Amazing attorney

Had several several sleepless nights until I found Mr. Agnew. He was very easy to talk to and knowledgeable about laws. I felt very confident about him since he was with the Angelina County attorney's office. Had excellent results when we saw the Judge.

Best Lawyer!!!

Mr. Agnew was the first lawyer i ever had to use. He met with me and we discussed my situation and he answered all of my unanswered questions. He assured me he would review my case and work with County to get a fair closure to my case. That was exactly what he did. Aside the details of my case, his p...rofessionalism was second to none and he kept to his word. From this day forward, he is my lawyer and would recommend him to anyone who wants a personable, dependable and professional attorney.

Best lawyer

Mr. Agnew is the best attorney. He stood beside me while my case was dragged for years in a small county. He fought hard to defend my case and never charged extra for my case dragging on for years. His fees are not outrageous and he fights for his clients.

William Agnew

I have used William Agnew a few times. He has always been courteous, willing to do what was needed in my best interest, fantastic at keeping me updated on the progress of my specific situation, he returned calls in a timely manner, and I always felt that I had the very best representation with him. ...In court he showed up both prepared and confident, and in both of my situations he got me the best outcome possible. He is very knowledgeable about the law, knows what he is doing, willing to do the research needed in order to have all of the facts and information that is needed in order to represent you well and win your case. I would use him again and I have referred family and friends to him as well. He is a great attorney and fights for you and your case.

Thorough and will not be bullied

A former employer of mine decided to make threats that could have cost me my professional license. At first I was devastated. After one meeting with Mr. Agnew I was assured that this matter was simply a scare tactic and could be resolved without having to appear in court. At first, I was a bit ske...ptical at how easy he made it sound. However, Mr. Agnew promptly responded to the accusations with a well versed letter. Upon receiving the letter, the accusers decided to stop further action. In short, Mr. Agnew gave me peace of mind and helped maintain my reputation. Thank you again, Mr. Agnew.
