This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Retired Banker/Business Owner

William "Goose" Changose is hands down the best attorney I have ever worked with. He handled my Mother's probate quickly and efficiently. He was always courteous and treated my family with dignity and respect after the passing of my Dad. He is compassionate, honest and trustworthy. His skilled ex...pertise had us in and out of probate in less than 7 months. He let us know what to expect upfront. His fees were reasonable and less than what we were anticipating. If we ever had a question there was never a problem getting in touch with him. He made the process easy for us during a very difficult time. I would recommend him to anyone.

Knowledgeable and Thorough

Goose explained our options clearly and was direct yet personable and easy to talk to. Helped us to negotiate and create contracts and partnership agreements. Very responsive to questions and concerns.

Probat

It isn’t a pleasant experience having to deal with a death. I made a very good choice in hiring Attorney William Changose to help me through a tough situation. Goose was there for me from getting paperwork started, to answering my questions, through the final paperwork that closed the case. My wife a...nd I are going to have wills made and Attorney Changose will be my choice for handling that. I would highly recommend him to others.

Very Professional Attorney

Me Changose was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was very helpful during our consultation and had we decided in the end to pursue the case which we did not I would have no problem hiring him. If I am in need of a Probate Lawyer ever I would be definitely be hiring him.

Great service!

I called Goose about an issue I was having and he provided advice and few different recommendations. He was very realistic and honest about the options and did not pressure me to hire him. It was a pleasant experience and although I did not end up needing to hire an attorney, he will be the first cal...l I make if I ever do!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
