Best lawyer in town + a good person

I have met Bill only three times but he has gone to the court for me several times. I needed him around 10 years ago when I was pulled for a DWI. I was broke back then and someone suggested me to take his services. He was extremely personable and excellent listener. He went to the court for me and fo...ught my case - not only using technical knowledge but also his network and intelligence. We were able to reduce the case to Obstruction to a Highway and eventually got the case dismissed. As I was not doing good financially, he also gave me a reasonable discount. During the last 10 years, I needed documents from the court as I was traveling across the country. He not only remembered me but also sent me the documents after paying for them himself at the courthouse. Even after I pushed him, he did not accept money. So overall, in summary - a great person to know and awesome lawyer. I highly recommend him

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.
