Excellent Attorney

Austin McDaniel will go above and beyond to make sure his clients get the justice they deserve. I was once charged with DUS, DUI, and Uninsured and thanks to Attorney McDaniel's help all 3 cases were dismissed and he advised me on how to get my licenses back. If you need a Lawyer in Anderson SC I hig...hly recommend this guy.

Austin McDaniel

Austin helped my family out. We are so thankful for him and office. I was wrongfully arrested and assaulted amongst other things. The police put 6 bs charges on me. I just knew id end up in prison even though i was innocent. Because of Austin things went my way better then expected. All charges dropp...ed and they were all felonies. I recommend him if your in a ruff spot.

Dui

Highly recommend Austin was able to get my DUI charge reduced to a speeding ticket. He knows what he's doing and can count on him handling your case personally. Also will work with you even when paying is difficult. A very down to earth lawyer......Thanks

Dui dismissed completely

Austin was very thorough and knowledgeable about the law and what the possibilities of happening were. He gave me a great price and even a military discount. He made sure he stayed on top of my case and called me whenever anything new developed. All in all my case was dismissed within 6 months!

DUI DISMISSED

Austin was an excellent attorney who kept me updated on everything surrounding my DUI charge. He didn't sugar coat anything. Also, because of his years of experience, he knows most of the LEOs in the area, which was beneficial. I followed his sound advice and the charges were dismissed! Hopefully I'l...l never have another situation like that again, but if I do, I got his number on speed dial...

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.
