Excellent attorney

After being involved in a car accident that was not my fault, I called Bill on the advice of our family lawyer. Bill was instrumental in assisting me manage the difficult and confusing process of dealing with both medical bills and insurance companies. He provided knowledgeable information that all...owed me to interact with insurance representatives and understand traffic court procedures. I was also impressed by his expertise and experience in dealing with these types of accidents. My case took more than 2 years to settle and Bill always provided a clear, accurate and honest assessment of my situation while never overpromising. I’m very pleased to say that Bill negotiated the best possible settlement for me that took into consideration the multiple injuries and loss of income that I sustained. I have the highest praise for Bill and would recommend, without any hesitation, working with him on any future cases that would involve legal representation and litigation.
