Excellent

I have used Bill for over 30 years. During that time he has been attentive to detail, prompt, gives great service, and thorough analysis of the issues. I highly endorse him for wills, trusts, estated planning and business contracts

Expert legal guidance with a kind heart.

William expertly guided me through the estate planning process and turned what I thought would be an arduous process into a pleasant experience. I've already recommended him to several people and would happily do so again.

Estate Planning

Bill was very professional and friendly. He was efficient and organized and easy to reach. The first time I called he answered the phone himself and spent time giving me good background information. I would definitely use him again and refer him to others.

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.
