Kathleen E. Stringer is an associate attorney at Brinkley Law Firm, LLC in Charleston, South Carolina. She focuses on family law and fertility law, representing clients in divorce, military divorce, child custody and visitation, child support, alimony, adoption, and assisted reproduction matters. Her work involves legal issues that affect family structure, parental rights, financial arrangements, and family formation, with a client-centered approach to major personal transitions.

Stringer earned a J.D. from the University of South Carolina School of Law, where she participated in a clinic supporting survivors of domestic violence. She received a bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in Writing Pedagogy from Clemson University. Her legal education, writing background, and clinic experience support careful communication, legal analysis, and advocacy in family-law matters where factual details and personal circumstances can shape case strategy.

Stringer previously served as a law clerk to the Ninth Circuit Family Court of South Carolina. During the two-year clerkship, she worked closely with family court judges on divorce, custody, and family-building matters. That role gave her direct exposure to family court procedure and the legal and emotional issues faced by litigants. She now applies that perspective when guiding clients through contested matters, negotiated solutions, adoptions, and assisted reproduction planning.

Kathleen E. Stringer is a member of the South Carolina Family Law American Inn of Court, the South Carolina State Bar, and the Charleston County Bar Association. Her practice combines family court experience with an interest in the developing legal issues surrounding family formation and reproductive rights. She helps individuals and families address disputes and planning decisions with attention to legal detail, client goals, and the practical demands of the family court process.
