Attorney Information
Overview
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, until recently, had the highest career field-goal percentage in the history of the Washington & Lee University Men’s Basketball Team. While he doesn’t run the floor as 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 area’s finest flea markets and yard sales. Frank recently received the highest honor given to a Greenville Lawyer when he was presented with the Tommy Thomason Award by the Greenville Bar.
