Posted by anonymous | September 30, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Took advantage in time of need and didn't finalize divorce

Would never return calls. Said I would be divorced in 60 days and after 6 months when I hadn't heard anything I hired a different lawyer. Please do your research and don't sign anything without reading his contract.

Effective Results in my Modification

Lawyer Bill was able to help negotiate a binding settlement for my child support modification. I needed someone to help me separate the facts from fiction. He knows the child support laws, and stays updated on any changes. I am happy with the outcome of my case.

Excellent and Professional

Mr. Jones was first consulted about a family law issue and gave excellent advice - definitely worth the consult fee. A couple of years later a divorce attorney was needed and he was at the top of the list. Very professional, understanding, efficient and affordable, he made an unpleasant process very ...tolerable and understandable, taking time to explain each step accordingly. Highly recommended.

Based on my consult, I plan to retain his services.

I received a consult from Mr. Jones. I feel he went above and beyond for just a 1 hour consult. He charges for his consults, and I feel like I received a worthwhile one. You certainly get more attention and information in person. When the need arises, I plan to retain his firm based on the consult.

Was not impressed

I had heard him on the radio before and decided to call his office. Okay, the first problem is when you call his office they won't give you any real info, they keep pushing for you to come in for a meeting. This kind of bugged me and I wasn't sure why they wouldn't give any info to me. I found out th...e reason they don't give you info over the phone is because they want you to come in so that they can push you to sign up as a client with him. I wasn't buying that. He just doesn't seem very genuine and seems to be much more concerned about telling about everything he can do instead of listening. Basically he comes across as a little full of himself. Hey other people may like this type of person but I was really turned off by him.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Bill for approximately 17 years. In my professional dealings with Bill, I have found that he works tirelessly to ensure his clients receive the best possible outcome. I don't know another lawyer that works as hard or as long as Bill does. In addition to his formidable courtroom skills and organization, Bill is on the bleeding edge of melding technology and law. He is three steps ahead of anyone on utilizing technology is the practice of law. If I had a family law matter, either professionally, or privately, Bill is the only lawyer I'd call."
