William George Dunlap's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse William. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I worked with Will Dunlap for approximately one year at Weinstock, Friedman and Friedman, and found him consistently to be well-organized, quick in his response to questions or issues, conscientious and professional in his demeanor. I did not have a supervisory role over him and we were not in the same departments, so I cannot speak specifically about his written work product since I did not review it. Will has moved on to Anne Arundel County professionally but I would gladly refer family law litigation to his care in that part of the State. I am pleased to endorse him and wish him continued success in Anne Arundel County."
