Rob is an excellent lawyer and an even better person!

Rob was suggested to me by a friend who said he was great. So I set up a consultation with him and he spoke very plainly about my case and what he believed he could do for me. Of course there are no guarantees on how the out come will be, but Rob assured me that he was very hopeful which was reassuri...ng and made me feel at ease. He communicated with me whenever there was something he wanted me to do that would help my case, as well as talk me through everything I wasn't sure about or had questions about along the way. With his guidance I had a great outcome with my situation and I would have no reservations at all about referring Rob Usry to anyone who needs a lawyer.

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.

Ekman Review

July 18th, 2016 is a day my family will never forget. We lost our Mom and oldest sister that day in a horrible auto accident at the fault of another driver. Overcome with grief, we knew we needed to seek legal help. None of us had a lot of experience with attorneys, but a friend highly recommended th...e Holland and Usry law firm to us. Rob Usry was assigned our case. From the moment we first meet Rob to the closing settlement, Rob and his assistant Camilla were amazing. Since we live in SC but the accident happened in NC, Rob brought on an attorney from NC as well to assist with the NC laws. They were with us every step of the way. When your're grieving, it's nice to know you have a great group of people there to walk with you. We live about an hour away from the law firm but Rob made if easy for us by handling everything via phone, email or mail. When the final settlement date was scheduled right after I was scheduled to start a new job, Rob and Camilla worked hard to get the date moved up to a date prior to my new job starting. The firm always went the extra mile for us. Our family is still dealing with the loss but we couldn't have made it through this difficult time without Rob and his staff. If you are in need of a great attorney, I highly recommend Rob and his staff.

Thank you, Dinah, for letting me help your tremendous family. It's a privilege to lift up good folks and help their cause. Handling your grief plus a legal case over what caused it, is just too much for people to bear. To use your words, you've got a long, hard walk, but everyone here's been honored to go the extra mile for you and make it easy.

Answer to prayer

My car was totaled in a rear end collision by a distracted driver. His company's claims office was stalling and stalling. Rob took over every hearing, filing, and deposition. It was such a relief to turn everything to him. We knew everything that was going on throughout the case reaching a settlemen...t in our favor. He was definitely an answer to prayer.

Highly Recommend

Rob Usry was such a blessing. Needing an attorney can be very scary, but Rob was very reassuring and helped me tremendously. He handled everything and made me feel complete at ease and truly appreciated. He even called after hours to check on me and keep me updated. I used a rating service to fin...d him and he met all the expectations! Great Guy!
