Great Service
Bill Shreve helped me out drastically with a mistake I made resulting in a speeding ticket that could have cost me my license. Aside from great communication for the duration of my case, the end result with was no points on my license at all. Thanks so much Bill!

A TERRIBLE LAWYER
I was introduced by an online referring service to use Mr. William Shreve as my attorney to handle my divorce . He did a terrible job for me so far. I have to beg him to move every step forward.

This client did not want to pay Spousal Support during the pendency of his Divorce; unfortunately, did not heed my advise and was Ordered to pay child and spousal support throughout his divorce for thousands of dollars each month. Had he been agreeable to my counsel and advice, the process would have been much cheaper and more expedient then it was for him. Choosing to proceed without the advice of experienced counsel was certainly to his detriment.
