Very pleased with his service.

He was always available to talk about my case. He got 4 charges dismissed from my record. Would definitely recommend him.

Amazing attorney!

Mr. O’Sullivan was recommended to me by a friend which he helped her out with a DUI case that was successful. I was extremely happy with his fees , he is very reasonable, easy to talk to, professional and knowledgeable in so many ways. He kept me informed every step of the way. Unfortunately I got t...o back to back DUI charges in Myrtle Beach and North myrtle beach. I was able to obtain a drivers license that I could drive at any time in the state of South Carolina, I NEVER went to court. Mr. O’Sullivan was able to have both charges dismissed which was absolutely amazing considering in both situations my behavior was unacceptable to the arresting officers. Absolutely by far the best DUI attorney in this area! I highly recommend Mr. O’Sullivan as an attorney. Again I thank you Mr. O’Sullivan you did an amazing job.

Traffic ticket

Michael was great! I got a ticket going down to the beach and he was able to help me out A LOT! He communicated effectively and was very friendly! Not to mention his rates were incredible. You will not go wrong with choosing his business.

Needed Help

I was at first extremely scared and found Mr. O'Sullivan online. He contacted me immediately. I refused the breath test and blood test, surrendering my license. He explained my options very well. I previously had nothing on my record. He was able to get the suspension and open container charge thrown... out, and I was accepted into PTI. He told me from the start he would not over promise and under deliver. He kept in contact with me and answered my numerous questions. I hope to never be in need of his services ever again, but if I do I wouldn't hesitate to return to him. Very reasonable on his fee and I will recommend him to anyone!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
