Professionalism with a Heart

Mr. Factor and his staff worked tirelessly and sacrificially to help our non-profit navigate the mires of legal proceedings of fraud against the organization and subsequently, bankruptcy. Throughout the years of representation, Mr. Factor has shown time and time again sensitivity and commitment to th...e cause and mission of the organization, while juggling all the legalities in our complex case. Our case is dismissed with the Corporation intact, albeit a little shaken.

Outstanding Law Firm

The best decision we ever made was retaining the Law Firm of William Factor to represent us in a very complicated Ch. 11 Bankruptcy Reorganization. He was with us every step of the way. His courtesy and consideration and timely and thoughtful responses to our questions were remarkable. He has a brill...iant legal mind for analysis and always provided excellent legal advice and alternative choices where appropriate. Handling an unrelated matter, we were extremely impressed with his general litigation staff. The result was excellent. Highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
