Michael has been practicing in the Charleston area for many years and has built experience that allows him to help clients in numerous different situations. We feel comfortable sending him clients who can benefit from his expertise.

I set up a phone consultation to be able to have a mediation for a non contested custody agreement. I was set up with a time and date. I made room in my busy schedule. I recieved multiple reminder emails. When it came time I called in and got a voice mail. I called multiple more times and the same result. I also sent an email and no response. I suggest dealing with a firm that respects you. This firm obviously doesn't.

As a young individual who has never been in trouble with the law before, this process of going through divorce and court was very scary for me. Mr. DeTreville walked me through the whole process and calmed me down when I was worried and concerned about going to court for my first divorce. He had the experience of many divorces and knew actually what to say and what to expect at this time of need. It was, however, hard to get ahold of Mr. DeTreville at times, but same went for me at the beginning due to being busy, so I can understand. Thank you for getting me through this rough and tough time in my life. I never could've done this alone. Thank you so very much.

I’m very pleased with with Michael DeTreville Law and Meditation. I’m glad to have hired him and would do so again. Everything was handled simply and professionally. Thank You

Unfortunately, Michael couldn't make it to my divorce hearing but sent Jessica P. instead. Just as professional as anyone would expect from an outstanding firm! Overall, filed the case in August and Michael told me he'd have it wrapped up before Halloween...my final hearing date was 29 Oct! I was in and out. After several attempts of DIY, going with DeTreville Law took so much weight off! Hire them today, please!

A Wonderful Lawyer very knowledgeable, I would recommend his service to everyone in the South Carolina area, I appreciate Michael DeTreville & his Firm thank you for being a Great Lawyer. Me and my family love you may God Bless you!

Great firm!

Gentle and Tough!!!

It is with great pleasure that I give Mr. Michael DeTreville an outstanding 5-star review. Michael represented me in a serious custody issue when I learned my children's father was under the influence of narcotics while our children were in his care.
While DSS was involved and helpful, I needed a dedicated, strong child advocacy lawyer and was referred to Mr. DeTreville.
In order to ensure the children's safety and well-being, our family needed to secure sole custody in our current home, where both my husband and I can care for and attend to their physical and emotional needs.
Mr. DeTreville and his staff were committed to protecting the children and through skillful negotiation managed to secure sole custody to me and my husband with ample child support.
He was masterful in his craft, remained steadfast in his negotiating with my ex-husband's attorney, and mediated a successful outcome for our children.
I had a great feeling about Michael from the first time that I met him. His paralegal Carole is a delight to communicate with too. She is charming and caring. Michael is knowledgeable, honest, and very effective at his craft. He's gentle and tough all at the same time. I genuinely believe he cares about his clients. My experience with Michael is that he is an outstanding lawyer and person.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Michael was absolutely stellar to work with...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Michael turned our to be the perfect lawyer to help navigate me through a very difficult time. He's knowledgeable, persistent, and willing to do what it takes to ensure your legal matter is addressed. I would reccomend him to anyone looking to exit their divorce in a fair and graceful manner!

Michael has helped me with two seperate court matters and has been great to work with and successful on both occasions. I can't recommend his firm and their services enough.

Shop Around and Save Your $$$$

A real pain in the ass. Don't piss this woman off.

We tried using the firm for divorce mediation. We had our appointment cancelled twice. The second time we were pulling into the driveway when we received the call. No call after the second cancellation. Wasted time and lost money since I had to give up a day of work.

Family law is never fun. It helps if you have a decent, fair attorney who's knowledgeable & experienced. If you need a lawyer, you really should check out DeTreville Law & Mediation. I highly recommend them.

I found Mr. DeTreville very helpful and knowledgeable with my divorce case, the staff was always very friendly and willing to assist in anyway possible. Mr. DeTreville and his entire staff made me feel as if my case was the most important.

When I had been faced with a difficult circumstance regarding visitation rights, I was forced to find a family lawyer and I was lucky to have found DeTreville Law. The entire firm has been very helpful throughout this entire process and I appreciate all of the work they have put in for my case. They were timely/prompt with answering any questions I had (which were may) and understanding during an extremely emotional and stressful time. Mr. DeTreville worked with me financially and was more affordable when compared to other firms in the area. In the end his knowledge and expertise has helped me to understand more about my rights as a father and I am very grateful that with his help, I now have permanent visitation with my daughter. I can not thank Mr. DeTreville and his excellent staff enough for the help.

Michael is a very knowledge attorney in the area that is great to work with. I would highly recommend him for a criminal or civil matter.

I could not have made it through such an emotional time of my life without the compassion, support, and guidance provided by DeTreville Law and Mediation. Michael DeTreville took the time to explain the process while also answering any and all questions that I had. Thank you!

I went to Mr. DeTreyville because of these reviews. When I saw him I told him how I'd been ripped off trying to get a divorce and he said he would help me and look out for me. He also said in a matter of weeks this would all be behind me. Retainer: $2,500. But I was sure it wouldn't actually cost that much and he assured me they would keep all costs down as much as possible.
Sounds like a good deal in a time of hurting.
Two weeks later I send an email saying I haven't heard anything.
A few days later, another email asking about my case.
Then a couple of phone calls with promises to get back to me.
After four weeks I said enough is enough. I need to get another lawyer and asked for my money back.
It has been two and a half months. I've sent emails, made phone calls, set appointments... He wasn't there for my appointment!
I said that I've lost faith in him to represent me and that I didn't trust the paralegal that can't even make appointments to do any work on my case.
Again, I asked for my money so that I could hire someone else.
No responses yet. Even though I was told that she would talk to Mr. DeTreyville.
My heart is broken in so many ways.
DeTreyville Law is unreliable and has no back up plan of any kind. When the first paralegal quit, I was told they didn't have access to her emails and that was why they didn't respond to me.
He's got lots of excuses for his terrible business and his new paralegal is pretty terrible as well!
WATCH OUT!!!

The attorneys and staff at DeTreville Law were extremely helpful and caring during my divorce. They were always willing to hear my concerns and showed great patience when I wasn’t the easiest client to deal with. Michael and Patricia DeTreville’s expertise and knowledge of SC Law made the legal process as low impact on my life as possible. The staff was very friendly and prompt with providing updates on my case. The “dream team” as I came to call them, always made me feel as if I were a priority and that they understood everything I was going through. I would highly recommend DeTreville Law & Mediation to anyone finding themselves in need of legal representation.

I can't speak highly enough of Michael DeTreville. He did a wonderful job handling my divorce case. I didn't need to worry about anything because I knew Michael would do his best to get things right. On the other hand, Melissa helped tremendously in that stressful process and she helped in any way she could.

If ever I have a family court need, Detreville Law & Mediation is the first call I make.

Legal Excellence
I have been a court reporter for the past 19 years. I have worked with thousands of attorneys. When it came time to retain an attorney, I went directly to DeTreville Law & Mediation, (who came highly recommended by another attorney) Both Michael and Patricia DeTreville handled my case with compassion, kindness and patience. Combine those characteristics with 35 plus years of legal experience, and you have a winning combination. Both Mr. DeTreville and Ms. DeTreville took the time to explain everything and often calmed me down during what was an emotionally upsetting time. DeTreville Law and Mediation provides personal attention to each and every case, which is not the norm today. Mr. DeTreville and Ms. DeTreville are well-respected attorneys who represent a standard that all attorneys should strive to achieve. I cannot say enough that if you need honest, caring legal experts to represent you in any matter call DerTeville Law and Mediation.

I highly recommend Michael DeTreville as an attorney. He had the upmost respect for my case and guided me step by step through the divorce process. His paralegal Melissa definitely knows what she is doing and was always there if I had any questions or concerns. I always received a response from both Michael and Melissa within 24 hours. They always put me at ease with my questions and concerns during my case. Even after my divorce was final they have checked in with me to make sure things are still going smoothly. The make you feel like you are family and not just a business transaction. If I ever need another attorney they will be the first ones I call.

Excellent attorneys who know SC laws inside and out! We have utilized DeTreville Law and Mediation for two separate cases and they did an excellent job on both. The office staff is professional and courteous. Both attorneys, Michael and Patricia DeTreville, are wonderful to work with and it's clear that they care about their clients and their cases. They do not over-bill and they are immensely helpful. We used them for a support/family law case and for an injury case. Michael was kind and took care of every detail while my husband was in the hospital. I highly recommend them and will use them again should the need arise.
