Wonderful Lawyer

It has been a pleasure to work with Bill, I have hired him for many deals and have always had a wonderful experience. Bill is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and always quick to respond to questions and concerns.

Business and estate

I've had almost two decades of outstanding legal relations with Bill at his previous firm and the current one. He has worked on my estate and my business. His expertise with contracts has helped me out of some tough situations. I'm confident in his opinions and recommendations. Although I may not agr...ee with nor accept all of them he helps me to assess many alternatives to possible outcomes. A couple of examples of this was his drafting of the documents for a company purchase over a decade ago and his consul on renting of my building.

Made what we believed to be a daunting task easy

My wife and I had postponed creating wills and trusts for years, as were unsure of the process and felt overwhelmed. Meeting Bill and having him involved on our estate planning made the process easy. His experience is always on display, and he was always able to offer great insight and examples any t...ime we had a question. Bill is incredibly patient and calm. He made sure that we understood what we were doing, and we never felt rushed to make a decision. Even more, Bill was delightful any time we needed to ask him to explain something multiple times. If you are reading this and are delaying your own estate planning, I strongly recommend you contact Bill and get started.

Outstanding legal services with a Human Touch

When putting together a Will there is a mixture of practical purpose and nervous anticipation of what questions we may have to answer in order to put a quality document together. William Levy made the entire process meaningful. My husband and I came away with a secure understanding of the creation o...f one of the most important documents that we have ever created. His knowledge and patience appreciated. Outstanding, caring legal service!

Great working with Bill on revocable trusts

Bill is very knowledgeable. He understands what you do need and what you don't need. One of the traits I really appreciate about Bill is his ability to break it down in layman's terms, so I really have an understanding of what we are doing. He helped me and other family members of mine set up revo...cable trusts. I highly recommend him.

  • 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.
