Review William Sheslow

He IS THE LAWYER you want on YOUR SIDE WE WON

Posted by

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

Posted by

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.

Defies The Stereotype

Posted by

I think attorneys are often viewed as only being in it for the money. Will clearly does not fit that stereotype. While the opportunity to drag this case out by way of actual litigation existed (thereby putting more money in the pockets of the law firm), Will was genuinely interested in the easiest and fastest way to get me the justice we both felt I deserved. From the beginning, he showed sincere care that I had been taken advantage of and confidently walked me through what may or may not happen - realistic yet positive. As the case progressed, it became more and more obvious that his guidance was wise to follow, and the results found me very glad I did. In relatively short order, I was compensated and gratified to have been able to put all my concerns in Will's hands. He delivered the best possible outcome, all things considered, and I would happily recommend him to others in my situation.

Amazing

Posted by

As I was coming to an ending point around my case, I was nervous about going through the final steps and not only did Will make me feel comfortable with the rest of the process but he assured me he would be there for me no matter the outcome. He spent around 3 hours on the phone with me helping me go through the motions and giving me the reassurance I need, he made me feel like I wasn’t alone and what happened wasn’t a bad thing to talk about. By far the best lawyer I talked too throughout my experience with his firm, very caring and understanding, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. He showed me it’s okay to stand up for myself and it gave me hope that my daughter won’t have to go through the things I went through because there are people like him willing to help and who genuinely care about our well being.

Kasey Cadavieco, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 14, 2018
Relationship: Co-worker

I endorse this lawyer. Will and I met when I was a prosecutor, and he was probably one of the most zealous advocates for his clients that I had met. Now we work together and I have a first-hand, front-row, day-to-day view of how he works so incredibly hard to make sure he achieves the absolute best result for his clients. He leaves no question unanswered and no stone unturned. He is not afraid to take risks or face challenges if it will be sure to benefit his clients. He is an excellent criminal defense attorney, and definitely a person you want on your side.

If you need a criminal defense attorney who will fight for you at every hearing, every motion, and every moment of trial -- you need Mr. Sheslow on your case. He is always willing to push the envelope to get his client's desired resolution, and I have never seen him back down when facing an overzealous prosecutor or an unfair judge. In short, he is THE lawyer you want handling your criminal case(s).
