NEWBERRY — With the new year comes a new name for Pope Parker Jenkins, P.A. formally known as Pope and Hudgens, P.A. While the name has changed, operations and personnel remain the same.

Chad Jenkins and Kyle Parker have practiced with the firm for 17 and 12 years respectively. According to Managing Member Thomas Pope III, Jenkins became a partner 14 years ago and Parker eight years ago.

“We did the name change because both have worked hard and have been here a number of years,” Pope said. “It was appropriate to have their names on the firm. This is a reward for working hard, to be a named partner in the firm.”

Joseph Hudgens will continue to serve of counsel to Pope Parker Jenkins, and according to a recent press release, his experience and legal advise has been, and will continue to be, helpful to the name-partners in serving the needs of the firm’s clients.

Pope’s father, Thomas H. Pope started the firm in 1938. Just as Pope and Hudgens did for the last 70 years, the firm of Pope Parker Jenkins will continue to provide representation to clients in virtually all areas of practice; business matters; estate and probate matters; criminal defense; divorce and child custody and real estate.

The firm will likewise continue in active litigation practice in state and federal courts; products liability, probate and fiduciary litigation, wrongful death and personal injury cases, condemnation cases on behalf of landowners, and many other types of cases.

Pope Parker and Jenkins will remain at 1508 College Street, Newberry, with the same phone number, 803-276-2532. However, their website has changed and is now www.ppjlaw.com.
