Not that a law firm of this caliber needs google reviews to promote business, but I hope that someday like me, someone will be looking through google for a great attorney. And then they’ll find Bill and John and choose to go with them. Because it will be the best choice they’ve ever made!

They only take clients that are assumed innocent. Someone like myself who was given a ticket for the car accident they want take on as a client. You see I had a seizure and blacked out while driving and my friend and I were both hurt and taken to the hospital.I did not know that at the time because I had never had seizures before that moment. They tested me for alcohol and drugs and I was negative for both. The officer wrote me a ticket for driving on the wrong side of the rode. I knew I had not fallen asleep but it was late in the evening so that’s what they assumed after I tested negative for alcohol and drugs So we were both injured my friend more than myself but we were both injured physically and emotionally very much. So a few more weeks go bye and I’m leaving my aunts house who I had been staying with for a few nights because she had just moved back into town from California. So long story short I wake up after sleeping almost 12hours and leave my aunts that morning and on the highway about a hour later I total my truck and it catches on fire and I’m pulled from the truck unconscious and taken to the ER where there I finally wake up to them telling me I had just been in a accident.I was alone and no one else was involved I was not arrested but I was given a dwi even though I tested negative for drugs and alcohol. So I need a lawyer for that wreck as well as my first wreck. I was hospitalized again and another concussion with more injuries. I knew immediately I had just woke up from a great night’s rest so there was no way I had fell asleep. I knew I had a medical condition.they told me I had had a seizure and blacked out. I knew that is what had happened just a few weeks earlier with my friend and I. After going home after several more days in the hospital my friend found me having seizures on the floor foaming at the mouth having convulsions. They ran outside in the caldesac screaming that I was dying inside. Several neighbors came in and saw me having the seizures and called 911. So again I black out and when I finally wake up I’m in the Emergency Room again. It has been documented that I’m having all these seizures that cause you to blackout. I’ve had a rough couple of months with test in the hospital to see if it was any infection around my heart which they found there wasn’t so it’s my brain that’s causing the seizures and I’m seeing neurologist now and taking new medications twice a day to help control the seizures. So today finally feeling good enough tocall a lawyer so I find one on Google and they have five stars so I think wow. They must be great. So I call them and talk to them for almost a hour explaining everything and as soon as they ask me my friends name and number they tell me they don’t take client’s who are guilty since I was given a ticket. I was surprised that they said there policy is that they want help someone like myself who obviously has having some kind of medical condition that he’s just learning he has. So ok I’m shocked they didn’t want to help me but the next thing I know my friend who’s name and number I had just told Teds law firm about they call and tell my friend there’s no help for me but they can help them so could they represent them against me when I had just called wanting them to help us. I’m so disappointed in there what I find unethical choice. I’m now left to find a lawyer to help me and my friends not speaking to me. This is all just devastating. I will find the right law firm to help me. A organization that cares about everyone. Teds Law Firm isn’t that Firm. 1star only because they want let me do 0star. I wanted to let you know I won in court with the lawyer I hired since TED Law wouldn’t take my case. Don’t use these ambulance chasers. Find someone who actually cares about the truth

Ted Law made this an stress-free process from beginning to end. Attorney Susco was amazing to work with. I hope I never need them again but they will be the first ones I call if I’m ever in another accident.

Dave and his team are truly the best at what they do. I stumbled upon Dave when asking a question on Avvo after I had my identity stolen. Dave was thorough, knowledgeable, communicative, and very honest in terms of what to expect throughout the process—ultimately netting me multiple settlements and restoring my identity. His staff cannot be outdone anywhere. They were genuinely friendly, consistently available to answer questions, and just generally pleasant all around to work with. The outcomes of my cases more than surpassed my expectations and I’m truly grateful to Dave for his representation as well as Kristy and Janel for their hard work on my case. They often helped just by bringing levity during a very stressful time and I’m so thankful to them.

Although we didn't quite get to David formally representing us, he bent over backwards to assist our family in truly a desperate time. The matter was resolved no short due to his advise to me and I wasn't even a client yet. I thank you David from the bottom of my heart. My mom as well!!

Find the best, most qualified legal representation for whatever your case-you’ve selected the best lawyers possible with Charlie Condon Law Firm!

first met Charlie Condon and Emily we knew we were in the right place. They guided us thru everything,
explained the process and told us what the choices were. You never know what life will throw at you and
when a situation like this happens, you need the best team possible. We HIGHLY recommend Charlie
Condon Law Firm!

I would recommend the Charlie Condon Law Firm to anyone that is looking for top representation in any legal matter. I came to them with a very complex case and the outcome was much better than expected. It was obvious from the beginning that they were looking out for my best interest. They thoroughly went through all the facts and took into consideration the many moving parts of the case, and came up with a course of actions that eventually yielded the best result possible. Their years of experience, extensive knowledge of the law, and the genuine desire to help made them the perfect team to handle my case.

A few years back, my wife and I had an unfortunate situation that required us to get an attorney to help resolve a situation in which we wronged. Nate did an amazing job getting us what we deserved. He was a true pleasure to work with and a brilliant lawyer.
I’ve dealt with other attorneys since then but none measure up to Nate! I haven’t talked to him for years so he may not even remember our case but we will never forget his level of service, professional, and even some level of “fun” throughout the process. His secretary was super helpful also.
I just wanted to say “Thank You” again.

Lawrence has been a trusted representative of the healthcare industry in South Carolina for my entire 30 year tenure in South Carolina healthcare finance. In addition to his outstanding outcomes and advisement at the contracted level, he has been and remains a true friend to the industry serving gratis for a number of committees and efforts at the state and national level.

I hired Robert less than a week before my court date. He was very confident, and very honest and direct in explaining what he thought he could do for me. He ended up actually doing better than promised and was very communicative and easy to work with. I've recommended him to other friends and would call him in a heartbeat if I were to need his services again.

I was lucky enough to have Mr. Mobley assigned as my pro bono attorney and now that my case is wrapped up, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Mr. Mobley is very patient, knowledgeable and thorough. When updating me, he took the time to ensure I understood all aspects of my case; he continued to provide me with sound advice along the way. His hard work and perseverance resulted in the best possible outcome for me and my loved ones.

Mr. Dill was very professional and approachable. When you are represented by Michael Dill, you have complete access to him. On the first day I met with him, he explained my case to me in a way that I could understand. He gave me his personal cell phone number and told me that I could call him any time I had a question.
He did a wonderful job on my case and got me much more money than I ever expected. He knew the law and how to fight the insurance company to get me what I deserved. Without him I would not have known my rights. I recommend him to anyone who has been in a car accident or is injured through the fault of someone else. He’s the best!”

I didn't know what I needed to do about a tricky situation and Kent Larsson was able to figure it out where other attorneys were stumped. I am thankful that he did not give up on my situation and found the answers I was looking for to help me recover some losses that I thought were gone forever. It's nice to know that he spent extra time researching and finding an answer even though it was time consuming for him. Great analytical skills needed to find a solution.

I hired Mary Beasley Tomlinson to represent me with a recent case and I must say my experience was a 10/10. She told me what she could do, and did exactly that! Even though my court date was at a later time, she was able to get it moved up sooner, and got me an amazing deal to keep my record clean. Very very thankful, and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone that knows exactly what they’re doing.

“Asher Watson guided me through the scariest and darkest time of my life that involved a very serious felony that I did not commit. It took a while, but he was patient, always let me know what was going on, and fought his hardest every step of the way. I am happy to say my charge was dismissed, I have a clean record, and I am thrilled to move on with the next chapter of my life.”

July 2021 while residing in Greenville, South Carolina, I was rear ended resulting in a roll over and totaling my car. As I laid inside of my car awaiting extraction, I knew I was going to need a personal injury lawyer as this was way more than a fender bender.
The morning after the accident I met my personal lawyer and while meeting with him asked if he knew of a reputable personal injury lawyer. He did: Mr. Joel Hughes in the law office of Kenneth Berger in Columbia, SC.
Mr. Hughes contacted me right away and met me at my house within a couple days. He assured me Berger's office does work all over the State of SC.
Immediately, I knew I was in good hands. Mr. Hughes questions were stop on and lots of information was exchanged in the next few days.
I was assured I could contact Mr. Hughes at any time, for any reason; something I did often.
Mr. Hughes took over, allowing me the time to heal and recover. He did all the heavy lifting, all the calls, organizing of medical records, all the negotiations. I was always kept informed. My input was asked for. My settlement was my decision. I was never pressured.
My case took 15 months to settle, basically until I was released from my Doctors. In that 15 months, I never felt ignored, alone, a number, or a paycheck.
Would I use this firm again? Of course. Would I recommend this firm to others? Of course!
An added bonus, this firm does charity work in and around Columbia. How nice is that?

I found myself needing a lawyer and luckily found Brad with Kenneth Berger Law Offices. I knew I was in the right place when he referred me to another firm for my immediate issues.
While the other firm handled my problem very very well, I did end up back with Brad to finish up an even more important part of my problem that I didn't see coming.
These guys ARE VERY MUCH here to help and are thorough on every aspect of your needs, even when those needs may be better served by another office.
They really mean it when they say they don't take just anybody on as a client, but once they do, you can rest assured that you are in the hands of the very very best.
There is not enough stars to give these guys and gals.
FANTASTIC staff and lawyers!!!!
My family is blessed to have had you all help us!

This Law Firm is the best! They took my case when no one else would. They worked super hard to get me compensated for my car accident. Super awesome people, they stay in contact and update you on everything and Mrs Janet calls to check on you to see how you’re doing and to touch base but she really cares about the clients and it’s personal conversation and you feel heard and understood. If you need help with a case I highly recommend Anastopoulo Law Firm! If I ever have any problems in the future they will be my first call! I couldn’t be more grateful and satisfied with all they have done for me!!

We have used Bannister, Wyatt, and Stalvey for our legal needs, and will continue to do so in the future should the need arrive. They are exceptional and have always taken the time to talk through any questions we have, regardless how small they might have been.
Marcelo Torricos, was extremely professional, quick to respond, and very thorough as we worked through our estate planning. It is very difficult to decide who the legal guardians will be of your children. Mr. Torricos was compassionate and helped navigate our thoughts as we talked through our wishes should both my husband and I pass before our children are grown. He helped us to think through scenarios that we hadn't even thought of which made us comfortable that our boys will be taken care of if anything happened to us.
Jack McDonald, was also very professional and helped us navigate closing on a home equity loan to purchase land. This was in the height of the pandemic while everything was shut down. He kept the process going and we closed and got everything we needed to make our dream come true of owning a parcel of land to build on. When it came time to close, he did not just blow through every document we had to sign just to get the signature, he took the time to make sure we understood and were comfortable with everything on every document before we signed. He made it very easy for us to get and do everything he needed even while the pandemic made things infinitely harder on him I am sure.
I recommend Bannister, Wyatt & Stalvey for anyone needing legal advice or work. They are exceptional and I trust they have mine and my families best interest at heart all the time.

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You
A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.
Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.
When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:
- Fraud or deceptive business practices: If a company misled you into purchasing a product or service under false pretenses, a lawyer can help you seek compensation.
- Defective products: If you purchased a product that was unsafe or defective and caused harm, a lawyer can help you file a product liability claim.
- False advertising or unfair pricing: A lawyer can assist if you were misled by deceptive advertising or charged for services or products in a way that violates consumer laws.

How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?
Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
- Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
- Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.

Top Questions to Ask a Consumer Protection Lawyer
Before hiring a consumer protection lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they have the experience and skills to handle your case effectively. Key questions include:
-
What experience do you have with consumer protection law?
Ensure the lawyer has specific experience handling cases like yours, whether it involves product liability, fraud, or debt collection issues. -
