Got me 5yrs and I’m pretty sure he was happy about it

Basically I was told take the plea and we’ll appeal it just so happens that’s not how the law works. So I was tricked into taking this 5yr plea for a possession of less then 5 grams of drugs and 2 yrs parole then when I tried to appeal he surely wasn’t there he got his 15k$ he got me to cop out his j...ob was done. He took advantage of a suffering family that had a drug addict son at 18 facing multiple fabricated drug charges. I ended up losing all appeals did 2 yrs in solitary 1.5 yrs in a max A prison and came home on SSI because I was so damaged mentally I still can’t function normally I’m still in prison mentally I don’t have nightmares my nightmares are dreaming of being stuck in prison. Since getting out and finishing parole I got my associates degree and am almost done with my law and society degree next stop law school. I’ll be putting in a 440 myself and taking my plea back because no 18 yr old should have to go what I went through and not get a YO. 15k$ down the drain I always knew you hated me every time I read my minutes it screams it in my face.

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....

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.

Review of William Strazza

I used William Strazza in a recent matter. Mr. Strazza went beyond the call of duty , attending to every aspect of the case. He carefully reviewed the case and kept me well informed at all times. He was a true professional and also personally took the time to understand the case and our situation. ... He worked with me and put me at ease, always making sure everything was understood and always overseeing all parts of the case. I highly recommend Mr. Strazza.
