Bill Bligh may or may not be your guy

Just a guy in a suit who pushes paper. He doesn't have much of a backbone. If you need someone to fight for you, look elsewhere. He takes on too many cases and shows up as an empty shell for yours.

Replied last October 20, 2025

Sometimes the legal process itself falls short of a client’s expectation. In your case, you did not get the outcome you wanted, but it was not because I did not fight for you. We had multiple hearings, but unfortunately, the judge did not agree with our position. I take pride in fighting for my clients and seeking the best possible resolution – no matter what their case entails. I am sorry that was not your perception of my representation. Please contact the office if you would like to discuss this further.

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.
