Criminal defense lawyer | Apr 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. William is a highly effective attorney for whom I have known for over 6 years and have the greatest respect. He is intelligent, personable, and cares very deeply about his clients and his work ethics. I have consulted on cases, and referred potential clients to him in the past, and would not hesitate to refer more in the future. In giving William an excellent rating, it's not high enough for his professionalism. He is up front with his opinion and being realistic in what you might expect. I cannot recommend William highly enough, I have given his office permission to release my contact information if you'd like to verify this review, please refer to Allan F. Baily, Esquire"

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.
