Awesome attorney!!

Mr. Mussetto represented me in a divorce case. He was very polite and thorough with my case. I appreciate everything he and his team did for me and I would reccomend him to anyone!!

DUI & Marijuana Dismissal

Very professional, very prompt, and absolutely exceeded my expectations in terms of trial. Would recommend this law firm to absolutely anyone in need of they’re services. Had a pending DUI and simple possession charge and he managed to get both of them dismissed. Again, super content.

The Absolute Best Attorney!

Attorney Mussetto handled a criminal case for me in the past, which was settled in my favor. I used his services for a Family Court case and he won that case me as well. I had a bad case that was mishandled by someone else before but he represented me this time and we won the case and received what I... asked for plus a little more. He and his staff are the best.

Great, Great attorney

John solved a situation that was created by another attorney concerning my divorce. I fired my first attorney and hired John. I am happy to say that he has represented me well. I was able to obtain visitation rights with my children after 3 YEARS of waiting on the courts to move. I wish him the ...best in his future endeavors and I send this message to his future clients that you will be obtaining some of the best legal representation in the South Carolina Upstate area. Thank you, John.

A genuine five star attorney

John Mussetto is an extraordinarily talented and compassionate lawyer who works hard for his clients. He did so for my daughter. My wife and I hired John to defend our daughter in family court. He’s a skilled negotiator and counselor who took a sincere interest in her and the case. He was available, ...courteous, professional, and always gave her wise advice. Shortly before the case was scheduled for trial, John reached a settlement for her, one that will serve her well and pave the way for her to move on with life. We couldn’t have hired a better attorney—John’s a real five star!

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.
