Great Results

Our son was incarcerated, we did not feel that the first attorney did anything for us. We received a letter in the mail after the original case was closed from the office of Attorney William Claude Coon, we contacted Attorney Coon explained our situation and the sentencing our son received. Attorney... William Claude Coon listened and agreed to take the case. He researched the case files, every detail, communicated with us (Parents) traveled to the prison met with our son. Within 18 months our son was released from prison. The original sentence was 54 years, thanks to Attorney Coon the sentence was reduced to 42 months. Attorney Coon was very successful in his task, great communication skills, great staff, we thank the Lord for Attorney Coon.

Knowledgeable and Professional

We found ourselves in need of an attorney and during our consultation he was able to answer all our questions and explain the procedures that came with the charges. Some were very serious. He was able to get my son through with no jail time and was even able to get the fines reduced. He was quick to ...return your phone calls which means a lot when you're stressing over what could happen. I was very pleased with Mr. Coon's service all the way around.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
