Review Bill Stemberger

Honest and Reliable

Posted by

What more could you ask of a lawyer! From the first free consult to the last communication from his office, they were all nothing but friendly, welcoming and made you feel at ease. Mr. Stemberger explained everything and made me feel that he was definitely on my side.

Wrongful Death

Posted by

Our son was hit by a truck while crossing the road and was killed. We hired Mr. Stemberger to represent our son's young daughter. This was a very complicated case to determine fault and took a couple of years to resolve. Mr. Stemberger explained to us what he would need to do and kept us updated throughout the process. We had numerous meetings with him. He is very knowledgeable about the law and worked tirelessly on our case. He negotiated a settlement with the insurance companies and our granddaughter received compensation from the insurance companies.

Amazing Lawyer

Posted by

I recently hired Mr. Stemberger to represent my son in some criminal charges. My son who had never been in trouble before was looking a going to prison but Mr. Stemberger was not taking that as finial. He fought hard for my son and ended up getting him probation. I will forever be thankful for what he has done for my family and I don't know what we would have done without his help and knowledge of the criminal justice system. I hope that I never need a lawyer again and that my son has learned his lesson but if I do there is no other person that I would choose or trust with my families future then Mr. Stemberger and his team. Thank you again and may God bless you and always keep you safe.

You Get What You Pay For And More!

Bill Stemberger went above and beyond to handle two separate court cases for me at a reasonable price. He was able to get me everything I asked for and I was able to plea out both cases with no issues. If you want the best results hire the best attorney. He came highly recommended to me by my former landlords and I am here to continue to recommend him for someone else. He always took my call or returned it promptly. He answered all of my emails quickly and most importantly he took the time to explain my case to me in great detail and kept me updated. Thank You Bill! Michael Hurles

Excellent Results

Posted by

I am so glad that I was referred to Mr. Bill Stemberger when I decided to look for a lawyer to help me with my auto accident settlement. I had tried for some time to handle things on my own with the auto insurance company, my health insurance company, and the numerous medical providers and facilities/services involved. I was nearing the statute of limitations deadline, but Mr. Stemberger was able to get a substantial settlement in this very quick turnaround time. I also gained peace of mind from having his professional, expert assistance. Throughout the process, he and his office staff were very efficient and pleasant to work with.

Outstanding Attorney

Posted by

A friend recommended William Stemberger for my accident case. Although it was a long and bumpy road, I am so glad we stuck it out with him. After several years and 2 operations stemming from the accident, he got us a settlement closer to the results for which we were hoping. I would highly recommend Mr. Stemberger. Thank you, Bill, for all your hard work and persistence. It was a pleasure having you as my attorney.

Resently hired Mr. Stemberger..Court date within 3 weeks

Posted by

Being that my case has not been before the Judge yet and I have no idea what the outcome will be at this point, I hired Mr. Stemberger due to excellent recommendations from SEVERAL of his prior clients. With very little time to prepare my case, he's earned my trust by the time he's taken to assure me that he will present my case to the court to the best of his ability and his experience to see that I receive the most fair and acceptable outcome possible. He has been available to answer any and all questions that I've asked...which has convinced me that I've made the best choice by choosing an Attorney willing to work for me and to fight for justice in my best interest which will determine my future.
