I Highly Recommend Michael O'Sullivan as Your Next Attorney!

I hired Michael O'Sullivan after receiving a letter in the mail from him when I was arrested for refusing a field sobriety test and breathalyzer after a small, at-fault, fender bender at a red light. As a result, I was charged with Refusal and DUI. His attorney fees are much cheaper than any other in... the area and he was very informative as to every step I needed to take in a timely manner to get my license back quickly with zero hassle. I never had to attend a single court date, and even though it was almost a year later, he got the refusal charge dropped and the DUI charge reduced to a reckless driving charge with a $440 fine. I am so glad he sent me his letter, or I may have ended up with a very expensive "corporate" attorney who probably wouldn't have even known my name. His communication was excellent, and he always answered my questions quickly. Thank You! I highly recommend Michael O'Sullivan! A+++

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.

Great Attorney

I hired Mr. O'Sullivan to handle a reckless driving ticket for my daughter that could have resulted in 6 points on her license! Mr. O'Sullivan was knowledgeable, quick to respond and reasonable. Although he made no guaranty he was confident that he could get her into a program that would eventually... result in no points! He did! Job well done. I would recommend him without hesitation. Thanks so much Mr. Sullivan for all our help and a great job

My recommendation

I feel Mr.Michael O`Sullivan was a well prepared knowledgeable lawyer. He didn't rush through my case. With that said he did make sure the case was closed in a timely manner. He took his time and made sure to be attentive during the process.
