Bill Fortino is one of the top lawyers in South Carolina.

Bill was referred to me as my attorney in my divorce from another attorney friend. Bill handled my case professionally and exceeded my expectations. Bill clearly laid out an excellent plan in the beginning with a very specific outcome, and kept me very well informed and updated along the way. As a re...sult, Bill achieved that plan which was in my favor. I highly recommend Bill Fortino.

Child Support

I retained Bill after my ex-wife of 5 years filed a somewhat frivolous case against me. Bill was very attentive to my situation and he knew exactly what was needed to get the fair results I wanted. Throughout the process, Bill negotiated and protected my interests to get to the resolution as it sho...uld be. I am actually now in a better place than I was with my original Divorce Agreement. Bill worked hard to help me get more time with my children and to have the amount I paid for child support adjusted fairly. I would recommend Bill as someone that understands what is fair and works hard to get a that result.

My Book #1 Attorney

Bill Fortino was recommended to me by another attorney I had used in the past. I first saw Bill in action with my daughter who was in a bad situation. Bill was not only professional, but cared for her well being and still does. Secondly, eight months later I needed him for a divorce for myself. I c...an't express the calmness he gave me when I spoke with him. Although we know he has plenty more other cases, I never felt he was rushing me. He's timely, reasonably cost and amazing at what he does. He's good in the courtroom and directs you in the law, not his thoughts. And beyond Bill, his staff is amazing as well. They are there to answer anything they can and very responsive via email, which I preferred. I hope this review helps Bill in all sorts of ways, he's the best in my book! Thank you to Moore and Taylor and especially Bill!

Exceptional Divorce Attorney

A friend of mine referred me to the Moore Taylor Law Firm at a critical time in my life. I was set up to work with Bill Fortino as my attorney in my divorce. I was scared for my future and the future of my children. Bill truly listened, was very empathetic, thorough, resourceful, and put me at eas...e. He is the type of attorney that really cares about his clients and goes the extra mile. Bill was quick to respond to my emails, voice messages, and texts. He even made himself available to me on his off hours. Bill is very knowledgeable, well prepared, does his research, and plans for the worst case scenario. Words can't express what it meant to me to have someone like him on my side and truly care about my children and I and not just the bottom line. Bill went the extra mile for me. I couldn't be happier with my outcome and the exceptional way he represented me. I would highly recommend him.

Very Proficient and Outstanding Child Custody Attorney

For the last one and a half years, I have had the pleasure of having Mr. Fortino as my attorney. He is a true advocate to represent you legally in the court. During my treacherous plight through Family Court in California and South Carolina, I had to fight for custody, after a divorce, for my son. F...ortunately, I won the case in California for partial custody and a judgment was rendered. Ultimately, I moved to South Carolina and what appeared to be a simple transfer case transformed into a complex legal finagle. Various attorneys attempted to sort through the legalities of my case; however, when Attorney Bill Fortino agreed to represent me through my legal case, it was apparent that his professionalism and dedication would lend itself positive results for me. Not only was he very diligent and persistent, he continuously kept me informed on my case and dedicated many endless hours to ensuring positive results. Mr. Fortino exceeded my expectations by winning a judgement to include several things, other attorneys had told me were far fetched. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight endlessly for you and not charge an astronomical fee, I highly recommend Attorney Fortino.
