As a former client of Mr. Futeral's, I can attest to his professionalism and sincere care that he invests in his clients. Mr. Futeral was highly communicative and informative in each of our interactions. He not only gave legal advice to me, but was also empathetic and kind-hearted in what I would consider to be one of the hardest times in my life. I highly recommend him.

He is a knowledgeable, trustworthy and in my experience with lawyers, the classiest lawyer in SC that I had the privelage to work with briefly. I would have kept him longer but he was unable to travel to Conway, SC to represent me since his office is in Mount Pleasant. He's a kind man and has a sweet staff. Stephan go out there and fight for what's right when it comes to these children, be guided by what's true and honest.

I consulted with Mr. Futeral to review a new lease agreement containing an obscure addendum that seemingly exposed me to considerable liability. He patiently listened to my concerns, and our discussion greatly clarified my thinking about the issues posed by the new lease. I was also pleased to find that Mr. Futeral was already well informed about matters embodied in the addendum, despite this being a relatively new area of the law in which other lawyers had been unable to provide much guidance for me. By the end of our consultation, I was satisfied that I had a good course of action and understood the points that I needed to negotiate with the landlord. Happily, the landlord agreed to a clarification of the lease that was satisfactory to both parties, but even if that had not happened, I felt that my consultation with Mr. Futeral equipped me to choose from several alternative resolutions that all would have served my best interests. I am very pleased with the advice and insight I received from Mr. Futeral, and without question I will turn to him again the next time I need legal advice.

Stephan has represented me on more than one occasion with very good results. I have referred many friends and fellow business owners to Stephan who were also very satisfied with his professionalism and more importantly, the results. I have no hesitation to continue to refer his services.

Mr. Futeral has represented my interest in a case regarding city code violations. Mr. Futeral was very thorough with his knowledge of city law and impressed me with his research to exhaust all of my options. At all times, Mr. Futeral was professional and courteous with all parties involved and succinctly articulated his interpretation of the law and its application to my case. After discussions with our judge and opposing counsel, Mr. Futeral negotiated favorable terms which led to a favorable outcome. I would use his services again, and have recommend his services to friends and family.
