Meet Attorney at Law: Spiro Poulos

Spiro grew up in Chester, South Carolina. After graduating from Chester High School, he went to The ​University of South Carolina, where he double majored in Finance and Marketing with a minor in ​Criminal Justice. Spiro then enrolled at The Charleston School of Law and was a member of the ​inaugural graduating class. He then returned to the upstate and began his legal career as a prosecutor ​with the 6th Judicial Circuit in Lancaster County, under Solicitor Doug Barfield. There, he was the chief ​DUI prosecutor for three years, for the entire circuit, where he handled several hundreds of DUI cases ​in Lancaster, Chester and Fairfield counties.

In late 2013, Spiro decided it was time to return to his hometown of Chester and fulfill his dream of ​practicing law in a town where he grew up and where he had deep ties to the area. Being able to ​launch a location where he is able to help the people of the town he grew up in, has been one of ​Spiro’s proudest accomplishments. In January 2014, Spiro founded The Poulos Law Firm. In early ​2024, Spiro decided to rename his law firm and move to a more convenient location, with a much ​closer proximity to the courthouse, and has been a law office since the 1970’s, when it was built. In ​August of 2024, Spiro closed The Poulos Law Firm which was located on Columbia Street, and ​opened Spiro Poulos Law in the new office location, 109 McAliley Street, right in the heart of ​downtown Chester.

Since opening the doors over 10 years ago, Spiro has worked on hundreds of cases including DUI ​Defense, Criminal Defense, Personal Injury/wreck cases, Civil Litigation, Family Law, Land Transfers, ​Estate Planning, and Probate. Spiro has been highly successful in his DUI and Criminal defense as well ​as Family Law and Personal Injury cases, representing many different clients with excellent results in ​Chester, Lancaster, Fairfield, York, Kershaw, Chesterfield, Union, Spartanburg, Cherokee, Greenwood, ​Richland and Lexington counties.

Spiro believes that the practice of law is about relationships. When an attorney is emotionally ​invested in the people he is representing, he will work even harder on their cases, while zealously ​advocating on their behalf. The people he represents are his people, the people of Chester and ​surrounding areas. Those are relationships that cannot be made overnight, but are made with a life-​time commitment.
