Excellent experience.

Mr. Hougaboom handled a non-payment case for us. He was thorough, knowledgeable, tenacious and kept us informed of our case at every step. Unfortunately, the company was taken over by their bank and our case was thrown out because we were not a secured debtor......but he did an excellent job represen...ting us and I would not hesitate to use his advice or hire him for any other legal issues we may need resolved in the future.

professional with personal interest

Mr. Hougaboom has went above and beyond and I feel very comfortable with him. He has handled a couple of legal issues for me promptly and with perfect results. Now with any legal case, any lawyer worth their salt will tell you it's never a sure thing. But I know full well going into any courtroom wit...h his representation, I am in good hands. He isn't a high priced attorney (which I have also had in the past!) But he has gotten me better results than I would've inagined. He is very well versed in what he does and has a simple passion for it that it's obvious this man found his calling. I highly recommend William Hougaboom over any other attorney I have had! P.S. I am a single man with custody of all 4 of my kids! Thanks to him and his dilligence.

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.
