Grateful

Bill Fortino came highly recommended to me by a family member who works in the courthouse. Who better to get advice from than someone who sees lots of attorneys daily, and knows which ones are most successful? I'm so thankful for the referral! Bill was honest, up front, and patient. He put me at ease..., was available when I needed him, and answered all my questions throughout the process. He told me what he thought would happen, so I knew what to expect. Bill was thorough and well prepared when we went to court- much more than the opposing counsel- and it paid off for me. I actually ended up coming out better than what was anticipated, based on my personal circumstances. I credit that victory to the grace of God, and a good attorney! I've been happy to recommend Bill to others who've needed excellent legal counsel. In addition to his top notch professional services, he's a good guy who truly cares about his clients. I feel blessed to have had Bill Fortino on my side.

Expectations Exceeded

My very first impression of Mr. Fortino was that he doesn't get excited about too much and he isn't easily intimidated! He was my second attorney in my treacherous child custody case. The opposing party was highly difficult to deal with. Mr. Fortino gave me a sense of relief that his representatio...n was the best decision. His knowledge of law, professionalism and caring nature exceeded my expectations. Mr. Fortino was always honest with me, his pricing was reasonable and he worked hand in hand with me through the entire process. He put endless effort into my case. Mr. Fortino responded in a timely manner to phone calls and emails. If you are looking for an attorney that cares about your case and takes pride in his work, I highly recommend Mr. Fortino. I am very pleased with the outcome. I will continue to work with him as needed.

Bill Fortino

Bill Fortino came highly recommended to me with good reason. His calm nature helped me in a stress filled divorce case. Bill responded in a timely manner, listened patiently, stuck to the facts of the case, defended me when necessary, and communicated clearly. I am so thankful to have been represe...nted by Bill Fortino and now it is my pleasure to highly recommend him to others.

Ethical and hard working

I went in to this divorce hoping for an ethical and fair lawyer to do what was right for my Ex-wife and me. Bill proved that his ethics were way above what I expected. He worked and returned calls at all times. He was very honest and supportive of my efforts to be fair. All I have ever heard is h...ow terrible and evil divorce attorneys are. In his case, this is NOT true! He tried to do all he could to ensure the Ex was treated fairly. Towards the end things go very tense with the demands and Bill started playing hard when I was unsure what the right response should be. If it weren't for his advocating on my behalf so well, I am sure I would be in a terrible situation. He provided moral support as well. Reminding me when I was down, that I was doing the right thing. Pushing back when I don't have the heart to defend myself. I strongly advise all of my friends to seek his counsel when it is needed. Superior all around!

Superb Family Law Attorney

Mr. Fortino handled my divorce, custody and child support issues. He was very professional throughout my entire case and was always available to me whenever I needed him. He was thorough in explaining the different procedures and aspects of my case, as well as compassionate with my scenario. He is a ...caring man that treats his clients with respect and courtesy. I have told many people what a great lawyer he is and will continue to do so as long as he is in business.
