Good Attorney

I've had Bill as an attorney for for the past six years and have spent probably $100k with him fighting my ex-wife who suffers from borderline personality disorder and Narcissistic personality disorder. I'm disappointed about spending that much money but I'm not disappointed with Bill's performance. ...He summed it up pretty well too, "when a lunatic is driving the bus you don't have a lot of control over the process" That was pretty good advice about my ex-wife that took a little bit of the sting out of this whole process. I've been through three trials with Bill and he's always been the consummate professional. He's pretty organized and has a quiet, calm demeanor in court. That doesn't mean he isn't fighting for me; he understands that judges don't want an attorney to add to an emotionally charged atmosphere in court. They really, really frown upon that. I would recommend him to a friend, he knows what he's doing and he's very good in a trial situation or a hearing in front of a judge. One final thought - It's pretty clear the other reviews on this page are written by people that seem to think that spending money equates a positive result. It doesn't. Going to court is an expensive process and nobody wins when that happens. Don't expect to go on a "payment plan" with him either, he's a pretty good guy and really cares but he's not a bank. Offering him $500 dollars as one client said when she owed him $6K is really pathetic. I'm sure she knew how much she really owed him too, Bill is pretty good at providing timely statements.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
