Great Experience

Denny Fraser revised our VA wills for SC. Gave us good advice that made it simpler and less expensive. Highly recommend!

Our Hilton Head Attorney

In 2003 we purchased a rental property on Hilton Head Island. Denson Fraser was our real estate attorney at closing. Since that time he has represented us in several additional closings. All of our closings were on schedule, completely accurate without any surprises. Upon moving to the island we s...ought Denny’s counsel regarding a review of our living trust. After reviewing our documentation changes were made to the trusts and duly recorded in South Carolina. We also sought Denny’s help in civil litigation against a tenant. His knowledge in matters of law made him a great warrior of justice. A successful warrior I might add. Through the years of knowing Denny we have found him to be a great attorney, wonderful story teller, author and a man with a marvelous sense of humor. Denson “Denny” Fraser is our attorney and legal counsel but much more important he is our Friend.

Effective Advice with a Splash of Humor

Mr. Fraser and his team have consulted us on various legal matters ranging from litigation, to real estate closings, to business matters, all of which were handled beyond our satisfaction. You'll struggle to find a more genuine, straightforward, guy. In a time where many legal advisers seem to talk... in circles and say nothing, Mr. Fraser and his team are concise, effective, and super knowledgeable.

Highly recommend!

Moving to SC from Michigan, Mr. Fraser assisted us with review and modification of our trust and medical forms, and also with small business and real estate legal documentation. We trust his guidance and appreciate all his professionalism.

By far the best lawyer I've been associated with.

My wife and I have known Denny for over 20 years. He is the most compassionate, trustworthy and dedicated professional we have had the pleasure to work with. Not only has he advised us on several personal matters over the years, he has represented us in a very large business transaction and an insu...rance claim. His character and dedication really shone with the insurance claim and had it not been for him, I'm not sure what would have happened. I would strongly recommend this man for any legal matter.

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.
