices exclusively in personal injury law, with a service portfolio spanning automobile and motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, drunk driving injuries, uninsured motorist claims, workers' compensation, workplace and construction accidents, nursing home abuse and neglect, catastrophic injuries (brain, spinal cord, burns, amputations), wrongful death, medical malpractice, premises liability, child injuries, and mold exposure. Underlying technology is limited to standard legal practice operations — a WordPress website, blog, and video testimonial library — with no proprietary platforms or technology products disclosed.

The firm operates on a contingency fee model across all personal injury matters: clients pay no upfront court costs, legal fees, medical records fees, doctors' reports fees, or expert witness fees, with the firm covering all costs and recovering its fee plus reimbursement from the eventual settlement or verdict. Free initial consultations are offered in-office, by phone, or via home/hospital visits for injured clients. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, relying on local community ties, content marketing through the firm blog and location-specific landing pages, Google reviews, and video testimonials. The firm serves individual injury victims across Columbia and a wide swath of South Carolina counties (Richland, Kershaw, Lexington, Newberry, Sumter, Orangeburg, Florence, Calhoun, Fairfield, Lee, Clarendon).

Customer base is entirely consumer/SMB injury victims on a one-off, episodic basis. The firm has three attorneys (two founding partners and one associate, Robert Anthony Russo), disclosed cumulative outcomes of $35 million recovered for clients across 2,200+ personal injury cases and 4,700+ clients served, and combined founding-partner experience exceeding 100 years. The firm is privately held by its founding partners as a South Carolina professional association with no outside institutional capital.
