Best lawyer in town
My situation was not an easy one. I was looking at a 2nd or possible 3rd dui due to some factors. Long story short I was looking at probable jail time which is very scary. Mr. Sutton gave advice to get some help which I did on my own over 8 weeks and that along with his excellent skills got it knocked down to a wreckless and also won my dmv hearing getting my license back next week. If you are looking for a lawyer do not go anywhere else but to this man. He will help and take the stress out of your difficult situation. Thanks so much I Mr. Sutton talk soon.

Thank You Mr. Sutton
If you want the BEST lawyer in the Myrtle Beach area working on your case, hire Bob Sutton! Bob is one of the hardest working, professional lawyers in the area that cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to protect them. He always stayed in close contact with me thru out my case.
I was arrested and charged with a .24 DUI 2nd offense. I was facing jail time, substantial fines, and a long license suspension. My situation was hopeless. Bob does not believe in hopeless. He worked very hard on my behalf and got my DUI charge dismissed and charge reduced to a traffic offense of Reckless Driving in a lower court. No suspension, no SR-22, no Ignition interlock, and NO JAIL TIME!
If you ever need a Top Notch Attorney, I highly recommend Bob Sutton to represent you. Let him put his Knowledge and Experience to work for you!
Thank you so much Mr. Sutton for what you have done for me and thank you for your service to our country!

The Best DUI Lawyer
Mr. Bob Sutton has been absolutely amazing through this entire situation. I am a person who has never been in trouble with the law, so being taken to jail after a car accident was very traumatizing for me. The moment I consulted with Mr. Sutton I knew I wanted him to be my lawyer. He assured me that everything was going to be okay and that he will handle everything. He did just that. My DUI was thrown out completely. I have nothing to say but amazing things about Mr. Sutton. I highly recommend Mr. Sutton to anyone who is in need of a DUI lawyer. You won't regret it!

An attorney with the most sincere care for his clients.
I came to Attorney Sutton with a tough case that needed his specific expertise. This was a very devastatingly emotional time in my life. What really caught me by surprise with Mr. Sutton was FIRST his calm, caring, and genuine concern for my daughter and I. THEN, his confidence and professionalism as an attorney. It made the process easier knowing that he REALLY cared about me.
He lead me through the legal process with ease and encouraged me to “hang in there”, he informed me every step of the way, and always responded back quickly whenever I would reach out to him. I couldn’t have gotten a better attorney- because they don’t get any better than Mr. Sutton.

The only lawyer I'd confidently recommend
Mr. Robert Sutton was understanding, patient, & professional throughout the entire process. He explained every step in a way I could easily understand & kept me informed of every update. He was extremely knowledgeable about the laws & extra complexities that accompany being disabled, which I not only greatly appreciated on a personal level, but was a necessary asset to have in order for a lawyer to properly address my case.
He resolved my case, going above & beyond my expectations. He also took the time to discuss my circumstances, giving excellent advice moving forward. I don't believe anyone else could've garnered the same satisfactory results. The positive outcome is all due to Mr. Sutton's hard work & dedication to what he does.
Obviously it is very important to have a good lawyer... Mr. Sutton is not just a good lawyer, but a great one.

Thank you very much! When I first met with you and heard the facts of your case I was determined that you would not be convicted as a result of this ill founded arrest. I do not believe that taking medication prescribed by your treating physician for a chronic illness makes you a drunk driver, especially in view of your excellent driving record. DUI medication cases are very complex and should only be handled by those who focus on DUI defense and have experience in these kinds of casdes. Good things come to those who are prepared to go to trial on their client's behalf. I am happy that this stressful situation is now behind you. All the best!

DUI case
Bob was able to get my DUI charge reduced to wreckless deiving. I talked with Bob on the phone before hiring him and he explained the entire process to me and broke it down into terms I could understand since this was my first time getting into any kind of real trouble. He stayed in touch by phone through this process and gave very clear directions to make things go smoothly in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend him. Thanks again Bob!
