Fellow Attorney

Bill is a highly experienced and very effective lawyer. I had the pleasure of working with Bill on a very serious federal matter, and his assistance and insight were invaluable. Bill is well versed in multiple areas of the law, and a great choice if you're looking for an attorney.

William was hired to defend my son on a criminal charge. William was very professional and showed concern for my son. We had several consultations at the office,and was giving all the options of the case and spoke the truth on what the out come of the case would involve. I was totally satisfied in th...e work that was put in and also the results we achieved from the case. I would be most confident to hire him in any other affairs that would present themselves in the future

"I endorse this lawyer (and I have not endorsed any other lawyer on Avvo). I have been practicing law (divorce and commerial litigation) in Florida for 25+ years. I do not practice criminal law. Whenever any of my clients run afoul of the law, I contact Bill immediately. He is my go-to guy to get my clients out of their criminal bind. I fully trust Bill's judgment and criminal expertise. I would not use anyone else."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
