Sharp and spot-on

William’s insight and candid advice were exactly what I needed to deal with an employment matter. He listened attentively and asked the right questions before weeding out what was immaterial to my case and honing in on the pertinent details. Once he had the details and defined the legal issue as a br...each of contract, he presented my alternatives, the likelihood of a successful result and any potential impacts of moving forward. He was sharp. He was insightful. His advice was on the ball. He was exactly what I needed.

Long Trusted Relationship

Over the past five years I have created 5 corporations, dissolved one corporation, registered several trademarks and created a trust and Bill has helped me with all but one. Without exception, it has been a pleasure working with Bill. He has met deadlines, communicated accurately and effectively an...d has worked within a budget that we have agreed upon. Luckily I have never had to engage Bill to offer litigation representation but should I need this service, I will employ Bill--regardless of the law firm he represents. With regards to the one corporation I didn't not use Bill for, we hired a firm on the East Coast because my partners in the entity live there. The initial proposals for incorporation and trademark were close and my partners were making a big deal about it so we used their suggested firm. The articles and operating agreements were drafted accurately and on time but the cost was 1.5x the original proposed amount. What's worse, the trademark still is not settled and it has cost 7x more than agreed upon. Because of great experiences with Bill and the poor experiences with the other firms, I trust Bill implicitly with future legal endeavors.

  • 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.
