William Schlecht. Attorney at Law

I've known Mr. Schlecht for a number of years. If ever I'm in need of attorney within his specialization he would be the one I would call. Truly a man of stellar integrity and diligence.

I worked along with William R Schlecht several years in the course of international business transactions

Being myself a M&A transaction lawyer in France, I worked along with Bill Schlecht during several years when he was an in house lawyer in a leading telecom operator . I found him to be consistently a very competent and very experienced M&A / Contracts lawyer in an international context.So I would r...ecommend him for business international transactions.

Legal recommendation

I have known Bill for over 30 years personally and on a professional basis. He is top notch on every front. Most recently he represented a company I own and did an excellent job.

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.
