Frank L. Eppes

PARTNER

Frank Eppes was born in Greenville, SC on November 10, 1960. He is a third-generation lawyer, following his grandfather, a gentleman farmer and trial attorney, and his late father, a much beloved state Circuit Court Judge and a 1986 Democratic candidate for Governor. At 6-feet 10-inches tall, Frank is hard to miss in a crowd and had the highest career field-goal percentage in the history of the Washington & Lee University Basketball Team. While he doesn’t run the floor the way he used to, he still makes more shots than he misses, at least to hear him tell it. He also possesses an extensive array of collectibles purchased from some of the finest flea markets and yard sales in the area.
