EXPERT IN MANY AREAS OF LAW
I have hired Attorney Sulton for many situations and he has had achieved a positive outcome in all of my cases! He goes above and beyond in the Attorney Client relationship. His commitment and communication is second to none! He is a very hard working Attorney and will not hesitate to take a case through thorough investigation and trial if that is the avenue necessary to protect his client's rights and fight for justice. For this Attorney's combined knowledge and experience his fees are reasonable and well deserved. He is very personable and truly cares about his clients.

Very Professional and Helpful Lawyer
I got to meet Attorney Sulton with Lynn Laufenberg for a multi vehicle collision accident last February where I was rear ended and three others by the same offender. His office and staff have been polite, professional and pleasant. When the medical bills that I did not cause started piling up his office and paralegal Jennifer, helped out tremendously so we did not go to collections. William works well with his colleagues and clients with a true dedication to the law on an individual and collaborative level. I enjoyed hearing about his past experiences and he is very intelligent and knows his craft. I would highly recommend this lawyer or anyone at his firm for legal help.

Attorney Sulton, Simple Superb!
Attorney Sulton, won two cases of ours and WON big time! with flying colors. Attorney Sulton Knowledge of Law and life is powerful, it's almost intoxicating!. Attorney Sulton, have the skills to blend with the 21st century alchemy proper Law of Courts. In the New Laws, the only unforgivable sin is ignorance. The only unforgivable sin is assuming when you can ask Attorney Sulton. The only unforgivable sin is guessing when you can just call and test Attorney Sulton Knowledge of Law to handle your case. Thanks Gratefully!

Mr Sulton is the best that I've came across. He's willing to listen, he's prompt with getting back to me on a timely basis, I'm hoping he will represent me in my tough situation and we can get results with my home owner contractor situation. Highly Recommend Mr. Sulton.

Difficult Case with Great Outcome
William is an exceptional, well-rounded attorney who is not afraid to take a case to trial. I had a very difficult and stressful case that involved several parties. From the time that I reached out to Attorney William Sulton, he remained in constant communication with me, listened to me, showed compassion and explained everything in great detail. When it came time for my trial, William was a bulldog and never once let up. We ended up winning my trial and I know I could not have done that without William. I strongly recommend Attorney William Sulton.

A Great Talent With a Great Future
Because of his impressive academic honors, you know that Mr. Sulton has a superior intellect. He has a terrific knowledge of both the letter and spirit of state and federal laws. Mr. Sulton also possesses the gift of being able to solve the specific--and often complex--problems that flawed clients bring to his door. He creates an instant bond with his clients and his high level of performance encourages them to praise Peterson, Johnson & Murray to all the people they meet. You hired an exceptional attorney when you hired Mr. Sulton. I believe he will add greatly to the success of your law firm in the future. Mr. Sulton has the gift of being able to transcend; that is a rare gift.

The best lawyer in Wisconsin
I have recommended this attorney to several people and he has been successful in achieving the wanted outcome in every case. He is now working on an employment case for me. If i call he is always available even if he has to get back to me on his personal time. I have never encountered an attorney that was this attentive and helpful to his clients. William even makes sure that I understand the laws as they are written.

Terrible
Hired attorney Sulton for my case involving a hands down violation off multiple constitutional rights on videotape. Attorney Sulton was a waste. Multiple times he blew me off he was “out of town “. Did not explain things. Lack of communication. Spent thousands on him then after a year of him not doing anything with my case I finally got him to answer me and now my case price went from being not 10grand but now he wanted 50grand. He is an utter disgrace to law. I was completely disgusted how he treated me and handled my case. Representing me for a year spent thousands and he did absolutely Nothing but waste my time and money and mentally messed with my head in The Worst Time of my life. When I was in a situation I never would have thought I would be in. This attorney failed. He added to me mental anguishment. I put my trust and livelihood into this mans hands and completely failed.
