Couldn't ask for more

Bill, Derek and Aspen are that rare combination of brilliant legal minds and genuinely caring personalities. The whole team was incredibly empathetic, taking the time to really understand my case, explain potential avenues and align on the strategy. They also maintained the highest level of professio...nalism throughout the process and ensured I always knew what was happening. If you're looking for an experienced, caring and responsive legal team, you can't do better than these guys!

Kind-Hearted, Hard Working Attorney

Bill was an excellent attorney to work with. He listened to my story and met with me on weekly basis to ensure I was up to date with the progression of my case. He made sure to seek my insight before making any decisions on my behalf. He was insightful, and checked up on me even after my case was set...tled. I never felt alone because I knew Bill had my back.

Superb

Bill is diligent, passionate and truly caring. I couldn’t have been happier with the work of this excellent law team. I would recommend them to anyone and actually feel like I’ve made a friend in Bill M.

Excellent Attorney, Good Man, Big Heart.

Bill, puts his heart into representing clients. Works diligently to provide the desired result, and sincerely cares about making a difference. There are those that work for a fee and those that work to serve. Bill is certainly the latter. His passion, integrity, and hard work make him an excellent ch...oice as counsel.

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.
