Exceptional Attorney
Mr. Yanger has helped me with many diverse items I have brought to him. Even if he has referred me on for specialized assistance, he continued to stay with me for the duration of the process. He provides a personal interest that is above and beyond any I have received across all industries. I cannot say enough about Mr. Yanger.

Review of William Lamar Yanger
Bill is representing me, my partner, and our company against a very aggressive adversary. He is calm, cool, collective and knowledgeable and charges very fairly. I would recommend Bill.
Posted by Sam | May 31, 2014
Don't even think twice about hiring Bill Yanger.
As a small business owner, I've needed legal counsel from time to time over the last 20 years. Having worked with a few other "competent" attorneys in the past, I can truly say Bill is the first attorney whose expertise, professionalism, and great sense of humor always put me "at ease". Bill has successfully guided me & my business through complex contracts, plaintiff litigation & ultimately the sale of my company. He is honest, aggressive, knowledgeable and always seems to put a smile on your face, even in tense situations. I am proud to call Bill Yanger "my attorney".

Bill Yanger reviewed my distributor contract
Mr Yanger gave me a thorough and objective review of a 12 page legal distributor contract. I didn't really like everything he had to say, but I needed to hear it before I decided whether to sign the contract.

The best attorney you will ever find
Bill is the kind of lawyer that everyone wishes they had on their side... He always goes out of his way to understand each situation and offers his opinions based on, not only legal options, but on real life circumstances. Bill just seems to always know the right things to do. I had one situation come up while I was traveling on business. At first, I tried to handle it myself while trying to pay attention to my main purpose for traveling. Finally, after feeling very stressed, I reached out to Bill for help with the situation. In less than an hour he had everything well in hand and removed all of my stress.

Stay Away from this guy he is Bipolar
This Attorney might be smart but has been off his game for years, After reading great reviews a Family member decided to use him. He would be the nicest guy then snap. He would comment on others after smiling to them and then talking about the same people in a negative way. His staff at the time appeared afraid of him. He was not upfront nor consistent with his billings. His focus was definitely on how much he could bill each month and drained my Family member into the ground. Worse he left them Hanging with missed Deadlines and errors in his filings and representation. I was surprised when he was running for a Judge as this is not the kind of person you want on the bench. I think more people are afraid to post bad but after I saw the recent review I couldn't hold back any longer. This has nothing to do with the South American case below and was some years back.

Worst
Long story short. I live in Central America and had an issue with a company out of Tampa. I was very clear with Billy that I would not be able to leave here to go to court. Billy made it very clear that I would never have to see the inside of a court room. Also was told that I was looking between $15-20k max in fees. Well after 4 years of milking me to the sum of +$44k he said that I would have to come to Tampa after all. Going to the States is not a possibility for me and he knew that. As long as I was sending $6k retainers. Avoid at all cost. He won't even return a phone call.
