Attorney at Law


Austin Grabowski

Austin enjoys working with clients of all types to help efficiently solve problems and/or grow their brand. Austin is also interested in emerging industries that require a full service and business minded attorney.

Austin was born in and grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina attending North Mecklenburg High School. Austin is proud to call himself a Gamecock, graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of South Carolina. He then attended Campbell University School of Law, where he held numerous leadership and pro bono positions.

After graduating from Campbell Law, Austin clerked with Superior Court Judge Eric Levinson gaining legal research, drafting acumen  and courtroom experience.

Austin took this experience to a national law firm’s secured transactions department. Although he enjoyed all the benefits of a large firm, Austin wanted a hands-on experience with his clients.

Austin worked briefly in a boutique law firm before deciding that he wanted to blend the worlds of large firm experience with small firm creative approaches.

Austin is married to his high school sweetheart, and is passionate about the outdoors. He stays dedicated to outdoor activities including skydiving, skiing, and mountain biking. Austin also has a desire to give back to the community and maintains a consistent pro bono practice. It is his goal to meet the requirements to be accepted into the North Carolina Pro Bono Honor Society several times throughout his career.
