Myrtle Mutt September 9, 2021

I messed up - Richard Cleaned the mess up. I had a minor run-in with cop but it turns out that urinating in public would show up as a sex crime! After I found out what could Happen I called Mr Gustafson, who listened to my story and went to work. I was very satisfied with the outcome and would not suggest anyone plead to anything before they consult with Richard.

Richard H Gustafson was hired by me to reduce my 1st DUI to lesser charge or Nothing. I paid him $4,700 in March which he wanted the money ASAP and two months later he called me into office to tell me to plead guilty and he was able to get me out of 30 dais in jail. I never heard that he even attempted to reduce my charge. I asked him for a detailed paper showing what was used from my $4700.They refused to show me so I fired him ASAP and got myself an attorney that read my discovery and said I will take care of you.

Biography

For over 30 years, I've been helping South Carolinians that have been accused of criminal and traffic offenses get their day in court.

I graduated from Valparaiso University School of Law, then clerked for Pike County (Kentucky) Circuit Judges Baird Colleton and Charles Lowe in Kentucky.

I was a public defender in Orangeburg, SC. - fighting for clients that otherwise would have been worked through the system and jailed due to plea bargaining. My reputation for getting my clients in front of a jury of their peers rather than letting the prosecutors pressure them into a plea helped me build my practice.

I then moved to North Myrtle Beach, where I enjoy helping people accused of crimes get the results they need in the legal system that is stacked against them.
