GREENVILLE, S.C. – March 21,
2013 –Two familiar names in the
Greenville law community have joined forces to open a new law firm in downtown
Greenville, SC. Christophillis & Gallivan, P.A. opened the doors of their
office located at 300 North Main St. Suite 200 and celebrated the event with a
ribbon cutting and open house.

family law, estate planning, criminal defense, and litigation.

aided in planning strategies important to the small business owner. From there,
Christophillis worked as an Experienced Associate at PricewaterhouseCoopers,
LLP with a focus on legal issues and tax compliance for individuals, LLCs,
partnerships, and corporations.
Christophillis has expanded her
practice to focus on estate planning, probate litigation, and family law which
includes the area of divorce. These areas of law often involve monetary
ramifications that directly affect an individual's future, which is where
Christophillis’ financial background becomes an asset for clients.
Amanda Gallivan, a graduate of
the Darla Moore School of Business and the University of South Carolina School
of Law, began her legal career as a judicial law clerk for The Honorable Roger
L. Couch in the Seventh Circuit. She then worked as an Assistant Solicitor in

tried numerous trials to verdict during her time as an Assistant Solicitor, and
she worked alongside local law enforcement as a member of the Upstate Gang Task
