Summer
Eudy
C liché as it is, i always wanted
to go to law school,” said Summer Eudy,
managing partner of the Good Law
Group. But Eudy is anything but cliché.
At the University of North Carolina, she
double-majored in Political Science and
Exercise and Sports Science and even considered going to
physical therapy school before following her heart to the
Charleston School of Law.
“Nobody in my family is a lawyer,
so I wasn’t trying to follow in
anyone’s footsteps,” she said. “Law school just appealed to
me.”
While her thoughts of physical therapy school never
came to fruition, Eudy’s exercise and sports science back-
ground helped her get into the type of law she practices
today.
“I do a lot of personal injury cases,” Eudy explained. “Of
course it’s important to know about anatomy and physiol-
ogy, but there are a lot of cases where the injury is disputed.
Having a degree in that allows me a deeper understanding
and ability to fight for my client.”
Eudy began her career doing plaintiff’s work for a small
practice, where she met her future business partner, Joe
Good. She then spent three-and-a-half years doing civil de-
fense work before partnering with Good to form the Good
Law Group LLC in 2013.
“Those experiences helped shape me as a lawyer, because
I got to see both sides of the aisle by representing individu-
als as well as corporate and government entities,” Eudy said.
“It helped me decide what kind of firm I wanted to estab-
lish. And I can use what I learned to benefit my clients.”
Today, Eudy represents clients in all realms of civil litiga-
tion, including personal injury, business litigation, employ-
ment and construction defect litigation, as well as family
law and criminal defense cases.
Good Law Group LLC is located in a unique build-
ing – a renovated 1970s bank – which sits right on Shem
Creek, at the corner of Coleman Boulevard and Mill Street.
The home of Good Law Group LLC has been a staple on
Coleman Boulevard for many years, and now it is getting
a facelift. Eudy and her clients really enjoy the cottage that
houses the firm and the easy parking. Eudy designed the
interior of the office to be chic but rustic and intentionally
unlike a typical law office.
“It makes our clients feel relaxed when they meet with
us, and that is helpful considering they are generally facing
a stressful situation when they come to our office,” she said.
Eudy is inspired in her career to seek out the right and
the wrong and protect people’s rights.
“In one of my early cases, I represented a young woman
who was wrongfully marked by the police as ‘at fault’ in a
terrible car accident in which she lost her life. I got to know
her parents; they became my friends,” she smiled. “We had
a good outcome in the case, but my biggest accomplish-
ment was proving the accident was not her fault. That
meant so much more to her parents than the money. And
that was worth everything to me.”
