William Strazza through his excellent legal abilities Changed the course of my life. He saved me

I was pulled over in Union County where I Know no one so I called my Aunt whose a Councilwoman in Carteret and knows a lot of people. My aunt asked around for me and got back to me that same night saying I keep getting the same answer... its Bill Strazza. He is an excellent lawyer fights for his ...clients and knows the right people which in my case couldn't hurt because I needed all the help I could get. I got a DUI and it was my third. I was facing 6 months in jail and 10 years loss of driving. If you live in Jersey where I live not driving is not an option. I was weaving I was tested and under the influence of multiple substances. I was taking medication I desperately need and couldn't take if I went to jail. I was so scared I was convinced my life was over. Bill was calm and took the time to explain everything to me until I understood. He was able to find loopholes that got the testing they had done dismissed in turn getting my DUI dismissed. I walked out of the courtroom with a $250 reckless driving ticket. Mr Strazza fought for me every step of the way without his support in and out of the courtroom I don't know what I would have done. He didn't just take my money and do the bare minimum he wanted to win for me because he saw I was getting clean and getting my life back and he thought I deserved a second chance. Thanks to him I've gotten my life together and with a car. I don't have tons of fines hanging over my head. I will never forget the day I left the courtroom the judge looked at me and said you are a young beautiful woman and I hope you thank Mr.Strazza because I don't know how you walked in here with all those charges and are walking out Scott free. He also said Mr Strazza has told me you are making great strides in your recovery and Im happy for you I hope you use this chance to start a new better .life for yourself, and that is exactly what I did. Without Bill Strazza who knows what would have happened but he performed a miracle for me that day and changed my life. I would recommend him to ANYONE. I already have and he's doing amazing work with them as well. Thank you Bill you are a class act and Im so happy I called my aunt that day because I'm positive if i with any other lawyer that case would have went in a very different direction.

Awesome experience

William strazza not only got the best outcome for my case , but he treated us with the upmost professionalism. I will never use anyone else and i would recommend him to everyone I know that is need of a great attorney. I can say enough good things about him

Posted by anonymous | September 22, 2015 | Litigation

Unloyal, Poor Representative, Untrustworthy, etc...

I used this attorney to represent me as a plaintiff on a Civil Litigation Order to Show Cause. He began perfectly fine until the defedants retained their own attorney. Both the defendants and I entered an Temporary Interim Agreement before a Superior Court Judge which Mr. Strazza was in charge to pre...pare the documents. But, Mr. Strazza and the other attorney not only changed the terms of that agreement without my consent, but also Mr. Strazza has been lying to me since, screened my phone calls, and never took me back before the Judge. I had to retain a different lawyer. Worse of all, Mr. Strazza never had that document signed by the Judge and never even returned a portion of my money... Please be extremely careful with this lawyer: he will take your money, sells your case, and never returns your call....

Genuine and dedicated lawyer who truly cares for his clients

Mr Strazza did a great job as my lawyer. And took time to find out the truth in regards to the charges claimed against me. He was very informative when it came to my case and he fault for my rights in this case. He is a great lawyer and I would recommend and use him in any future situation. He put hi...s best foot forward to get the alleged charges against me drop.. Thank you again Mr Strazza
