Brilliant Attorney

My husband Gary Hoskins and I had a very difficult case involving our granddaughter and TPR. It is not easy for grandparents to win a case involving TPR and children. Grandparents do not have any rights to their grandchild in the state of Florida. We went through the most difficult and extremely se...rious battle and I thank God to Bill Hess who fought for our grandchild as if it were his own. When choosing Bill Hess, we had spoken with several ( 7) other attorneys that handle these types of cases and every single one of them gave me the SAME EXACT info and informed us of our rights and what they could do in court for us, which was actually not much. We were given Bill Hess's name by someone who knew him and watched him in court..they told me, if...IFFFF YOU WANT TO WIN, YOU MUST GET  WILLIAM HESS! He knows the LAW like NO OTHER ATTORNEY OK! everything we were told by all 7 attorneys prior to him was VERY WRONG  and, in 2 weeks Bill Hess had us a party to the case( which all 7 attorneys told us was impossible by the way) and he ran the case and court room! He saved a 4 year olds LIFE! I'll be honest with you...Bill Hess is pure integrity and he pulls no punches! He never gave us false hope..and we were doing well in our 3 day trial and still...he gave me a 51% chance to win! I couldnt even get 52% from him after a great day in court and he said, "we had a great day today in court" He will not tell you you're going to win! But lol lol lol HESS DOESN'T LIKE TO LOSE AND THOSE WORDS SAID IT ALL TO MY HUSBAND AND I..WE HIRED HIM AT THAT MOMENT! I HAVE NO WORDS BUT TEARS OF GRATITUDE AND..THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I'll go further..we won in the lower courts but right after we won...We went straight to appeal! This took close to a year but once again, Bill Hess won that too! I'll go one step further,  this attorney not only knows the law but knows exactly  who and what he is dealing with ...every word he said was going to happen....DID! He is the most amazing attorney  I have met since my own dad who passed 25 years ago. If you have the most difficult case... IF YOU HAVE ANY CHANCE TO WIN...YOU MUST HAVE BILL HESS. I CAN'T GUARANTEE YOU WILL WIN BUT I CAN FOR SURE SAY... YOU HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING  WITHOUT HIM! THANK YOU BILL FOR THIS ALL, THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR LITTLE ONES LIFE AND MARYANN...WHO IS BILLS RIGHT HAND AS SHE DOES SO MUCH IN THAT OFFICE AND IT RUNS BECAUSE OF HER.. THANK YOU MARYANN FOR YOUR HEART AND ALL YOU DID TO HELP. A.H, A.H AND GARY
