Multiple legal representations
William R Underhill is a trustworthy, excellent attorney! I had almost given up on my social security disability claim. But, he successfully represented me, and I received my settlement. I would recommend that you talk Mr. Underhill before filing for a social security disability claim, your life will be less stressful. He also prepared a medical power of attorney, and updated my will. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal advice and representation.

Vehicle accident
Mr. Underhill is a very professional, knowledgeable and caring attorney. We hired Mr Underhill after my wife was involved in a car accidnet. He kept both of us informed throughout the whole process and handled everything for us. It was a huge relief knowing that he was taking care of everything and all I had to worry about was helping my wife recover from her injuries. we have recommended him to some of our friends, and would definitely use him again.

Awesome Sauce
Mr. William Underhill was awesome in a time of complete stress and chaos. He explained everything in a way we could understand and was very patient and empathic but more importantly extremely relatable. He made me feel so confident walking into a courtroom. I will never forget it and will use him if there is ever a need in the future!

AWESOME LAWYER
I went in to meet with Mr. Underhill on a Thursday for a case that I had to appear in on the following Tuesday. I explained to Mr. Underhill what was goin on and he explained to me what he could do. I hired him and he did just what he said he would do. I did not even have to attend the court day. Mr. Underhill took care of the issue and the case is resolved and closed. Thank you Mr. Underhill.

GREAT ATTORNEY!
2 years ago, I was stopped in Robertson county and was charged with DUI, driving on revoked and no insurance. I contacted Mr. Underhill and told him about the incident and he took on my case. Today 4/26/22 All charges were dropped due to an illegal stop. Mr. Underhill is down to earth and very thorough. Hopefully I won't have to use him again but I wouldn't hesitate if I do. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Underhill!!

Best lawyer experience
We contacted Mr. Underhill an set up a consultation within a week. After hiring him he went to our first court date for us to plead not guilty. Today we had our court date an he got all of our charges dropped and expunged for no extra fees. Mr. Underhill gave us the best possible lawyer experience. We highly recommend him an if anything happens in the future I will definitely hire him again. Also, very affordable.

Class A Attorney
Words cannot express the gratitude my family owes to this class A attorney. Mr. Underhill took on a very stressful case and was in my son's corner from start to finish. He was always available for any question and never left us in the dark. We owe him so much. My son now has his normal life back.

Highly recommended
Mr. Underhill was a pleasure to work with. He was able to help guide me through some legal proceedings with skill and ease. He was both a consummate professional and also easy to talk to, as well. When I needed to contact him, I was able to easily reach him, and he got back to me promptly and with solid answers. His office staff was also very friendly and courteous, as well. He also clearly knows the Springfield area very well. If I ever needed legal assistance in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to retain Mr. Underhill again. Furthermore, I would recommend him to anyone that needs legal assistance in his areas of expertise. Ultimately, you will be happy that you worked with him.

I knew I was in excellent hands and would recommend him to family and friends. Will definantly use him again if the need arises.

Bill Underhill has our back
Our son got himself into some legal trouble. Without Bill Underhill’s representation he most definitely would have spent some time in jail and had a criminal record. I knew Bill would do his very best for our son and he did. He got the absolute best outcome we could have hoped for. No jail time and no criminal record as long as he stays out of trouble. We are so greatful and blessed to have an excellent friend and attorney we know we can count on. Bill Underhill has got our back.

criminal case
We hired Mr. Underhill last minute for my husband and he took care of getting my husband through his case. If it hadn't of been for him things would have turned out nasty with my husbands case. Mr. Underhill took the time to talk with us, get us through a hard situation and still be in contact with us after the case was done. I know my husbands case was in good hands and I trusted Mr. Underhill. Highly Highly recommend him and will always go back to use him again if we ever have to hire a lawyer again. Thank you Mr. Underhill for everything and God Bless You.

"Mr. Underhill is not only a very effective and highly skilled attorney, but his compassion for others and unwavering integrity make it a privelege and an honor to work with him on a case. He treats others with respect, even if they may not be on his side...He is also an excellent mentor, and is always willing to help out other attorneys. I would highly recommend him for any criminal law or family law matters in the Robertson County area."
