Charles Buist

Charles Buist

Distinguished Lawyer

Personal Injury Law

225 E Robinson St suite 542, Orlando, FL 32801, USA

Area of Practice: Wrongful Death Law Charles is a native of South Carolina. Charles’ father, Dr. Buist, is a dentist, and he raised Charles alone. Therefore, Charles spent a lot of time in a dentist office while he was growing up, and he started working as a dental assistant at an early age. Charles saw many horrific cases where patients would come to Dr. Buist after being injured by another dentist. He witnessed many patients who were harmed by careless or reckless dentists. As a result, Charles became very passionate about dental malpractice and protecting dental patients. Charles went to the College of Charleston for his undergraduate degree, and he comes from a long line of Charleston, South Carolina attorneys. In fact, the Buist family started one of the oldest law firms in Charleston in the 1800s. The firm was called Buist & Buist, but it later changed names in the 1970s after merging with another law firm and eventually became Buist, Moore, Smythe & McGee. Although Charles considered moving back to Charleston many times, he and his wife ultimately fell in love with Orlando, Florida. After law school, Charles visited his law school roommate, Nick Spetsas, in Orlando for a New Years' weekend and absolutely fell in love with the area. The parks, the people, the beauty, and the year-round sunshine make Orlando the perfect location for Charles and his family, and they are proud to call Orlando their home.
