Charleston Open Container

I earned myself an open container citation in the summer of 2016 and was a bit concerned I wouldn't be able to get it dismissed and/or expunged because I am old enough to know better (I am in my mid thirties). After speaking to a few local attorneys I went with Austin because he was understanding of ...the situation, sympathetic, had a great grasp of the law and process, and was able to explain how the process would unfold, step by step. Austin handled everything from start to finish, got my open container dismissed, and then successfully handled the expungement. The whole process took less than 6 months, and only that long because of the intervening holiday season. I would definitely recommend Austin to anyone who runs into open container/alcohol related issues in the Charleston area.

Communicative, Knowledgable, Impressive

I was referred to Mr. Elliot by a friend (who he had also helped) in the Spring of 2016. From start to finish, Mr. Elliot handled my case with class and professionalism. I received a public urination ticket from the CPD. His knowledge and experience regarding applicable case law got my case dismi...ssed. He was patient with my questions and his confidence in his skill reassured throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Mr. Elliot as an outstanding attorney.

Highly Recommended

I was charged with a DUI and immediately researched for the best attorney in the area. Came across Mr. Elliott and Mr. Kulp who had outstanding reviews and called right away. Mr. Elliott, a true professional who was extremely knowledgable, went above and beyond to assist with my case. With their c...ollective experience, the outcome was great and I would recommend Austin to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Excellent Attorney

I was charged with a criminal offense and was referred to Mr. Elliot. I have always been extremely skeptical of attorneys who make false promises. Mr. Elliot is not one of those attorneys. He is a man of his word and his representation exceeded my expectations. He is an excellent communicator and exp...lained everything to me thoroughly. He is reliable and I was confident in his ability to provide adequate representation. Most importantly he achieved the optimal result in my case. I highly recommend him.

Helpful and Hardworking

Mr. Elliot came to my aide right from the beginning. He got to know me as a person and began to get to work right away. He was able to answer all my question with ease, and point me in the right direction immediately in order to receive a good outcome with my case. I was more than happy with the resu...lts but even more pleased with how Mr. Elliot conducted himself throughout this whole process. I never felt abandoned and Mr. Elliot assisted in easing my stress. Mr. Elliot will be my recommendation to anyone who seeks legal assistance in Charleston. This is a lawyer who will go a long way and make a well known name for himself in Charleston.
