Expertise as a Trial Lawyer is Unparalleled

My case was particularly complex due to the evidence and the character of the witnesses presented by the District Attorney in regard to a physical altercation. Attorney Bill Stanton was very knowledgeable and I trusted his experience to defend my innocence. In the end the case was dropped and I was ...found not guilty.

There When I Needed Him

After I got into a physical altercation at a bar, I was charged with aggravated battery. As they say, wInners go to jail, losers go to the hospital. Mr. Stanton took my case to a jury trial, and asserted self-defense. The jury deliberated for less than an hour and found me not guilty. I can't thank ...him enough for his hard work in clearing my name.

Consummate Professional

Mr. Stanton handled my case in an expedient fashion and secured the best possible result - a Not Guilty verdict. I highly recommend his services.

Life-Saver

Mr. Stanton defended me on a drug conspiracy case. I was looking at 30 years in the pen. Stanton filed a motion to squash my arrest and suppress the evidence. At the hearing, he did work. He had the witnesses contradictin theyselves, and the judge did not believe a single one of them. The judge threw... out my case! Thanks to Stanton, I'm a free man.

First time DUI help is a life saver

I've never had any law trouble before. I made a mistake driving drunk and a friend referred me to Mr.Stanton. I didn't realize how outgoing he was going to be and the information when being in trouble for the first time is immeasurable. After calling him the first time was the last time. I never had ...to because my questions were all answered. He only called me if need be and it was great. Thanks again if your reading.
