William Strazza

I owe Bill everything for the depth and level of effort he put into my case. A bouncer who opted to attack me from behind lied and pressed charges claiming I assaulted him which led to an arrest that derailed my life for 3 years and still affects me to this day. I was arrested and charged with 2nd De...gree Aggravated Assault and Bill Strazza and Matthew Werner took the case as my defense attorney. Early on in the case when we received discovery and Bill saw the very obvious signs of self-defense that had occurred in my case he stated to me "There are few cases where I can state definitively that the client is innocent. This is one of those cases." He then proceeded to aggressively litigate my case and tries to get the charges dropped over 3 years. My case went through 3 prosecutors and 2 judges before it went to trial after 1149 days. With no successful resolution a court date was finally set in 2017. That same year - this man suffered a heartbreaking personal loss a few months prior to my trial. When offered to reschedule the trial for his sake - he insists that the trial proceed "because I wont watch an innocent man suffer any longer than he has to". He then proceeds to display the most brilliant defense of my case I had ever witnessed. He manages to prove to the entire jury that the bouncer was lying under oath - he shows a video footage which shows I am the one assaulted from behind from not one angle but multiple angles. He even managed to get another bouncer to AGREE THAT I WAS ASSAULTED and caught a slip from the detective investigating my case where he states he "arrested the victim". He places me on the stand (usually you dont do this) because he was confident that it would help the case - and it did. I was found unanimously not guilty of a second degree charge of assault as well as all the lesser ones. But he doesn't stop there - he pursues civil charges against the bouncer, venue, and PD, and waives all legal fees on the settlement. I am sitting here holding my kids who would not be here were it not for Bill. I would, and do, recommend him first and foremost because he has the one thing that I have seen in few lawyers: a heartfelt desire to defend you not for a win but for justice itself.

Bill was a phenomenal lawyer. He helped us with a juvenile issue for our child who requires special education. Bill’s understanding of the juvenile law and process were fantastic. Bill’s added expertise around children with special needs, was tremendously helpful. On top of his expertise, Bill has ...great soft skills as explained everything to us patiently, which helped put our mind at ease that we were in good hands. I cant say enough good things about Bill!

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.
