Keep seeking

Useless! He looked down upon me from the minute I met with him. Needless to say I did not hire him. Good luck

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Lawyer

Dean was put in charge of my case while he was working with Greg McCulloms Complete Legal Defense Team. From day one I knew I was in good hands! He kept me up to date on everything that was happening and made me feel comfortable while I was going through a tough time in my life. I was extremely satis...fied with the outcome of my case! I highly recommend Dean Mureddu!

Miracle worker

Dean is a fantastic attorney! My fiance was in a minor fender bender after a benefit and was intoxicated. Even though he was 3 times the legal limit on the breathalyzer, Dean was able to get the case dismissed. No adsap; no sr-22, no headaches. His knowledge and ability to have gotten this r...esult still astounds me. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family.

simple possession of marijuana

I was charged with simple possession and after seeking advice from several attorneys I have to say Mr. Mureddu gave me the best advise and charges were reduced to Conditional Discharge. What a knowledgeable attorney! No waiting when called him. My trust is with Dean and recommend him highly.

traffic ticket

I came to Dean with a traffic ticket that I thought was unfair. Dean handled my case and ultimately got the charge dismissed. I was very happy with his service and the outcome of my case.

From when he began his career in 1994 with the Public Defenders Office, he has zealously and passionately defended his clients in court and in trial. Since he left the Public Defenders office in 1994, he has been a member of a prominent Criminal Defense and Personal Injury Law Firm here in Myrtle Beach. Dean has the trial skills, talent and experience to defend every type of criminal case. He has tried numerous murder cases and probably every other type of felony case. He is also a highly regarded DUI Defense Attorney. We are very proud to have him bring his wealth of trial experience to our firm and to now concentrate his practice on DUI Defense."

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.
