Represent my son

I hired Mr Stanton to represent my son who was facing several serious traffic convictions. As soon as I called him, he was very quick to respond and answered all my questions. He kept me informed of the status of my son's case and possible outcome which put my worries at ease, we like he has a comm...anding and knowledgeable presence in cout by always working with the prosecutor. Overal, we are very pleased with his knowledge and expertise and that my son got a favorable outcome.

Excellent Lawyer

William did an excellent job representing me for domestic violence charge. He was very thorough and explaining, and answered any questions I had. I felt at ease knowing that he provided me with the best legal advise. We took the case to trial and won. I was found not guilty and am very thankful to ha...ve had William represent me. Very highly recommended.

Will Stanton VII , An Excellent Lawyer

I have had the distinct privilege of having Will handle a speeding ticket that I received going through Cumberland Courthouse in November of last year. I live about an hour from the Courthouse and wanted no part of traveling back and forth to Cumberland to go to Court. I looked on line, searching f...or an attorney, and that was a super move on my part. Will answered the phone, agreed to take my case and that was my second great fortune of the day. Will went to Court for me twice and got my ticket reduced to no charges on my record. I just had to pay Court Costs , fines and his fee. He was worth every penny and then some. Will is a delightful individual, extremely knowledgeable, proficient, and well versed on the Court and how it operates. I am so thrilled to have a clean driving record and I didn't do anything-I let Will handle it all. He's top notch, and i am confident that I came out of this with a clean record because of his expertise. I couldn't be any happier. Will handles other matters beside traffic tickets. I highly recommend if you want to have legal matters result in your favorable outcome, call Will-you won't be disappointed. He's a real asset to the legal system and a real asset to my case.

Got my charges lowered

William was a very helpful lawyer all through my case giving me advice on what to do before my trial and how I can help to try and lower my charge. He was able to get my reckless driving charge down to an improper driving charge and saved me from a heavy fine, license suspension, and jail time. If I ...ever have any issues in Hanover county again I know who I am calling.
