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!

DV 2nd degree disaster

While I never thought in a million years that I would be arrested, I was. I was arrested for DV. It was certainly a horrible experience. Between the jail, dealing with the police, and finding out that the case would take months to resolve, I felt like everything I worked hard for was slipping way. ... Pros: Mr. Usry reassured me that everything would be okay, and I realized he tried to be careful about making promises he could not keep. He is very genuine and tries his best to make you feel as comfortable as you can be in a difficult situation. He always returned my calls. He kept me updated on my case, and he did not pass judgement. There were some hiccups along the way, but mostly it had to do with the solicitor. I was not myself for the first few months (I was a bit crazy dealing with finishing my education, raising my babies, and having a husband who bailed), and Mr. Usry was still professional when addressing me. He also gave me words of advice that I may not have wanted to hear at the time, but I needed to hear. Mr. Usry and his paralegal did a great job gathering information about me to try to get the best deal possible. Cons: It did put a dent in my pocket. It is important to do your own research, even if you are confident you have the best lawyer. Always ask questions. Your lawyer cannot read your mind and you cannot read his/hers. This would have saved me more time in general when it came to my case. Note: I could have taken my chances with a public defender or cheaper representation, however, I had a lot to lose and my case was complicated because my child was there during the incident. I needed someone who cared about the case.

Thank you- this is a highly informative review for anyone needing a criminal defense lawyer. I'm thankful our "pros" far outweighed your only "con"- that I'm not a cheap lawyer! My firm works hard to make you comfortable by keeping in touch, working hard to build your defense, and being honest- even if you don't want to hear it. That's what the attorney-client relationship is about, a relationship built on trust. All the best to you, and thank you again for this glimpse into your case.

Great Lawyer & Firm

My situation was an extreme case where I had 3 felony charges towards me. My family and I consulted multiple lawyers, but most were skeptical about my case. Mr. Usry and his staff welcomed us without judgment and trusted our side of the story. Throughout the entire process, Mr. Usry kept steady conta...ct with us and kept us updated on the case. We recently received the great news that the charges were dropped. We recommend Mr. Usry to anyone looking for an amazing lawyer!

Thank you. Few things are more gratifying than helping someone out of a bad jam and I'm thankful we achieved that for you! While results in one case don't guarantee the same result in another, I work at getting my people out of trouble. And everyone at my firm is committed to welcoming you without judgment and trusting you, because we value relationships built on trust. Thank you for pointing that out and for your kind words!

Great Attorney

Rob, was very helpful from the start with my case. He assured me that this was going to be a process, but if willing to put up a fight things will go in our favor. I trusted Rob with his word and we ultimately got my case dismissed through the Pre-Trial Intervention program. Thanks Rob for all that ...you have done and I recommend your services to anyone in need.

Thank you, Marlon! One of the hardest things for any suspect to accept is, their case takes time to resolve. That's why I try to move them as fast as I can. I'm thankful you got PTI- it's a fantastic way to not just get a charge behind you, but get it off your record. Take care!

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.
