Great Experience working with Mr. Fraser!

Mr. Fraser assisted with my estate planning needs after I relocated to Bluffton, SC for retirement and purchased a home. He is exceptionally knowledgeable in the subject matter and I trust his recommendations completely. Besides his technical skills, Mr. Fraser is very professional, supportive and ki...nd; he is just and overall good human being! I highly recommend Mr. Fraser!

Great Lawyer and friend

Five years ago Denny Fraser wrote my will and I have just finished revising it with him I just want to say what a pleasure it is to work with him. Denny is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain terms and answers questions that I have,Denny is more than a lawyer he is like talking to a old... friend.

Outstanding Attorney and Human!

Denny completely destroys the stereotype of the sleazy lawyer. Kind, patient, and oh so honest, he is outstanding in every way possible. We saw him for our estate trust. He told us right up front the cost, and how we would proceed. And then we did. No “hidden charges”, nothing he forgot to tell... us, everything has gone exactly as he described. We have been so impressed with Denny, that we have recommended him to several of my friends, and they all praise him much as I have done in this review. The only problem with Denny is that he is not my next door neighbor! If he can’t be your neighbor either, at least be sure he is your attorney. You will never regret it.

A Consumate Professional

I called Attorney Fraser as the first step toward hiring an attorney for a legal need. He asked questions, considered my need and rendered an honest opinion that he is not the attorney that I need. Fair enough. But, then he went on to share twenty minutes of his. valuable time to help me sort through... the issue, recommend other attorneys and professionals who could serve me and to help me with other pertinent considerations. It was a great conversation--helpful and considerate. I can't use him for my immediate issue, but he can be sure that he will be the first I call for future legal counsel. I would have great confidence in working with him in the future.

Exceptional Attorney

He is the best of the best! From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a great price, then go to Mr. Denson

Avvo Rating

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.
