Trustworthy and Honest

William Starks represented me in two different family law situations, and was there for me from beginning to end. His support, knowledge of the law, his honesty and trustworthiness made me feel very secure through everything. I have moved out of the Columbus area, but will still use Mr. Stark in the ...future if I need representation or law advice. I trust him.

Very helpful.

Mr. Starks was very helpful in defending me a couple years ago when my ex charged me falsely with domestic violence. He was able to get the charges dismissed with prejudice. I will be using Mr Starks anytime I need a lawyer.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I referred a client to William on a time sensitive matter. He jumped right on it and was able to resolve the situation saving the client a court appearance and ultimately getting the charges dismissed. His knowledge of the court and personnel was very impressive and I wouldn't hesitate to send future clients his way."

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.
