Who We Are

Comprehensive Advocacy in the Lowcountry

Our experienced team provides comprehensive legal services focused on customized Family Court solutions, ensuring personalized representation for each client.

At May River Family Law Solutions, we are deeply rooted in the Lowcountry. Our founding attorney was born and raised here.

May River Family Law Solutions handles every aspect of South Carolina family court. We are not a general practice firm, but instead a boutique Family Law firm focused on South Carolina family court matters. We represent clients across the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit—including Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Colleton, and Allendale counties—with a practice that spans the full spectrum of domestic relations.
We understand that family law is rarely one-dimensional. That is why we are equipped to handle traditional important matters such as divorce, separation, and custody, alongside high-stakes litigation including DSS defense, juvenile defense, as well as complex strategy and analysis work for other firms. We also mediate private family court matters and serve as Guardian ad Litem in private matters involving custody and adoption. Our goal is to provide clarity, strategy, and steadfast advocacy during your most challenging times.

Your Family Court Advocate in the Lowcountry

We don’t dabble – we focus. Whether defending a parent or child from the State or guiding a spouse through a divorce, enforcing a custody agreement, or modifying it, our goal is to provide the most rigorous, informed, and protective advocacy in the Lowcountry. If you want a general practice attorney, you may feel more comfortable calling another firm – we focus on matters in the Family Court.

A Legacy of Commitment in Family Law

Founded in the heart of the Lowcountry, May River Family Law Solutions emerged from a vision to create a family-law-focused legal practice that prioritizes personalized service and client empowerment. Over the years, we have cultivated a reputation for excellence, representing clients throughout Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Colleton, and Allendale counties. Our team’s extensive experience and understanding of local family law dynamics and substantial experience in front of local Judges allow us to effectively address unique legal issues, fostering strong relationships with our clients and the communities we serve.

Established with a commitment to family advocacy, our firm has grown to be a trusted name in family law across the Lowcountry.

Meet the Attorney: Dustin Lee, Esq.

Founder, May River Family Law Solutions

Dustin Lee is not just a family law attorney; he is a seasoned litigator with a reputation for handling the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit’s most complex and high-stakes cases. Based in Bluffton, South Carolina, Dustin founded May River Family Law Solutions with a singular focus: to provide high quality, knowledgeable, and strategic advocacy for families in crisis.

A Leader in Defense & Advocacy Dustin distinguishes himself through his extensive experience in DSS (Department of Social Services) defense. Having handled in excess of 500 hearings involving the South Carolina DSS, he possesses a rare depth of knowledge regarding state intervention protocols, Central Registry findings, and removal proceedings.

His work in this niche is widely recognized; Dustin has served as an instructor at legal seminars, teaching other South Carolina attorneys how to effectively defend against DSS actions. He brings this same level of rigorous preparation and courtroom intensity to his private divorce and custody practice.

Certified Family Court Mediator Beyond litigation, Dustin is a Certified Family Court Mediator. He understands that the best outcome for a family is often one they craft themselves, rather than one imposed by a judge. His background as a trial lawyer makes him an effective mediator—he knows exactly how judges in Beaufort, Jasper, and surrounding counties tend to rule, allowing him to guide parties toward realistic and durable settlements.

Deep Lowcountry Roots Dustin’s practice is dedicated exclusively to the Lowcountry. He routinely represents clients in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Colleton, and Allendale counties. Whether arguing a complex appeal before a higher court or negotiating a quiet settlement in a conference room, Dustin’s goal remains the same: to protect his client’s rights and secure their future.
