A wonder attorney!

A few weeks ago a loved one was arrested for doing virtually nothing. I contacted Bill within hours of the arrest. Since this was our first time dealing with anything like this we were all scared. The loved one had been charged with a 3rd degree felony. After hearing my story, Bill told me not to ...worry, easier said than done, and met me at the jail for the loved one's first court date. He explained the process and told me exactly what was going to happen. He then went in to the lock up to speak with my loved one who had no idea I had hired an attorney for them. While every other inmate had to post a bond, Bill got the loved one released without having to post anything! Then a week later, he got the entire matter dismissed. If your in trouble, you can do no better than Bill. And although I hope we never have the need for him again, should trouble rear its head in our direction, Bill will be my first call! .

Great Attorney, Great Person

My experience with Mr. Wallshein was very positive. He was very personable and he took time to understand the case as well as me as a person. Our time to prepare was very short, yet he worked very efficiently, spent extra time with me, and was able to successfully argue our case to a favorable outco...me in front of the judge. I highly recommend having William Wallshein on your side!

Great experience!

Bill was great!! It was such a pleasure working with him. From the first phone call to the last, he was exceptional. Bill is quite easy to talk to and was extremely efficient and responsive. He was able to resolve a sensitive situation quickly which is very much appreciated. I would absolutely recomm...end Bill for any legal issues that may arise.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Wallshein was one of the best attorneys I've been recommended and would definitely recommend him to anyone. He handled my injunction hearing professionally and quickly. He called me on weekends to let me know he was working diligently on my case which made me feel at ease and gave me peace of min...d that someone other than my family/friends had my best interest in mind. Again, I would recommend Mr. Wallshein to anyone.
