History

Established in 1895.

When P.A. Willcox moved to Florence County from Marion, SC, the city of Florence was just being formed and he immediately became a figure in the community and was even mentioned as a possible choice for the town’s first mayor. Mr. Willcox won Florence County court’s first suit in 1889 and in 1892 he successfully defended in a famous murder case that established his reputation in the area. The firm, like the city of Florence, has its history rooted in the railroad industry and has been a part of Florence since its inception. Joined by his cousin, Fred L. Willcox in 1895 the Willcox Law Firm was formed. When the area became a great railroad center, the firm emerged as the leading representative for the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Atlantic Timber Company. P. A Willcox eventually became General Solicitor for Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
