Absolute Best Choice for a lawyer in Charleston!
The best law firm in Mount Pleasant, hands down! I currently had an experience of needing Dale Savage's service. From the first phone call, to the first meeting and every step along the way, Dale was connected, wise, engaged, kind, warm, and always there. He knows his stuff and he's personable and likeable, and best of all he has a wonderful quality that makes you and your case feel important to him. Dale took the time with me from beginning to end. In the scary, intimidating and overwhelming process of a DUI, he was non judgemental, patient, knew his stuff and helped to council me with wisdom and patience. Honestly, I don't know what I would have done without him. I am deeply grateful for him and so glad that I found him in a time that I needed a lawyer the most. Walking me step by step through the process, always returning my phone calls promptly and was there every time I needed him through this process. I recommend him highly and if anyone needs a lawyer in the Charleston area, honestly, Dale should be your first and last call. In the midst of a sea of choices for lawyers in the area, he is a diamond in the rough. He will meet & exceed your expectations. Words cannot express how much I appreciate having him in my corner and feel lucky to had found him at just the perfect time.

Satisfied and Impressed
Dale is by far the best lawyer I've ever retained. He stayed in constant communication and for a client that's important because we always want to know whats going on. When it came to the court room Dale showed he is passionate not only about his clients best interest but as well as his craft. I would not hesitate to hire Dale again or recommend him to anyone in search of a great attorney!
