His trial and litigation skills are critical to the evaluation of and strategic planning in any legal case and when a Family Law case goes to trial, Guy employs all of those skills.But a majority of cases involving families are settled before going to trial. To conduct the process most appropriate to a client’s particular situation, Guy draws on extensive experience with all available tools, including:Upon seeing the reality of domestic relations law, Guy saw room for improvement in how family disputes were handled in South Carolina. He sought alternatives and in 2003 became the first attorney in South Carolina trained in Collaborative Law. He is a founding member and past president of the South Carolina Collaborative Law Institute.

In early 2016, Guy and colleague Sean Keefer, released an innovative software program, called Settlyd.com, for Judges and attorneys in South Carolina to assist in the organization and secure management of client financial data.

As a community activist addressing consumer and environmental issues, Guy decided his most influential avenue for making a difference in the community was in the practice of law.

My particular case involved a child custody agreement, which normally is not an experience that I image anyone wishes to go through and I certainly was not looking forward to. However, as the title attempts to summarize based on my personal experience with Mr. Vitetta, these are the qualities that were most important to me. Above all, he responded nearly immediately to every email or call and kept me up-to-date with everything involving my case and explained everything in a way that I could understand. When presenting options, he was honest and straight forward, but maintained to keep my best interest in mind. Fees were very fair and at the conclusion of our matter, the result worked in everyone's favor. My children and I could not be happier. If you're searching for a no "BS" attorney that will devote the necessary time and attention to you and your legal issues, you can count on Mr. Vitetta.
Guy has handled my small business affairs and my personal affairs. He has been prompt and thorough. Couldn't ask for more, plus, he's a nice guy!
Not only a great attorney but a straightforward honest person. I spoke with two other attorneys before hiring Guy. This was definitely the right fit for me. Someone that recommends reasonable choices versus choices that lead to contention and long drawn out litigation that only serves the attorneys not the people involve.
Guy Vitetta was very helpful to me and my now husband as we navigated the agreement prior to a later-in-life marriage, to ensure that his resources went to his children, and my resources went to my children. It was an easy process that Guy explained very clearly.
We met with Mr. Vitteta to help is legally change our 3 year old sons last name. He made the process smooth and easy for us. He was straight to the point in terms of what he needed from us. Most importantly, he was very professional and easy to talk to. I called his office numerous times with questions and they were so kind and courteous. I would highly recommend him.
