Posted by William | November 05, 2025 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Mr. McElroy is Top Dog Law.

I am I am so glad I found this Lawyer (William McElroy) after I was arrested by Abington police for a DUI last January. I am 58yo and I'm sorry to say this but I had over 7 Dui convictions lifetime. This current Dui being my first within 10yrs. William showed up at my preliminary hearing before a...nyone else did and when the arresting officer showed up Bill talked him into dropping my 1543b down to a 1543a. When my case went up to the courthouse in Norristown the district attorney offered me 30 days because my record showed I had 5 previous 1543a convictions but my lawyer Bill dug deep and found out two of those convictions happened in district court 20 years ago without me being present. I ended up pleading to 72 hours at home! This is the real Top Dog Law!

Tireless, Honest, Truly cares about his clients. Bill McElroy is an excellent attorney!

Mr. Bill McElroy is a down to earth attorney who takes all the time needed to make sure his clients are well informed and comfortable. Bill is not only an extremely talented attorney,however, his knowledge stretches far beyond the law. He saved my son not only in the court room but he researched ...my sons education and background and made sure he would be able to continue a pursuit toward his career goals. My family and I were worried about the daunting future my son was facing. Mr. McElroy explored every option and every aspect of the law and the Constitution in the preparation of my son's defense. The police, the district attorney's office and judges were all aware of Mr. McElroy's character and credibility. His knowledge of the law and its application is remarkable and is apparent to those he works with in and out of the court room. Bill was recommended to us by Bucks county Attorney, Robert Mancini. We are grateful to Bill McElroy and I am proud to have the opportunity to recommend this excellent attorney and modest man. Thank you Bill, and God Bless you and your family.
