The Stanley Law Group, a Columbia-based personal injury firm, announced that attorneys Mark B. Stanley and Breon Walker Offord have been selected to the 2026 South Carolina Super Lawyers list. This honor is reserved for a small percentage of attorneys in the state who demonstrate excellence in their practice, according to the firm's press release.
Super Lawyers is a rating service that identifies outstanding attorneys through a multiphase selection process involving peer nominations, independent research, and peer evaluation. No more than five percent of lawyers in each state are named to the Super Lawyers list each year, making selection a meaningful mark of professional distinction.
Mark B. Stanley, a Columbia native, earned his B.S. in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina, where he served as captain of a baseball team that reached three consecutive College World Series. He holds dual Master's degrees in Business Administration and Information Science from North Carolina Central University and received his Juris Doctorate from Florida A&M University College of Law. Mr. Stanley has tried numerous personal injury cases to verdict and has earned recognition as a Top 10 Under 40 Personal Injury Lawyer by the National Academy of Personal Injury Attorneys, a Legal Elite designation from Columbia Business Monthly, and a Super Lawyers Rising Star selection. He is licensed in both South Carolina and Florida.
Breon Walker Offord brings 15 years of trial experience to the firm. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina Honors College and her Juris Doctor from Emory University School of Law, where she received the Custer Tuggle Award for Excellence in Family Law. After clerking for Circuit Court Judge Reginald I. Lloyd, she practiced in the civil and criminal divisions of the South Carolina Office of the Attorney General before joining The Stanley Law Group. A Super Lawyers honoree since 2020 and a Rising Star from 2012 through 2019, Ms. Offord has also been named one of the National Bar Association's 40 Lawyers Under 40 and an Honoree of the South Carolina Leadership in Law Award. She concentrates her practice on wrongful death, automobile and trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability, and products liability claims, and currently serves as President of the South Carolina Black Lawyers' Association.
The Stanley Law Group, which has been representing clients in and around Columbia since 1990, now has two attorneys recognized among the very best in the state. The firm's attorneys bring more than 100 years of combined experience and have recovered over $50 million for accident victims and their families. The firm handles car accidents, truck and tractor trailer accidents, motorcycle accidents, and the full range of serious injury claims on a contingency fee basis.
This Super Lawyers recognition underscores the high level of legal expertise available at The Stanley Law Group, which can be a critical factor for business leaders and individuals seeking legal representation in personal injury matters. The selection of two attorneys from one firm highlights the depth of talent in South Carolina's legal community and may influence client decisions when choosing counsel for complex litigation.
