A lawyer with a servant's heart

As a lawyer myself (and with an understanding of one's options among family law lawyers), I can't recommend Bill more highly. As a counselor, he offered sound, pragmatic & knowledgeable advice and guided me through a difficult time with even-handed compassion and incite. As my advocate, he knew whe...n to push, when to stand firm and when to back off. It was accomplished with efficiency, without unnecessarily complicating or prolonging the process and most importantly, in a way that left me feeling okay. In the inherently emotional arena of family law, I tell others, including my own clients, that you want Bill by your side.

Avvo Rating

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.
