Family Law - Divorce

My divorce case was fairly simple. It was just about the money. Bill returned calls quickly, during breaks at court, or mediation. Email turnaround was quick also, depending on the complexity of the information and documents to be reviewed and modified thus removing the necessity to meet in person t...o go over documents time and time again. This was a bonus for me! I enjoyed working with Bill so much, I've hired him again for my probate case!

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Concise, available, and on point

We dealt with Bill on a fairly simple, yet unfrequent issue: seller refused to release 15k in earnest money after cancellation of contract. The issue? Paperwork reached seller at 5:06pm instead of the 5:00pm deadline. I sent Bill copies of all docs, set up chronologically by me. He interpolated with... advice and found all possible contract loopholes. Then recommended that I, the buyer, write the seller pointing out the faults of the contract, and that they would likely end up having to release the funds, plus fork-out all additional costs - likely a few thousand each. Worked like a charm. As Tony Soprano would say: baddabim-baddaboom. His final bill wasn't exorbitant either. Def-rec!

No nonsense, factual, no drama, and to the point!

Guys ... please don’t do this alone! I started out doing the friendly, no-lawyer divorce. We poked around on the internet, read the law and I was about to give the farm away. I’m a relatively smart guy and able to figure most things out, but this ... way out of my league. I had a very simple divo...rce, no minor children, no real assets - only a house, nothing really to "fight" for. I surrendered all the furniture and was trying to be fair. Bill was great, laid out the facts, applied his experience (don’t underestimate the need to find someone with experience), looked at the whole picture, and talked me off the ledge. I was giving too much. We ended up going through mediation, Bill was calm and drama free, which seemed to irritated my ex-wife’s lawyer - bonus. Bill was rational and thoughtful with the mediator. Bill listened when he needed too, asked only the questions he needed, and gave me some great advice. I know consider this an investment that has paid off. I was looking at years of support and contact with my ex-wife. After mediation, that was it. No support, no contact, life is good now. I highly recommend you at least talking to Bill, see where you stand. Then decide, but you’ll do like I did and move forward with him. Thanks Bill!!!

Recovery of family assets

Shortly after my father's death, I was in the process of liquidating his assets. Upon coming to his 401K I encountered all types of resistances and road blocks just trying to obtain even the basic information regarding the account. After many unsuccessful phone conversations I soon realized I was ge...tting nowhere with the 401k administrators. My family attorney recommended Mr. Wilson for the recovery of my father's 401k assets. While even Mr. Wilson experienced many of the same frustrations I had encountered, he finally managed a successful resolution to my problem.

William Wilson - Child Support

Bill listened to my needs and concerns and communicated with me in an easy to understand "layman" way. He followed up timley and consistently and had a complete understanding of the case and all the factors in play. We very rarely get what we want or think we deserve in these circumstances...but, I... feel he obtained the best possible outcome with his persistance and knowledge of the case and of me as an individual. I have no concerns with Mr Wilson's ability or dedication to his clients...I would highly recommend him as well as utilize if any future need arises.

"Bill is one of many law partners I have had during my many years of practicing law; however, he is the only present or former law partner to whom I refer my clients when they are involved in a divorce or have other family law matters....not because he is my partner, but because he is the best lawyer I know for the representation. He consistently handles each family law matter with the compassion and professionalism to which my clients are entitled and expect. I recommend Bill without reservation."
