Note from Bill:
"Thank you for taking the time to ensure you get quality legal services from someone committed to providing holistic legal services targeted toward problem-solving and achieving a cost-effective solution."
About our Law Firm:
In 2005, Bill joined with Chris Flohr to form Blackford & Flohr, L.L.C., a firm dedicated to providing high-quality trial advocacy for its clients. Together, they wanted to establish the kind of firm that is difficult to find: one that would provide passionate and practical legal advocates who are able to go to the mat for their clients and care more about them than politics or paychecks.
Today, Blackford & Flohr represents a variety of clients in cases for criminal defense, family law, DUI/DWI, construction law, business law, rape, traffic defense, and other general law litigation. We operate in Arundel County, Montgomery County, Baltimore, Towson, Ellicott City, Washington, DC, and throughout Maryland.

Bill's Personal Life:
Outside of his professional life, Bill enjoys playing ice hockey and golf, volunteering time for addiction treatment services and being involved with his extended family. Bill is happily married to his wife and they recently had a beautiful daughter last summer, who has joined their two very spoiled dogs at home in Baltimore.

An exceptional experience!
My wife and I retained Mr Blackford’s services for an estate matter. The estate was in Maryland, but we lived in Texas, which greatly hampered our ability to intervene in what was happening. Our case was complex and convoluted. Mr Blackford was persistent in getting to the heart of the matter a...

"William Blackford is an experienced attorney whose participation and comments in Avvo show his commitment to serving clients as well as his level of experience. He is an excellent attorney that I recommend wholeheartedly."
"Bill is a great attorney and counselor at law. He has consistently demonstrated skill and insight beyond his years. In addition to his work in Divorce and Child Custody matters, he has done outstanding work in criminal/traffic and small business matters as well. I am proud to call him my law partner and my friend."
"I have trusted Bill and his law partner Chris multiple times for referrals due to date conflicts, co-defendants, and non-criminal cases, and for brainstorming on cases. Bill has been on the money for brainstorming cases, and on at least two occasions has spent after hours time with me and my clients in doing so. Bill and Chris share my old fashioned view of helping others rise as we rise, including clients and fellow lawyers."
