Jordan Goewey, a small-town South Carolina native, came to Thomas, Fisher & Edwards shortly after obtaining his law degree and LL.M. in Taxation in 2019. He is licensed in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee, giving him the ability to assist a wide range of clients across the southeast. His practice areas include estate planning, probate and trust administration, business advising, and mergers and acquisitions, all with a focus on taxation. Jordan enjoys serving clients with high-level tax concerns along with all others who have complex situations or otherwise require the specialization of knowledge that TF&E has to offer. As a young attorney already making strides in his field, he strives to provide his clients with multigenerational legal care that not only resolves the concerns of today but also anticipates the needs of the future.

Jordan contributes to the Upstate legal community by way of membership in the Greenville Estate Planning Council, the Greenville Estate Planning Study Group, and the Greenville Bar Association. He has been honored by Greenville Business Magazine© in Legal Elite of the Upstate each year since 2022. He remains an active member of the Wofford community with his involvement in the Wofford Alumni Club of Greenville. Jordan and his wife, Marina, are members of Buncombe Street Methodist Church. They live in Greenville with their son, Henry, their Boston Terrier, Ace, and their French Bulldog, Bruce.
