Excellent attorney with real people skills

I have hired Bill for three separate criminal cases. From the start he struck me as approachable and reassuring. I have watched him work and it is clear that he is well known and respected by other attorneys, prosecutors and judges within the legal community. He is very skilled both in the courtro...om and behind the scenes putting together realistic proposals and agreements between all parties, always in the best interest of his client. Bill comes with all the upsides of a well versed, intelligent and respected attorney with none of the typical downsides. His fee rate was always reasonable and he explained what was happening with patience and clarity. Most of all, I never saw a hint of that "know it all arrogance" that I have seen in other top notch professionals. Like I said, all the upside of hiring the best with none of the drawbacks sometimes associated. Treat yourself and your situation right and get in touch with Bill. At least talk to him first. You will be glad you did. I know I was.
