The Murdaugh family is an American legal family in the Lowcountry region of South Carolina. From 1920 to 2006, three members of the family consecutively served as district attorneys, in charge of prosecuting all criminal cases in the state’s 14th circuit district, leading locals to call the five-county district “Murdaugh Country”. The family also founded a nationally recognized civil litigation law firm in Hampton, South Carolina, which specializes in personal injury litigation.
