Fred and I have had mutual clients that I have referred to him for work with IDFPR and all of them have been enthusiastic as to his professionalism and dedication. I have been honored to present with Fred on Continuing Legal Education presentations and I know his command of his field is second to no...ne. I recommend Fred for all work needed when your professional license is on the line.

I previously had the opportunity to work with Williams & Nickl, and their focused practice makes them the best firm to defend doctors, dentists, nurses and other licensed professionals before the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Fred’s deep understanding of licensing regu...lations and expertise on IDFPR procedure makes him an ideal counselor, and I would recommend Fred to anyone having a licensing issue with the IDFPR

I have known Fred for more than 10 years. He is a highly intelligent, diligent attorney. His work before the IDFPR has been consistently outstanding. Any person retaining Fred's services will soon learn he is in very capable hands. Fred's experience and successes before that agency makes him my "No. ...1 go-to guy" when I have questions about IDFPR procedures and when I have clients who need more specialized care than I can afford to give them. I recommend Fred without any hesitation to anybody having regulatory issues before the IDFPR.

I wholeheartedly and without reservation endorse Mr. Nickl. My practice is criminal law and a number of my defendant's have licensing issues as a result of those charges. I have made referrals to Mr. Nickl with excellent results. He has also been helpful to me in giving me information as to the effec...ts of a conviction or charge. If anybody has a situation involving their professional licensing or another matter before IDPR, I immediately refer them to him. Do not try and do this yourself.

Ed and Fred are outstanding and I would recommend them without reservation for your representation before the IDFPR. In my particular case they dug me out of a hole that my prior attorney managed to get me in by claiming that he was experienced in such matters when he was not. My previous attorney sp...ent over a year and soaked my medical malpractice for over $30,000 before acknowledging that he was in over his head. Please learn from my mistake and retain Fred initially. It was clear to me that the Prosecutor for the IDFPR had no respect for my previous attorney which is certainly not the case with Fred and Ed. They spent an incredible amount of time initially, at no charge, figuring out fact from fiction. To say that they are aggressive, professional and understanding would be an understatement. Their billing is extremely ethical and almost a pleasure to look at in the sense that you realize in a real way how much they do and how efficient they are. They work extremely well together, bounce ideas off each other and will never double bill you for such. In essence you get two hard-working very thorough attorneys for the price of one. They will prevail. Again I recommend them without reservation. Surgeon, Peoria
