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.
