This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Bill Fortino is one of the top lawyers in South Carolina.

Bill was referred to me as my attorney in my divorce from another attorney friend. Bill handled my case professionally and exceeded my expectations. Bill clearly laid out an excellent plan in the beginning with a very specific outcome, and kept me very well informed and updated along the way. As a re...sult, Bill achieved that plan which was in my favor. I highly recommend Bill Fortino.

Former client pleased as punch

Bill was integral in me getting full custody of my son after I had only had every other weekend visits before. I can't express how well he did his job while also showing how much he cares as a person. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Don't look any further

Left a review when things were "finalized", but can not speak enough praise for Bill and his team! Bill has continued to help with my case long after everything was said and done. He answers questions quickly and has a level head on his shoulders (something anyone going through this type of situa...tion needs). He has great morals and integrity but most of all, he know his stuff!!!!

Professional and made the best interest of our child priority.

Bill made it very clear he wanted what was best for our son. In no way was this easy and much work was put forward. Covid did not help the situation at all. I am a father in California and our sons mother lives in South Carolina. Bill diligently worked on my case and the outcome was everything we... worked hard towards. Kudos to Bill for his caring nature towards our son and his hard work in this very complicated case.

Best Family Lawyer in South Carolina!

Bill Fortino has been my lawyer for 5 years now and has continuously been amazing, no matter what issue arises or when, he always makes himself available and provides sound legal advice. As a defendant being taken to court in 2016/2017 over a child custody issue (which we won), to years later as a pl...aintiff going through mediation in 2021 (which we resolved, avoiding court), he continued to work extremely hard for me being involved and was always one step ahead. He even saved me money! I have always felt reassured and he always gave me honest answers and advice. He is very personable and knowledgeable and truly cares about his clients and their situation. I will continue to use him and recommend him to anyone going through family court/custody issues. He has been the most amazing lawyer and works extremely hard for you to resolve issues without causing unnecessary stress!
