Grateful and very appreciative

Let Robert know that I am thankful for everything that you did for me I was a big trouble back in 2015 and I was looking at 15 years and somehow Robert and his team got me a four year sentence which I did two years now that I'm back out in the free world I only have Robert to thank for that

Javier , I can't tell you the joy it brings me you're a free man! What a blessing for you to be out to enjoy the holidays, reunited with the ones you love. Thank you for your kind words, especially after a tough situation. In criminal cases, my primary goal is to win. When I can't, I work every bit as hard to minimize the consequences, by getting evidence to negotiate with prosecutors and prove to the judge he shouldn't "lock you up and throw away the key." I would've preferred you just got probation, but doing 2 years when you're facing 15 isn't so bad. Especially now it's behind you! Onward and upward Javier!

Pleasing outcome, better than I had expected.

I was arrested for a DUI charge (along with two minor violations), my first arrest of any type. Rob met with me, and told me a range of possible outcomes. He showed great familiarity with the Spartanburg County court system and DUI charges in general. He helped put my mind at ease about the process m...oving forward, and I had full confidence that he would represent me well. Rob had prepared me for the possibility that I might need to plead to a lesser charge. In fact, what happened is that the original charges were dropped, and I received a citation for a different charge. This meant that I would get no points on my license and no change to my insurance. I still had to pay a fine to the court, but it was worth it in light of having the DUI go away. Throughout the process, Rob was friendly, informative, and professional. I was completely pleased with his representing me, and I recommend him highly.

Thank you Andrew! While I can't guarantee outcomes, I put my experience to your use by letting you know a range of what to expect, which I've found just gives my folks peace of mind. And your case is an example why I never guarantee outcomes- I never dreamed we'd be able to negotiate the deal we got! I'm thankful hard work helped you so much.

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!

Great attorney

Rob is an excellent attorney my son was facing several charges and we didn't know what to do or who to contact we chose Rob after reading his reviews and it was an excellent choice he not only returned our calls in a timely manner but our case was closed with the best possible results we would defini...tely recommend Rob and are thankful we had him.

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.
