William Michael Sullivan

I came to Mr. Sullivan today seeking a second opinion about the actions of my current divorce attorney, a local country lawyer. Two financial advisers had criticized the guy. So I asked two other local attorneys, who both said that my attorney had made a costly mistake. Sounded pretty damning, but... I had a gut feeling I should check further, since other parts of their advice did not check out. So I got another recommendation from a source I could trust, who pointed me to Mr. Sullivan... for a third second opinion. Mr. Sullivan did NOT try to poach me as a client. Instead, he told me that my local country lawyer had actually done exactly the right thing. He did not try to undermine my confidence in my own attorney, even tho' that might have got him my business, and that was exactly what two other attorney's tried to do. Instead, he explained how the point in question worked in the Suffolk County courts, and why he would have done pretty much the same thing.

William Sullivan has always remained the same lawyer I hired him as throughout my 4 year divorce process : Responsive, knowledgable, informative and trustworthy. A lawyer needs to be the right fit for you and your case. Whether you need a lion in the court room, a family man who understands the lov...e you have for your children - Will is also an ethical person who can help you rest peacefully at night knowing you're doing right in this world. William Sullivan will follow your lead as he allows his clients to have a voice. Additionally, his level of expertise lends a calming experience to what can be the most of stressful situations. This among so many other things separates him from the rest.

I met Will on New Years Eve, about 4 years ago. I retained him to assist on a bogus OOP my ex filed against me. First off I'd like to say one thing that impressed me was his genuine interest in my case, and his availability. It was always easy to reach him and any/all issues, questions and concerns ...were addressed in a timely manner. With his knowledge of family law, he was very reassuring and explained everything in layman's terms. With our first appearance on the OOP case he was able to have it vacated immediately. I was so impressed with not just his knowledge, but with his courtroom mannerisms, that I hired him on 2-3 more cases including a custody case which he helped me win. And with each case he would explain just what needs to be done and how the process works step by step. I would definitely recommend and rehire him if needed. To sum it up, Will Sullivan is an attorney who handles himself professionally in the courtroom, I like to say 'professionally polite'. He can harpoon his adversary in front of a judge without ever raising his voice, he simply allows his knowledge of the law and impeccable timing in presenting his point to shut down the opposition in a professional manner. He is extremely competent with current family law, maintains excellent communication with his clients and truly defends his clients as if they were a member of his personal family. In the past 4 years working with Will, I felt more like a brother/best friend rather then 'just another client or paycheck'. If you want a highly competent attorney that will take your case and handle it like he's personally involved, then you need to meet with Will. I'm sure after meeting with him you will hire him. You will leave his office feeling confident in his ability and professionalism and any stress caused by your current situation, will be greatly reduced after meeting with Will and seeing him in action. Again, I hope to never need his services in the future, but if I do there's no other attorney I would even consider.

I am a teacher and Will was recommended to me by a wonderful family that knew him on a personal level and also used his services in two of their divorces. Ironically, when I was looking into a divorce attorney, a friend of mine was a Suffolk County District Attorney for many years and it was also th...is office that he recommended. If I remember correctly Will also serves on a board that probably gives him an upper hand as your attorney. He has a great rapport with the judges in the courts and he is very easy to talk to. He is also a dad himself so he gets what it means when you are in something to fight for the rights of your children. He is compassionate yet tough when he needed to be. He is very educated, well spoken and is definitely someone you would feel proud to represent you.

I hired Will to handle my divorce in 2011 and I must say he was the calm in the storm. His confidence, knowledge and sense of humor helped me get through a difficult time. Will negotiated the divorce while paying attention to every detail so as to protect my future. He is fair, honest and respectabl...e. I was very happy with the agreement Will constructed for me and my children. I have since hired Will again to represent me in a child support matter. His rapport with court officers, his peers and magistrates alike demonstrates a level of character, integrity and professionalism not possessed by many. His staff is caring and efficient. I would, and have, recommended Will to anyone I know who finds themselves in need of an attorney. There has never been a day that I doubted my decision to hire him. I have peace in knowing that my divorce and child support matter have been placed in the right hands.
