Absolutely the Best

I was referred to Will and could not be happier. I've dealt with lawyers for 40 years in business, but this was my first family law situation and Will was outstanding. Will is an amazingly good legal mind but also a great person. Our family law case was not a common situation, but Will handled everyt...hing extremely well. HIs legal competency is unquestionable, and his understanding of people and the related dynamics is exemplary. Will does not hesitate to tell you the truth, but his work is 100% aimed at getting you the results you are seeking. One of the other characteristics I respect about Will is that he actually thought about both sides in the case so we could get to a practical result. Our case had many ups and downs but Will took them in stride, kept us informed and calm, and then did fantastic legal work. Will was 100% on our side but he was extremely practical in how we achieved that goal. Will is easy to talk to, easy to work with, and very thorough. I could not recommend Will more strongly and if there were 10 stars I would rate him that high. I ;highly recommend Will and the Stogsdill Law Firm.

The Absolute Best!

First, let me begin by saying I have never written a review before but felt the need to write this review on behalf of Will Stogsdill and the Stogsdill Law Firm. I walked into the Stogsdill Law firm in June of 2015 and after meeting with Bill and Will Stogsdill for a few hours, I knew I went to the ...right place. Eighteen months later, I still believe (and know) it was the best decision that I made. 1. Customer Service - I will say that their service is what I would call "white glove". Both Bill and Will were always there for me and always took my phone call, independent of the hour of the day (because when the s--t hits the fan, it's never at a convenient time). They were with me every step of the way and I'm happy to say that have just completed an 18 month battle in Dupage County divorce court and couldn't be happier with the level of service and personal attention I received. 2. Knowledgeable about the Law- Will and Bill were nothing but stellar and were incredibly knowledgeable about the law (and every detail of my case). I never once had to explain anything to them twice and there was always an understanding of legal process and procedures. When I called to speak with them, they had already read all of the emails/correspondence and we didn't ever have to waste time on the background. 3. Understanding & Compassionate - Will in particular was incredibly compassionate about my circumstances and always tried to help and make accommodations, especially keeping up with the bills. His empathy is one of the reasons he's such an amazing attorney. 4. I needed to provide one additional comment about Will in particular because while he's more junior than Bill in terms of years of experience, he was just as good at trial (trust me, I saw him in action), legal strategy, ALWAYS went the extra mile. Not once did he ever back down or make me feel like I was imposing on him (and there were many weekend calls and texts). I have since recommended them to many in my network. Hire them. They are an incredible firm and Will and Bill are second to none!

Outstanding

Last year, I remember coming to Avvo hoping to read a review that leapt off the page and assured me I was selecting the right Attorney for my case. Let this be that review for you that makes you pick up the phone and schedule a consultation with Will Stogsdill. I hired Will after heari...ng glowing recommendations about Stogsdill Law Firm as being the "Cream of the Crop" when considering Family Law legal representation in Dupage/Will County. After seeing him argue in court, I would say you would be wasting time trying to find another law firm in The STATE of Illinois that is more sharp! I have watched him argue motions while veteran Attorneys (25+years) sit-in the courtroom, listening, smiling, whispering and nodding their heads in approval, at how well prepared he is. His presence in the courtroom is impeccable; his command of the law (in the most difficult kinds of cases) demands respect from opposing counsel. Let me be clear, he was not my first Attorney. But when he came onto my case, everything changed for the better. Finally, I have to say, that his fees are fair. Pick up the phone, call Stogsdill Law Firm. Simply the best!
