This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A great lawyer and all around great guy

Long review to follow. If you’re not willing to read it, the short version is this: When you hire Bill Doutt you’re guaranteed to not only get great legal representation, but also someone who cares about you as person. I only write reviews for services that are exceptionally good or terrible. Tha...t said, I feel more than fortunate to have had Mr. Doutt (Bill) in my corner the two times I’ve been unlucky enough to need a lawyer. I first needed Bill’s services to file bankruptcy during graduate school. I assumed it would be a complicated and stressful mess, especially since I was in the process of moving out of state and trying to sell a house. I was completely mistaken. Bill’s extensive knowledge and straight forward approach not only helped ease the pain of the experience, but also helped me retain most of my assets. Thanks Bill! The real reason I’m writing this review though is because of his assistance when my wife was injured in a car accident (by no fault of her own). Her injuries required month after month of doctor’s appointments, evaluations, painful procedures, and more stress than she could handle. Sometimes that stress was about the building pile of medical bills and concern that the responsible driver’s insurance company would try something shady. Bill was an absolute Rockstar - he was easy to get on the phone and when my wife would call he always went the extra mile. He took whatever time was needed to explain all the potential outcomes and his feedback always included sincere empathy about the situation. Honestly, if he ever retires from law, he would make a great therapist. In the end, he helped my wife to recoup the highest amount of compensation possible, but the value of helping to keep her anxiety down was, as they say in the commercials, priceless. All told, Bill is a great guy and a great lawyer. I hope to never need his services again, but in the event that I need a lawyer, he will be the first person I call.

Client recommendation

Mr. William Doutt represented me in an auto accident lawsuit. My case was very difficult, complex and challenging which took about 1 and 1/2 years to bring to a satisfactory conclusion. Hats off to Bill for wading through volumes (or should I say mountains) of medical papers. Being an extremely stre...ssful time for me, I appreciated his patience, understanding and keeping me informed of the status of my case. Bill represents excellence, professionalism, knowledge, ethics, high morals and provides personal attention. I highly recommend Mr. Bill Doutt and the entire van Meveren Law Group.

Very Professional...makes you feel at home with the legal process

Earlier this year, Bill Doutt and I put together my living will. His demeanor as a attorney made me feel at ease. He made me think I was speaking with a friend, and my comfort level with him made the legal process that much easier. I highly recommend Mr. Doutt to my friends and family.

Highly Recommended

My wife and I have used Mr. Doutt for a couple legal matters over the past 3 years. We found him to be very knowledgable and efficient in his work. He kept us well informed on our legal matters and payed great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Mr. Doutt. He is a true professional.

"From 2006 through 2010, I practiced law locally on an almost daily basis with Mr. Doutt, often as opposing counsel. I have had the opportunity to observe Bill in and out of the courtroom, and I have prepared for trial with him as co-counsel. Bill always communicated in a clear and concise manner and promptly returned all telephone calls and/or emails. He was very responsive to his client's concerns, and he often went to extraordinary lengths to insure a good outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Doutt to anyone in need of representation."
