This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very honest attorney , his ethics and value are very very rare nowadays

I went with my close friend to get help for her( as she was suffering from her abusive husband ) . We chose him because many people recommended him .. This man is very honest , professional , he explained every thing . He is Nice and humble .. he is so kind and has tender heart . He is trust wort...hy man and good at the court . After few months , another friend had a terrible situation and she asked me for a good family attorney And she and her mom were very satisfied too. And i recommended him to my cousin ( having some one threatening her ) .and he did a very good job in getting restraining order )

accomplishing what other lawyers could not.

Divorce is an emotionally taxing journey that can leave you feeling lost and vulnerable. However, amidst the storm, I found a true guiding light in Attorney William Hannosh. Facing a particularly complex and challenging divorce, I am beyond grateful to have had him by my side. From our very first ...consultation, William Hannosh had a deep understanding of the challenges that lay ahead. He listened attentively as I shared my concerns, fears, and hopes. What truly set hm apart was his ability to empathize with my situation on a personal level. William Hannosh wasn't just an attorney; he was a confidante who made me feel heard and understood. Trust is paramount in such a delicate process, and William’s unwavering honesty and transparency fostered a level of trust I hadn't anticipated. He guided me through each step, explaining the legal intricacies in a way that was easy to comprehend. I never felt rushed or dismissed – every question I had was met with patience and clarity. This not only empowered me to make informed decisions but also gave me a sense of control during a time when everything felt out of control. What truly amazed me about William Hannosh was his prowess in the courtroom. He handled my case with a tenacity and dedication that I hadn't seen before. Trials that seemed insurmountable suddenly became winnable battles under his guidance. Hi strategic thinking and thorough preparation were evident in the courtroom, and his presence commanded respect from all parties involved. William’s ability to navigate complex legal negotiations while keeping my best interests at heart was nothing short of remarkable. He fought fiercely for what was fair and just, ensuring that my rights were protected every step of the way. It was evident that he genuinely cared about the outcome of my case, and that level of dedication was a driving force in achieving a favorable resolution. During a time when I felt at my weakest, William Hannosh was my pillar of strength. His professionalism, compassion, and unwavering dedication to my case not only secured a favorable outcome but also provided me with the emotional support I needed to persevere. If you're facing a difficult divorce and need an attorney who understands the challenges, can be trusted implicitly, and can achieve the seemingly impossible, I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney William Hannosh. He was not just my attorney, but a true ally in my journey toward ending and old chapter and creating a brand new chapter in life.

They tricked me

I worked with Sunnien Law and Mr Hannosh on my divorce case. I paid them for my divorce 4000$ in advance. As soon as I realized that Sunnien law spent all this money, I wrote them a letter that I don't want to work with their agency anymore, because I don't have a job and money and I am actually an... international student. In 2 month they sent me an invoice and said that I have to pay them almost 4000$ on top of what I already paid. I feel like these people tricked me because my English is not very good. They did a very bad job with my divorce case. I finally went to the court alone. They did everything to charge me as much as possible and do a very little job. They work very badly, don't pay attention to details and they don't care about the result. NEVER hire them.

Miserable

I worked with William Hannosh for more than 6 months, which ended up miserable. I also visited his office in San Diego and saw some Christian decoration there. I go to church too. In my opinion, I believe we should differentiate a churchgoer and a Christian. Based on the Bible, God sees every single... action we do. I hope this self-declared Christian attorney reminds himself of this in terms of representing his clients if he really is a "Christian". I think he will have to explain a lot of things about how he represented me to God.

Relationship: Co-worker

"It is hard to find a more kind and ethical attorney than Will. He is deeply caring and committed to his clients. He'll work countless hours to make sure that he is prepared for a hearing. Will is extremely likable and well liked and respected among his peers. But behind this calm and kind demeanor lies a grizzly bear just waiting to come out. Will really comes to life in the courtroom. It's really something to watch him cross examine a witness. While Will is settlement-oriented, he's a skilled litigator. He's the kind of attorney who can take the case all the way."
