Good Choice

Posted by Don & DawnFri Oct 09 2015

I have known William "Bill" Dedes for over 30 years, beginning with my first real estate transaction in 1981. Since that time he has been there for all of our families legal matters. Bill has always been available, easy to contact whenever we needed his services, and he always takes the time to listen to our concerns and never rushed to fully explain our matters. Additionally you will find his staff to be very professional and second to none. Not only has Bill demonstrated his abilities as an excellent legal attorney, but over the years he has become a very close friend. I highly recommend Bill Dedes for all your legal matters.
