Life saver!
If it weren't for Mr. Sheslow, I would have lost years of my life instead of months. In every meeting he was understanding, friendly, and a great listener. He worked diligently on my case to ensure my outcome was fair. Even though my case was several years ago, the impact he had on my life was profound and I have kept in touch to thank him even to this day. Thank you!

Three words I would use to describe Will Sheslow: integrity, dedication, and an absolute professional!
With absolute laser focus Will worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome on my behalf and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have hired him to represent me. I was blown away by his integrity, kindness, diligence and his absolutely infectious positive attitude. Will is definitely an expert in his field but what makes him even more fantastic is his excellent communication skills. He offers sound legal advice with no judgement and a dash of humor to help keep you grounded and to remember ‘this too shall pass.’ Will is a remarkable attorney who went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. Thank you Will Sheslow—you’re one of the good guys and I will be forever grateful for all your help!

Easy to work with and professional
Mr. Sherlow was great to work with and never once made me feel unimportant. I never felt like just another client, he made it known I was heard and was transparent about the entire process. Would recommend him again and again.

Very intelligent, entertaining, committed and experienced !
Being the first time having to seek Justice was very emotional and stressful situation to be in. Initially, I called several employment lawyers who were afraid or not confident to go after healthcare facilities. I was referred to William Sheslow from a colleague who returned my call in a timely manner. He listened and discussed my case over the phone with strong experience, knowledge and compassion. He believed me and took my case. Advice to you, follow his direction and be patient. He knows when to be easy, aggressive and put the other side in their place! He is impressive in the court room...Trust me… William Sheslow, Esquire is your man!

Confident with a Great Attitude!
When I met Mr. Sheslow I was an emotional mess. I was in shock and so upset. He promised me that he would fix the mess I was in and that is exactly what he did. He made me feel so much better whenever I started to doubt the process. I appreciate that he made me feel like he really cared. I would definitely refer friends and family to him.

A Force in My Corner
I needed a good attorney for an out of state legal matter instead I got a Great one William Sheslow ! He fought a case that seemed hopeless with persistence and due diligence . Mr. Sheslow got it rectified ! He is patient, kind caring, and attentive. I never had lack of communication, and always felt total support from him. He is the force to be reckoned with that a client should have in their corner.

Deserves more than 5 stars
Mr. Sheslow fought for over a year for me to keep my freedom, thanks to him I can carry one with my life, which was no small feat considering my extensive record and the degree of my initial charge . He was always fast to answer any of my questions at any time he was always there and always straight forward and honorable. I would seriously suggest to anyone in need of legal help to contact Mr. Sheslow.

Best Decision I Ever Made
When I was looking for a lawyer I was stressed and felt defeated. I had never had to worry about hiring a lawyer before and frankly I was terrified. I found Mr. Sheslow and that all changed! They talked me through everything and handled everything efficiently and professionally. Mr. Sheslow and Peter were always there to answer questions and clear up things I didn’t quite understand about the process. They were beyond helpful and patient with me and I am eternally grateful. When my case finished I felt relieved and elated with the outcome. Thank you for being completely awesome, caring and patient (even during the awful times of COVID). Highly highly highly recommend!!!

Diver's License
After my driver's license was revoked, I hired the law firm of Whittle & Melton and Wil Sheslow was assigned to me. He had to fight the Florida Motor Vehicles during the pandemic. During that time he worked relentlessly through the foot-dragging and delays to get my license back. He always kept me up to date as to where the case was going. I would not hesitate to hire him again if needed.

Don't hire anyone else!
We spoke to a different attorney, he said that the state attorney in the county my son's case was in would most likely not drop the charges leaving my son with a felony, possible jail. William Sheslow got his case about 1 week before his court date. He was positive about the case, explained what he was going to do keeping in daily contact and came through with exactly what he promised. The felony turned into a minor traffic ticket, no points, adjudication withheld. I just can't tell you how happy we hired him. Definitely recommend him.

He IS THE LAWYER you want on YOUR SIDE WE WON
From the start of my case he took me seriously. He kept me informed every single step there was NEVER a time I had to call his office to ask where my case stood. He provided me his cell if I EVER had any questions he was available and kind. No matter how many cases he was on and TRIALS he was in I felt like his ONLY client. I know how hard he works to make us feel this way it takes alot out of people but I could never tell he was ALWAYS Sunshine and Rainbows. One thing that blew me away was his memory of my case the small details I NEVER had to remind him. He cares, he is so kind but also so upfront and honest he isnt going to leave you in the dark. William I hope you read this.... there is a reason you have 100% you deserve that. Never in my life Have I met a better Attorney you should really be TRAINING Attorneys you are knowledgeable, professional, kind and A BEAST with winning a CASE!! THE MOST AMAZING COMBINATION

No other Lawyer compares: Will is professional, committed, informative and empathetic.
Will is beyond committed to his clients. If you think your case is un-winnable, or you are too small to fight against the big guys then you need to hire Will Sheslow. Will fought for me like I was his family, he kept me informed of any changes, he persisted until we won. Most importantly, he listened to my concerns, thoughts and then provided counsel. He ensured I was heard, supported and was consistently informed of any updates. Will is quick with any paperwork and the office is spectacularly clean. If you want to win hire Will.

Incredible doesn't begin to describe Will
The circumstances that led to my lawsuit were frustrating; I hope to never have to go through similar again. If it happens though, I'm calling Will. I recommend you do the same. He is experienced and knowledgeable. He knew, and knew about, the key players (judge, opposing counsel, mediators), and knew their mindsets and strategies. He knew the law and all its convoluted angles. He knew how to fight, defend, parry, and riposte. He knew how to be a kind, compassionate human being. And in the end, he knew how to win. He was, hands down, the best option I could have chosen, and I'm blessed to have found him in my time of need. If you find yourself needing a champion, this is your man. Thank you, Will.
