Very Knowledgeable and Honest Attorney

Bill Was amazing to work with and on the Ball. Every Time he said he would call, He did. I would highly recommend Him to anyone dealing with a LTD case. In the end He went above and beyond to get me a settlement that would work for Me, I can’t thank Him enough.

Couldn't be more pleased!

From the initial first phone call to the very end I was treated professionally, honestly, compassionately, and felt like I really mattered. Attorney Parsons listened to my original case details and determined that they could help me with my work comp injury case. Throughout the whole year that I wor...ked with them they kept me updated on what was happening, and I felt did everything necessary, from having me see a true "independent" doctor and physical therapist to get their opinion and assist me in winning my case! I have already recommended them to several people! The entire staff at Attorney Parsons office could not be more highly recommended. His legal assistant was very informative and compassionate, and I felt his team is the best for this newcomer to the legal system.

Wisconsin's best lawyer for employee HR claims

Attorney Parsons represented me in a case against a former employer who tried to get out of paying short-term disability benefits even though I met all of their policy's criteria. He has deep experience in representing employees in HR-related claims against employers, and is very, very good. He kn...ows the law, he knows the system, and knows how the "game" is played. He used smart strategies and presented incredibly well-written arguments on my behalf. Bill is also very personable, intelligent, responsive, approachable, compassionate, and a great communicator. He was truly a pleasure to work with and I felt 100% confident in his leadership throughout our work together. The "justice" system is not always just, but I know that Attorney Parsons recovered the best settlement possible in my situation. I recommend him without hesitation.

This is the Attorney for you. !!

I would like to commend Atty William E Parsons and the Law Firm of Hawks Quindel, for fighting and reinstatement of my benefits, that my work Insurance company cancelled on me. Mr Parsons, or Bill fought long and hard for my benefits, He always answered my questions in a matter of minutes, no matter ...what day they were on , even weekends. He also allowed a 3rd party conference call, when he had news for me, I look forward to seeing his success with this firm and would highly recommend him at your attorney.. He get the job done.

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.
