Highly recommend Bill and his team

I’ve known Bill for years. I couldn’t recommend Bill and his team more. I have worked with them on business matters. They are incredibly responsive, knowledgable, and they work collaboratively with their clients to get the job done quickly and effectively. Five stars.

Could not have asked for a better attorney...

Bill worked with us financially to pay for my sons defense and was able to get him the best outcome we could have hoped for. He and his staff were absolutely amazing and always available.

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.
