i am shocked and COMPLETELY grateful!!

I recently had a case that Attorney Dustin Sullivan has taken care of! It was a nightmare for me. I had very little hope of winning the case, all odds were against me. But Dustin Sullivan saw a way and asked me to trust him. With his calm and reasonable approach to my case, he surprised me with an ex...cellent outcome!! Personally, I reccommend him highly to anyone who is looking for a good Attorney. -Simone

Grateful!!

Dustin Sullivan has been a great help during my DUI charge. It was my first time going through something like this. He was patient with me. Answering all my questions. He kept me very informed and up to date. I am very happy with his work. Thankful for the outcome of my case. I couldn't have done it... without him. Thank you again!!!

Excellent!

Mr. Dustin Sullivan represented me for an alleged DUI in Brunswick County, NC. He argued a motion that the stop was illegal. Mr. Sullivan won the motion and my DUI was dismissed. Mr. Sullivan did an amazing job. He was prepared, knowledgeable, well spoken, and looked professional. He had good rel...ationships with the officers, district attorneys and the judges. I trusted in his advice and judgment. He kept me informed on just what I need to know. I was very satisfied with his work.

Best Lawyer by far in North Carolina

Mr. Sullivan represented me on the worst criminal case of my life and got every charge dismissed. The charges against me were DUI, a felony gun charge, concealed weapon, and 2 counts of drug possession. Other lawyers in the area told me I was most likely looking at jail time, Mr. Sullivan told me I d...idn’t need to even start worrying until he told me to and that time never came. I was charged with all of this in a county I lived 3.5 hours away from and after only 5 quick trips this case was completely dismissed in less than 7 months. I would recommend his services at any cost and can confidently say he was hands down the best attorney who has ever represented me!!!!

All the qualities you're looking for in a good attorney.

Last year I was charged with a DUI as a result of testing at a 0.08 BAC during a road block operation. I was certain I had at least a chance of winning the case due to several issues that occurred during the incident, namely with the intoxilyzer malfunctioning and testing at such a low BAC. Being a ...pretty practical gal, I wouldn't have hired anyone if I thought it was open and shut, if I had a high BAC or the intoxilyzer hadn't shut down during my encounter with it. I decided it was worth the cost to hire an attorney because of the issues with my case. Dustin came to my attention through a recommendation by a former Wilmington PD officer. After looking through some reviews and phone consultations with other attorneys (some less and others much more expensive) I went in for a consultation and was confident in his competence and ability to represent me well. Dustin kept me well informed on the status of my case throughout the process. He was always available by cell for questions and returned calls promptly, even after hours. During the week of my trial he informed me that he and his wife were expecting their first child and that he may have to have one of his partners handle my case. This was extremely unsettling, as I had put confidence in Dustin but had never spoken with his partner; however this situation was ultimately out of anyone's control. His partner ended up handling my case that day and I was disappointed with the outcome. Dustin called me after speaking with his partner and expressed his regret and offered to waive the $4000+ fee to take the case to a jury trial. After a few days of consideration I decided to take the offer, which would mean my flying back to NC from OR in five months for a second shot. In handling my jury trial Dustin maintained the same level of service as earlier. During the jury trial there was a point at which we both felt we had it in the bag and Dustin turned to me and said he didn't think I needed to testify. I was hesitant but I felt confident in my ability to represent myself on the stand (no prior convictions, well dressed, respectful, etc.) so I told him I wanted to go ahead with it. After being found not guilty Dustin spoke with the jurors and at least one had said that my testimony was what had sealed the deal in my favor. In the courtroom Dustin had a strong but respectful presence and a good repertoire with the DAs that handled my trial as well as other court staff. If you think you have an issue with your criminal case, take a consultation with Dustin. If he says he thinks you've got a shot at winning your case, you probably do. Hire Dustin. He went above and beyond in a less than desirable circumstance when he was by no means required to. If you feel like your testimony will aide in a more favorable outcome and he thinks you're well suited to provide one, do it. Especially in a jury trial. He'll guide you well in the process.
