Tax firm relocates

Tax, estate and trust law firm Newsome Law has relocated from Bull Street to the TD Bank building on Boyd Plaza in downtown Columbia.

The firm moved to 1501 Main St., Suite 601, from 1913 Bull Street to accommodate a growing business and staff, according to a news release. Newsome Law owner Billy Newsome spent 25 years as a member of Nexsen Pruet before starting the new firm last year.

“We looked at properties for about a year,” Newsome said in the release. “Main Street is thriving, and so are we. We decided to go with this location for the same reason that I tell my clients they should choose an attorney – comfort, familiarity and trust. I practiced law on this street for 25 years, and we plan to be here for many years to come.”

George McCutchen of Wilson Kibler represented Newsome Law in the transaction. The new location’s renovated interior was designed and outfitted by M. Swan Interiors, and Colite provided refreshed signage.
