Got a DUI charge? Hire Rob!

I spoke to Rob after my DUI charge. I was full of anxiety after spending 5 days in jail. My initial charge was for a DUI with a high BAC and an open container. Rob immediately put me at ease, treated me like a client before I even hired him and set a course to move forward with a solid plan. ...Rob told me what I needed to do and what I needed to provide so that he could evaluate my case. He told me exactly what he thought he could get done and took away 90% of my anxiety and fear. The end result was a DUAC with the BAC dropped to the lowest level and the open container charge being dropped. Rob mitigated my risk, exposure and helped to get a greatly reduced fine with time served. Rob and his assistant Pam took all of my calls, returned calls and answered every email. I am truly grateful.

Thank you, Matt! Contrary to what most folks believe, a good lawyer can actually GIVE you peace of mind, which is priceless when you've got a legal problem. As you pointed out, things work best when attorneys and clients work hand-in-hand, and that's certainly what I aim for in every case. We achieved a good result because you helped us help you. Well done!

Did an Awesome job for me

After my arrest for DUI 1st offense, I arranged an appointment to discuss my case with Bob Usry. I immediately recognized his concern and I was impressed by his knowledge of the law in the DUI area of the law. He listened to the details of my case and accepted my case. Bob immediately set out investi...gating the specifics of my case to aid in the defense of my charges. Because of his vast experience and knowledge of the law, Bob was able to get my case reduced to a lesser charge and have my drivers license reinstated. I highly recommend Bob Usry to anyone with a traffic case that could end with a less that optimum outcome. I believe his experience and personal attention to details of the case in question could benefit anyone that needs the assistance of a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney

Thanks Eddy! Nice folks who get charged with crimes are often afraid they'll be looked down on, even by their lawyer. Not so with me! DUI is a complex case and the devil's in the details. I'm glad we were able to find the details to help you make a wise choice you felt good about, that achieved your goals for the case. That's our aim in every case. Again, thank you for your kind words.

DUI 2nd

I have actually hired Rob Usry not once, but twice! Our first issue related to a minor accident and a charge of Driving under the Influence of alcohol. Rob instructed me on the activities I could take to increase my chances for a better outcome. These activities along with his talent for working with... the law enforcement officer led to a greatly downgraded charge that was very acceptable to me given the situation. Unfortunately, I was once again charged later the same year. While there was no accident or even any incident that led to the traffic stop, a second appearance in the same court did not look promising. Mr. Usry was very honest and forthcoming about the possible outcomes to this new charge. I have to say, it was not looking very positive. However, we experienced a few delays due to the officers obligations and Rob was able to schedule a window of opportunity that worked very well for our case. Once again rob was able to work through the situation and speak on my behalf to negotiate the best possible outcome. I could not have experienced a better resolution to the case. I would strongly recommend Rob Usry to any and all potential clients. His fees are reasonable and his performance is phenomenal!

Thank you for your kind words! In criminal and DUI cases, I'm not afraid to employ what some would consider an unusual strategy- actually working with law enforcement- as long as it'll help my client. And I do guarantee to all my clients I'll always tell the truth- even if it's what they don't want to hear, because you need to know. I'm delighted we got this result for you, but you did one of the most important things to help me help you- you helped yourself! As far as scheduling goes, that was sorta lucky- but in my years as a lawyer, I've found sometimes the harder I work the luckier I get! Thank you again for sharing your story- I'm so grateful I could get it worked out for you!

Rob Usry helped me get my life back on track.

I had accumulated an extensive record over the course of 10 years following my divorce, due partly to immaturity and depression. My record included multiple DUIs, DUS, public drunk, open container and simple possession. My last DUI in 2007 resulted in my incarceration for over a year. I decided to ch...ange my life and I've been clean and sober ever since (almost 9 years now.) To get my life back to normal, I needed to get my driver's license back. My attorney Rob Usry was able to accomplish this for me. Rob advised me on my outward appearance- I removed my jewelry and cut my hair. He helped me gather my witnesses to my sobriety and helped them form their affidavits. He gathered all pertinent documents and helped me tie up any loose ends. He took the time to get to know me personally, then took all of this information to build an impressive, overwhelmingly favorable argument to present to the SC Board of Pardon, Probation and Parole, which resulted in a pardon of ALL of my SC record. Subsequently, the Department of Public Safety cleared my record and allowed me to get my license back. Now I am able to get myself back and forth to work, go shopping, see my friends, and most importantly, visit my family in Georgia. I have my freedom back, and it feels like flying. Rob Usry is my hero! Rob is a family man, active in his church, a good listener and a straight shooter. I would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone who needs help with our legal system so they can get their life back on track.

Amazing, understand, and caring lawyer

A lot of people say that lawyers are just thieves. But I never felt that way while working with Rob Usry. He was always on time, he worked hard, and he always had a plan. The whole experience with his office made a bad situation a little bit easier. I was dealing with a lot in the time of the DUI and... I was on medication, sleeping medication, working with doctors. And the reason that my DUI was dropped was because Usry took time to understand what was going on. Because of this I talked to my therpsy and he wrote a letter to the court. The doctor said that with my OCD, there i was takimg the pills over and over again. Because the pill causes medical induced amnesia. Because I was worried i forgot to tale medication I continues to take the pills. Then I blacked out. This was a hard case. But usry believed everything and helpedme so mich. He knows what he is doing and will work you. Helped my parents with payments. He is a genuine guy. God forbet, but if I ever need a lawyer again I will me calling him right back.
