Mr. Sutton litterally saved my career and my life. I had a second offense DUI which would have destroyed my career and therefore no income. Through Mr. Sutton's expertise and strategic approach to my case coupled with his persistence and compassion made me believe in myself again. By Mr. Sutton's diligence, the charges were dropped. I am honored to have worked with Mr. Sutton and would recommend him to anyone who believes in second chances. Mr. Sutton is a true angel among us!

My situation was not an easy one. I was looking at a 2nd or possible 3rd dui due to some factors. Long story short I was looking at probable jail time which is very scary. Mr. Sutton gave advice to get some help which I did on my own over 8 weeks and that along with his excellent skills got it knocked down to a wreckless and also won my dmv hearing getting my license back next week. If you are looking for a lawyer do not go anywhere else but to this man. He will help and take the stress out of your difficult situation. Thanks so much I Mr. Sutton talk soon.

I had to have a family member walk into mr. Sutton's office cuz I was currently Behind Bars. Mr. Sutton came multiple times throughout the week to review my case. Not only did I get the results that I needed and wanted. He went over and Beyond to help me out. I highly highly highly recommend him and I will always recommend him. So if you ever find yourself needing a lawyer most definitely check out mr. Sutton. THE BEST ON THE BEACH

If you want the BEST lawyer in the Myrtle Beach area working on your case, hire Bob Sutton! Bob is one of the hardest working, professional lawyers in the area that cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to protect them. He always stayed in close contact with me thru out my case. I was arrested and charged with a .24 DUI 2nd offense. I was facing jail time, substantial fines, and a long license suspension. My situation was hopeless. Bob does not believe in hopeless. He worked very hard on my behalf and got my DUI charge dismissed and charge reduced to a traffic offense of Reckless Driving in a lower court. No suspension, no SR-22, no Ignition interlock, and NO JAIL TIME! If you ever need a Top Notch Attorney, I highly recommend Bob Sutton to represent you. Let him put his Knowledge and Experience to work for you! Thank you so much Mr. Sutton for what you have done for me and thank you for your service to our country! Larry O

Being new to the area and needing a lawyer is a scary situation. Researching competent lawyers on-line and finding Mr. Sutton was such a blessing. Mr. Sutton is professional and experienced. He took care of everything for me and the result was a dismissal. Thank you Bob!

Mr. Bob Sutton has been absolutely amazing through this entire situation. I am a person who has never been in trouble with the law, so being taken to jail after a car accident was very traumatizing for me. The moment I consulted with Mr. Sutton I knew I wanted him to be my lawyer. He assured me that everything was going to be okay and that he will handle everything. He did just that. My DUI was thrown out completely. I have nothing to say but amazing things about Mr. Sutton. I highly recommend Mr. Sutton to anyone who is in need of a DUI lawyer. You won't regret it!
