Ms

After contacting many attorneys who told me that I did not have a case, I finally came across Bill who took the time to listen and understand my issues. He reassured me and fought for me and we one. Custody issues are awful and can break you, but Bill helped me to keep going when I thought I had n...othing left. If you are considering an attorney in his field, take some time to meet with him.

Great attorney!!!

William knows the law and he is good at what he does. He is a attorney that is out for the children and also to give dads a fighting chance to be in there children’s lives. He helped me get joint legal and joint physical custody of my two children. William is very direct and to the point and he gets... the job done. I would recommend him to anyone.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Bill did a case for us about 12 years ago when my husband went for full costody of his 13 year old son. We had tried 2 different times with 2 different attornies but got no where. We hired Bill and ended up with full costody and she lost allot of her time. Then last year our 15 year old son came... to us telling us his ex girlfriend was pregnant. First phone call was to Bill way before the baby was even born to let us know our sons rights and that he would be filing for full custody after we get the results of the DNA test that the baby is his. Sure enough the baby was my sons so we started process within weeks after birth. We gathered allot of info for Bill about the mother and he knew just what to do with it. CPS was involved but did nothing so it was all in Bills hands. Bill told us this was his first minor that he had ever represented in a custody case but that didn't worry us because he did such a great job for us in the past. Bill went to work and looked up whatever he had to, to makesure he knew everything about minors and custody. Well it took about 9 months but the decision was finally made and Bill did it once again. Our son won FULL physical custody of his son. I highly recommend Bill if your looking for a great attorney

Extremely Happy

I have been a client of William Reisdorf for the past 3 and a half years. I have nothing but great things to say about him. His knowledge and experience is unsurpassed, especially if you are a divorced father in a legal world where the deck is already stacked against you. While I did not hire him ...for my initial divorce proceedings, as I handled those on my own without an attorney, I did retain him for a number of other issues after the fact concerning custody of my two children. He has so much experience in both Macomb and Oakland county (and probably other counties) and has been a tremendous help in my situation. With his assistance, I was able to get 50/50 physical custody of my two children (which is virtually unheard of). I was also able to get a SUBSTANTIAL reduction in my child support to reflect this. He will give it to you straight, set realistic expectations and not beat around the bush or build your hopes up with unachievable promises. His rates are very good in my opinion and for the money, there is no one better. I have recommended him to co-workers and even my own brother. If you are going through a divorce, or are seeking a change in custody / child support, I would definatly meet with him and see what he has to say. My experience has been nothing but favorable. The only thing I would say that needs a little work is response time. He can get overwhelmed and take some time to get back to you. He does not have a paralegal to my knowledge and I think he could benefit from one. All in all though, he is a fantastic lawyer, A+ all the way!

Finally!

After years of losing with more general type attornies (being they practice broad spectrum), I chose to contact Mr. Reisdorf seeing he specializes in mostly in family law espcecially concerning father's rights (he represents females as well). He was the only attorney that openly gives out his cell ph...one number for emergencies. He tackled my case head on and helped me (as a male and a member of the active duty Army) win custody of my son and a moderate decrease of my child support! He is very negotiable on price especially if you pay up front. My only complaint is that like most attornies, he gets extremely busy and may forget a detail or two about your case since he seems bogged down in a lot of the administrative portions of his job. I think he needs a paralegal to help him. But that may be why his prices are competitive.
