Exceptional Caring Attorney

I was referred to Bill through a friend who's family used him and were very satisfied with the work he'd done for them. I was looking for a new attorney because the one I'd originally hired did nothing to help me. My injury was getting progressively worse and I was frustrated and angry when I first... met with him. He was very patient and honest from the beginning. He took the time to explain everything and listen to what I had to say. He even asked what I wanted the outcome to be. He was able to get my surgery approved and my issue addressed. He continued to let me know what was happening during the entire process and was extremely responsive to any questions or concerns I had. He also called periodically just to see how I was doing. I am very happy I chose him to work with and the final resolution to my case. Not only is he a great attorney, he is a wonderful person as well!
