Addison Fender is an outstanding lawyer. He handled my divorce. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer. He is knowledgable, professional, and caring. I'll use him for any other legal needs I may have in the future. His office staff is also top-notch. I was extremely satisfied with his legal service.
Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a lawyer, and doesn't want to deal empty promises
Addison represented me in the same custody matter on two different occasions. The custody of my oldest was settled outside of court. Addison helped me to get the best terms possible. He is very straight forward and honest with you, he will tell you if he can or can't help. He does not make empty promises like other lawyers I have had in the past. I would highly recommend Addison Fender to anyone looking for a Lawyer.

Best divorce attorney in Beaufort
Addison and his paralegal, Tracy, made my divorce easy. They always communicated and got back promptly. Addison was great in court and let me know what to expect and also explained things clearly. Very friendly. Recommend!

Outer state child custody issue
I moved to South Carolina from California with an exsisting child custody plan. Nothing was being followed by my ex husband. Addison was able to guide and assist me in establishing a plan I could propose and use with my Ex Husband. Of course my ex husband was difficult to work with, eventually leading us to go to court. The Fender law firm team was there every step of the way. Always available, always willing to help and kept me informed every step of the way. I was always given the reality and truth, never given false information or unattainable goals. I couldn't have asked for better representation. Very professional. Very reasonable. From day 1 to the end, I was always steered in the path that was best for my family and my needs.

Excellent Law Firm
My divorce/child custody case was very complicated and difficult, ultimately going to trial. Mr. Fender and his team were professional, honest, thorough, and very proactive in navigating me through the legal process of divorce and child custody. Mr. Fender's firm made me feel that my case was their top priority. Mr. Fender gave me sound legal advice, that resulted in a great outcome. I couldn't have chosen a better attorney to handle my case. I would highly recommend Fender Law Firm.

Couldn't have been a better choice!
My experience with lawyers and the Family Court system in the Beaufort/Charleston area is extensive. Addison Fender and his highly professional team have been a breath of fresh air. He represented us with vigor and compassion when necessary. He was fully committed and very familiar with the particulars of our case. Five stars aren't enough!

Outstanding Law Firm
The service provided to me by the Fender Law Firm was outstanding. They were in constant contact and kept me informed all the way through the process. They were easy to reach and addressed all of my questions and concerns no matter how minimal they might have seemed. They put in many hours and were very dedicated to my case; they seemed to have a personal interest and gave undivided attention. I will never forget what they have done for my family and would recommend their services with the highest regard.

His main concern is how he can transfer your money to him
Addison is very dishonest. I hired him for custody issues related to an abusive father. Throughout the process it became apparent his main concern was dragging the case on so I would have to keep paying him. After our last Hearing he asked me to come to his office with the understanding he was going to help me. He nonchalantly had me sign some paperwork and without realizing it i rehired him so he could bill me for conversations we had after the Hearing was over—very dishonest!!!!

Response from Addison FenderJune 2, 2018
Anonymous- I have gone back through our files (and memory) and have no records of any client who has "rehired" the firm immediately after a final hearing, and question why there would be the need to "rehire" the firm following any final hearing. Additionally, when there are any questions after any hearing, I always make it a point to stick around the court house and work through these. It has been the rare occasion when a client has come back to the office after a hearing and this has never been to "sign some paperwork" that "rehired" me as you allege.
The reality is that had you ever been a client, which is doubtful based on your recollections, you would have remained a client of the firm until your case was concluded. After a final hearing, as you allege we represented you on, that would mean that once the signed order is received and you are provided with copies of any final order. When our representation was completed, you would then receive a disengagement letter from us thanking you for allowing us to represent you, explaining various things such as what we do with your file, and enclosed would also be either a final bill for services or a return of any funds you had remaining in trust.
Also, we have clients contact us asking questions weeks, months and even years after the conclusion of our representation and generally we are available to speak with them that very day and work through the problem. There is never any bill sent for this.
Anonymous, your negative review simply does not add up and is certainly not something that was ever brought to my attention before your having taking to the keyboard. Given that your accusations are not consistent with our standard operating procedure, coupled with the fact that at the Fender Law Firm we build relationships with our clients based on hardwork and dedication, we have to assume you are an internet troll with too much free time or possibly an opposing party unhappy with the result we achieved for our client.
If you are in fact a former client Anonymous, and feel that you were not treated with the utmost respect and professionalism by me or anyone with my law firm, I urge you to give me a call personally to discuss the situation and allow me to make it right. I look froward to hearing from you.
