William I Shockley's Lawyer Endorsements
"I had the pleasure this year of working on a defense team in federal criminal jury trial with Bill, and I can say simply that he is smart and tenacious. We got a not-guilty verdict! Bill is a fine lawyer who cares about his work and clients."
"Bill is an experienced and highly skilled trial lawyer. We are on a panel of lawyers that compose the best criminal defense attorneys in Middle Tennessee. He provides zealous representation in a controlled and caring manner that produces great results for his clients. He is very well respected by the judiciary and his fellow attorneys and that translates into a great benefit for his clients. I would recommend Bill to anyone seeking criminal defense counsel."
