I cannot say enough good things about Stephan and his team, especially Tabitha. Going through a divorce and custody case is one of the most stressful and emotionally exhausting experiences a person can face, and having the right legal team makes all the difference. From day one, Stephan was professional, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely invested in helping me navigate a very difficult situation. He took the time to explain things clearly, kept me informed throughout the process, and always made me feel like my case actually mattered. His experience and confidence gave me peace of mind during moments where I honestly felt overwhelmed. What truly set Stephan apart for me was the personal side of his support. There were times he called after hours just to talk and help me through difficult moments. He shared wisdom, encouragement, and even stories from his own life that helped put things into perspective and reminded me I wasn't alone in what I was going through. That level of compassion and humanity meant more to me than I can properly explain. Tabitha was equally incredible. She was compassionate, responsive, organized, and always willing to help whenever I had questions or concerns. Her communication and support meant more than I can properly put into words. You can tell she truly cares about the people she works with, and that level of dedication is rare. What stood out most about this firm was the balance of professionalism and genuine human compassion. I never felt like just another case number. They treated me with respect, patience, and understanding during one of the hardest times in my life. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you, guide you honestly, and truly care about your family and future, I highly recommend Stephan and his team. I'm deeply grateful for everything they've done for me. read more

Futeral & Nelson are without a doubt the absolute best law firm in the Charleston community. I had complex legal issues involving emergency child custody for my children's safety, and a separate civil case involving a property, and had very fortunate outcomes in both cases. Stephan Futeral is an amazing trial attorney in both the Family and Civil Courts. He's a legal scholar and knows SC law. As my cases were complex, there was a lot of evidence that was needed in both trial cases, and the paralegals Tabitha and Stephanie did an very impressive job of keeping it all organized both in pretrial and at the hearings. Partner Tom Nelson and Attorney Lauren Strasburger also provided very sound advice and legal help along my journey. Stephan provided me very realistic expectations on timing and outcomes. The entire firm's representation had and continues to have a very positive impact for my children and our family's peace of mind. Futeral & Nelson have my highest recommendation! read more

For example, Mr. Futeral and his partner Thomas Nelson represented many residents of Hamblin Plantation concerning problems many of us had with the Home Owner's Association. Because of their hard work, we were able to turn things around in our community. They are on top of their game, they kept everyone in the loop, and they treated all of us with compassion and respect. read more
