William Robert Francis Conners

I retained Mr. Conners at a high rate, with assurances that he would be handling the case. I was pawned off to one of his newer less experienced attorneys when he did not make an appearance at my court date (went to a different clients date instead). I was then over billed in hours for them to delibe...rate with each other (often doing the same tasks multiple times) and each work on different strategies, as well as a final bill for hours that did not exsist. Lack of communication in the firm and what I would consider unethical billing practices.

William Conners represented me as defense counsel in a contentious family law case against an aggressive Fairfax attorney and an even more aggressive, litigious, and vindictive ex-spouse. This review is meant to be helpful for prospective clients, so here is my candid assessment of what you will get ...with Mr. Conners: - A top notch legal professional who is about as knowledgeable about family law as I've ever seen. Anywhere. - He will take your case very seriously; he will sit with you to formulate the most effective legal strategy and he will be direct and honest about setting realistic expectations. - He is one of the most efficient attorney's out there; he will work on preparing your case professionally and coherently. - He is passionate about the law and his profession: He cares about your case as if it's his own. - Unlike many lawyers out there, he is not out to run up the hours and drain your wallet. - His level of preparation before trial is superb. Going to trial is always stressful, but you go into trial feeling confident knowing that you have an attorney who is thoroughly prepared for your case and positioned to win. - He's is very responsive; unless he's tied up in court he responds to emails within hours (or less). In the court room: - At trial, he's focused on one thing and one thing only: Winning your case. - He has absolute command of the court room and respect of the judge. - I was absolutely astounded by the professionalism and court room acumen demonstrated by Mr. Conners at my trial. - His vast knowledge of the family law enables him to make very succinct and clear legal arguments in support of his client's case. - His vast knowledge of family law also enables him to effectively discredit opposing counsel's arguments that are not based on fact or law. - His cross-examination of witnesses is on-point and quickly exposes their weaknesses. - Like a legal maestro, his delivery of arguments is articulate, factual, and convincing. Summary: If you have a challenging family law case and you are looking for the best family attorney you can get, Mr. Conners has certainly earned that tile.
