I have known Bill Mansell personally and professionaly for over 22 years. Bill is compassionate and enthusiastic when it comes to representing clients in each of his specialty areas - criminal defense, personal injury, family, etc. His level of expertise and professionalism has been witnessed and appreciated by fellow attorneys, judges, and clients. I have seen Bill "in action" and give him the strongest possible endorsement.

I've know Bill since he was an assistant district attorney in Wausau. During that time he was knowledgeable, skilled, and most importantly, fair, being able to see my position, even if he didn't always agree with it. I was pleased to see him leave the Dark Side, and become a defense attorney, where he has honed and sharpened those skills to fight for his clients in negotiations and in court. He also has been willing to support his fellow defense counsel and to combat erosion of Constitutional rights meant to protect our clients. I heartily endorse him.
