Not Impressed
I am a recent client. I was served a Temporary Domestic Violence Restraining Order by a family member which was completely baseless. Bill came highly recommended and is certainly a well qualified attorney. Unfortunately, his services did not impress me. He was very helpful and responsive prior ...
I am sorry you were "not impressed", even though you received the results you requested. You hired me having been served with a restraining order by a family member, and our goal was to have the restraining order dismissed. We spoke and / or met nearly everyday from the day you hired me until the date of your court hearing. On the day of the hearing we met 30 minutes prior to discuss the case. We were presented an offer to settle, which included a dismissal of the restraining order. We thoroughly discussed the proposal, and you then signed the order as acceptable. The additional requests you refer to were repeatedly discussed, and I advised that those items were not allowed under the law to be heard during this court case. You seemed to understand this. I am sorry that these favorable results did not meet your expectations in retrospect.

He was never a second late, nor did he ever take up too long a time in our meetings, he is cut dry and to the point....

William Wolf is a mastermind in the courtroom!
William Wolf saved my career as a Medical Equipment Sales Representative. I hired William nine months ago when I was arrested for a DUI and possession of a controlled substance. My license was suspended for medical re-examination, and during this time I got a ticket for driving on a suspend license. ...
