If you are looking for a dedicated, competent and knowledgeable lawyer your search stop here!

Mr.C. Austin Elliott was excellent to work with. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the law, competent, respectful, helpful and professional from our first meeting through the end of my case. Having such serious charges brought against you is a very difficult and devastating experience and, I am glad... Mr. Austin Elliott was there to answer every question and address my every concern, he was always quick in returning my e-mails and phone calls. HE HANDLED EVERY DETAIL OF MY CASE EXCELLENTLY AND NOW MY CASE IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DISMISSED. If you or anyone you love are looking for the best (competent) lawyer, hire Mr. Austin Elliott, I highly recommend him, I know he will be just as dedicated to your case as he was to mine.

Dominic will be back on 01/11/2014, he will be signing up for the Marines shortly after, when can he complete his final class? I also wanted to thank all of you for your courtesy and professionalism throughout all of this without you our son may not have been able to fulfill his dream of a career ...in the United States Marines. I don't think any other attorneys could have pulled off this amazing result. Thank you, Michael Armstrong, soon to be the proud Father of a US Marine.

Excellent Law Associate!

Austin was there for me throughout my legal challenges! He is proactive and detail oriented. He explained each step of the process and followed up with me as things moved along. Highest possible recommendation!

Great Lawyer and comforting in time of crisis

My son was in a single car accident due to falling asleep driving late one night. He has attention deficit disorder and meds were wearing off and he was sleepy and made a bad decision to drive. He was nearly killed and had head injury and was hospitalized. He had improper blood draw and was charge...d for DUI. He was also asked to sign consent for blood while still not competent to sign due to head injury. Courts are slow but eventually the case was dropped by the judge and records expunged. Mr. Elliott was great. He was kind and kept our spirits up. He was right on top of the case and kept us informed of the entire legal process. It was very traumatic to go through the accident, hospitalization, and the legal nightmare. We are very thankful we found him to help us and we highly recommend without reservation he and his firm.

I felt like I was his only client

I could not possibly say enough good things about my experience with Austin. He was a professional in every sense of the word. Because of the slow courts in Isle of Palms, it took nearly a year and a half for my case to finally be completed. During that period of time, Austin picked up (or quickly re...turned) every single one of my calls and never forgot who I was or what the status of my case was. It truly was as if I was his only client. He sent me regular updates on how my case was going and I could tell he was personally invested in being sure that I got treated the way he would treat family. I paid upfront for his services and I never had to pay a single dime thereafter. He saw it all the way to its close. That’s right: he worked with me for nearly a year and a half and I never got a second bill. I had shopped around for lawyers before hiring Austin, and his fare was very reasonable. He was always incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. Furthermore, I was incredibly happy with the ultimate outcome of my case. I don’t think that if I had hired another lawyer, he would have been able to deliver the same result. Don’t look any further for a quality lawyer. You can trust in Austin.
