Honest, Straightforward Attorney

Robert Reeves responded to my inquiry in a very timely manner, gave me solid explanations and advise. No charge. If I ever need an attorney in South Carolina, he will absolutely be my first choice. In addition to his legal acumen he is forthright, pleasant, and has a great sense of humor.

Generous and Courteous Attorney

I recently had a conversation with Attorney Mills. I found him to be generous with his time and knowledge. I would certainly recommend him for his skills.

Expert advice

Mr. Reeves is a lifesaver! He went out of his way to direct me on how to get out of a petty ticket free of charge. He offered to take the case for a small fee or give me the steps to handle it myself. I took him up on his offer and everything went exactly as he stated. Give this man a call if you n...eed representation, or just advice.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Honest and professional, best option for your case.

About three years ago I was pulled over for speeding and charged with a first-time offence 0.08 DWI in a small town about 45 minutes from Charlotte, NC. At the time I was a Florida resident and was temporarily in North Carolina for a work project. Having an out of state license only meant more compli...cations to an already delicate subject, so I immediately began looking for the top-rated lawyers in the area. I scheduled meetings with six different law firms and set aside an entire day to interview them, get their opinion on my case, and ultimately decide which would be the best approach forward. I ended up choosing Robert to represent me due to two main reasons which set him apart from the rest: First, my arrest took place over Labor Day weekend which meant that I would have to wait a couple of days until being able to meet lawyers, so I decided to leave voicemails during the holiday so I could fast-track my appointments the next day. When calling Robert’s listed number, it turned out to be his private cell phone, which he answered even on holiday nonetheless. Not only did he answer my call during off hours, he heard my case and provided comfort in my situation at a time when I needed it most. Good client communication is one of the main attributes I looked for when choosing my lawyer, and Robert went above and beyond in providing answers to all of my questions at a personal level of communication, which was kept throughout the entirety of my case (over three years). Secondly, when I first met with Robert, we went through my case and he gave me his honest opinion on the most appropriate course of action. Then, he went ahead and told me a bit about his background, he’s past cases and strategies he would use at trial, but what really sold me on him was the advice that he gave me before leaving his office. He said that “regardless of which lawyer I decided to go with, to always make sure that I get the lawyer that I am paying for”. This is due to the fact that big law firms would take my case and would later hand it off to one of their multiple lawyers, which means I would have no control or knowledge of who is actually representing me, which defeats the purpose of doing my research in finding the best lawyer for my case. I found Robert’s advice to be the most honest and helpful out of all the lawyers I interviewed, something which I actually experienced first-hand in one of the meetings with another firm later that day when I asked the name of the lawyer that would get my case and was not provided with a concrete answer. \ Every case is different, and in my situation, Robert suggested to take it all the way to superior court to a jury trial since according to his experience, my case had plenty of evidence in my favor and had a real shot at winning. I followed Robert’s advice and went to trial, in which Robert did an excellent job in addressing the jury and presenting evidence in my defense. The jury could not come to a decision and was pretty evenly split on a guilty/not guilty verdict which ended in a mistrial. However, thanks to Robert, everything worked out in my favor since his negotiation with the DA led to the dismissal of my DWI charge, and Robert also prevented my license from being suspended due to the speeding infraction. All in all, Robert Reeves is an absolutely outstanding, experienced trial lawyer. With Robert you definitely get what you pay for, and since all cases are different, even if such great results as mine might not be an option, hiring Robert Reeves will definitely ensure the best possible outcome for your case.

Brianna McCarthy

Called Mr. Reeves about my first speeding ticket and gave me great advice and was patient with my many questions and nervousness. Assured me that I didn’t need a lawyer for my case and gave me the run down on how to take points off my drivers license so my insurance wouldn’t go up. Clear, concise, an...d sympathetic. Would my first on my list for help with any legal issues!
