Expert Lawyer Who Knows Exactly What To Do

I needed help with a citation and a friend referred me to Bill. Within minutes, Bill expertly familiarized himself on the specific statute and confidently had a defense plan. Bill attended my court appearance with me and immediately took command of things. He exuded confidence as he laid out the c...ase to the judge, and the judge very quickly dismissed the charge. Bill is a down-to-Earth person with a great attitude, and he is a professional is every sense of the word. Highly recommended!

Great Lawyer! Thanks for helping me!

I am from the Philadelphia PA area and was involved in an alleged criminal Simple Assault case in Buck County, PA one year ago, where someone made an egregious allegation against me. Thankfully, if it were not for Bill, this allegation could have totally ruined my life, ruin my reputation, ruin my ...career and even put me in prison. I found William Denardo (Bill) from an Internet presentation he made. I was so impressed, I called him right away. He answered, no voicemail or answering service. We had an immediate telephone consultation and I explained my case. He then invited me to have a face to face at his office, and it was during this meeting he explained what he could do for me and agreed to take the case. I felt good about him and did not hesitate to hire him. Bill gave me confidence I was in good hands and that he would work zealously exploring all legal options to achieve the best outcome for me. Bill is a superb lawyer and a great person to have on your side when you are in legal trouble. I say this because Bill’s integrity and professionalism throughout my case were admirable. Though scary, I did not feel alone and he did not keep me in the dark. He was proactive, communicative and responsive to all of my messages and calls; in fact, he would get back to me on the weekends and nights. Bill simplified legal jargon and the legal process so that anyone could understand. He has a dazzling mind and is incredibly smart. For example, during my trial, the judge misstated my charges to more serious charges. Within seconds Bill corrected the judge on the correct charges and the judge then apologized and said “ he was testing counsel.” Imagine if Bill was not mentally aware and nimble, the judge could have screwed me up and recorded more serious charges against me. By the way, Bill got my charges dropped from Simple Assault to a minor summary offense, which is like a traffic ticket! Finally, Bill knows both the prosecution and defense side of law proceedings. He knows it all! My case is just about closed and I am totally thrilled with Bill’s legal work and how he handled my case. I feel my life is back! I have already told many of my friends and family about him! This is an honest review from a real client. I would give him a perfect 10 if I could! Please consider William Denardo, Esquire if you need legal help or advice. Thanks again Bill. Bruce.

William DeNardo helped me in my time of need! Thank you!

There is nothing scarier in life than getting arrested. The sick feeling you have knowing that you messed up and feeling powerless to stop the process is nothing to laugh about. I found hope in my time of darkness. I remember the first day I met Bill. It was during the holidays and he took ti...me out of his schedule to see me in his office. He calmed me down and helped diminish my fears. He explained the process in a straight forward way and answered all my questions. His work ethic was evident as my case moved through the system. Though his hard work and refusal to give up, he was able to achieve a great result for me. His professionalism and his passion for his craft are second to none. I highly recommend Bill. --C.E.

Did not help me, could have done better. Didnt advise me well.

After hiring William DeNardo, he met me at the courthouse, he was unfamiliar with my case and said he did not want to represent me. He had no idea I had paid a $1000 deposit to his firm the week before. I went up to the prosecutor myself to see if i could work out a deal with them myself and they sai...d they would work with me. When the judge called my name I said i need time to find a new attorney, mine just quit, then bill walked over and said he would represent me. He negotiated a horrible plea deal for me, I told bill I couldnt plead guilty to a charge that may effect my hospital job in the future, he said "I took care of it", I plead guilty to the charges he negotiated and find out later that I can't get a job anywhere and one of the charges I plead guilty to was a domestic charge, so ive also lost my firearm privileges, he never advised me of any of this. I would have asked for a continuance and tried to straighten things out more before going back to court. Stay away from him!!

William DeNardo Is A Great Lawyer!

I'm so thankful that I found Bill!! He was a great lawyer to have by my side during a difficult time in my life. He took the time to listen, and let me vent, and reassured me that everything would work out with the case I was involved in. I'm such a worrier and I need constant reassurance, but Bill n...ever made me feel like I was bothering or burdening him. He makes you feel like he is your personal friend who you've known forever and who you can tell anything to without judgment. Another great thing about Bill was how proactive he was in reaching out to me and explaining everything so I wouldn't worry in the meantime. With some lawyers, you have to 'chase them down' in order to speak to them, and they rush you off the phone. This was never the case with Bill! It was advantageous that Bill had previously worked as a prosecutor in the D.A.'s office, because he was very knowledgeable about how cases typically played out, and he also had a good rapport with everyone at the courthouse. I'd recommend him to anyone! - Amber K
