Juvenile Case

My son was in the wrong, but not as wrong as he was accused. Bill reviewed the facts, watched the videos, went to court more than one time and was able to get what I considered an EXTREMELY fair outcome. I was expecting the worst from this case and got more than the best. Thank you Bill for taking... care of us!!!

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 wi...ll 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.

Social Security

We hired Mr. Underhill for my husband’s Social Security Disability claim, which was not a clear cut case. However, he did an excellent job and the case was won. He is truly the real deal, very knowledgeable, professional, and just an all around class act. We are thankful for his expertise and highly ...recommend him for any legal matter!

Best of the Best

Mr. William Underhill is in the practice of law to genuinely help people. He has gone above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of. I made a bad decision in those with whom I chose to associate, and ended up with a felony... Which, through his skill and personal knowledge, he reduced to a ...misdemeanor! Mr. Underhill did not judge me. He took the time to understand my situation and, every step of the way, advised me towards my benefit. There is no other choice of a lawyer on Robertson County.

Mr. Underhill

Mr. Underhill was very professional, helped keep me calm and guide me in the right direction when I didn’t think things could honestly get any worse. He’s stuck by me since the beginning when it comes to the case, and is a very very good lawyer. Would recommend him to anyone, and everyone!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
