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.

Remarkable

I received a DUI in the late June of 2012 in which I felt I was wrongfully accused. I was stressed, worried, nervous, concerned – you name it. I hired Bill in July of 2012. From the very beginning, Bill assured me that he would do the best of his ability to help me in every way possible and that I co...uld relax. From there, he explained the situation in full to me – the pros, the cons, every possibility, his personal views, etc – and never pushed me to a decision I did not make 100% on my own. He would clarify everything in layman terms that I could understand and did not try to intimidate me with jargon. The case ended up going all the way through trial. Bill was great – he had a strong understanding of the law and in the end we came out on top. He successfully represented me and I was found not guilty. Through the whole process, Bill maintained strong communication with me, was always honest, punctual, and kept me in the loop at all times. I looked at him as someone I could trust, have confidence in, and someone truly on my side – he cared and really fought for me. I highly recommend Bill as a lawyer.
