Bill made everything bearable with our very heart-breaking, extraordinarily cruel, BK case. Bill was super knowledgeable and confident in defending my case! He is Super ethical, caring, and COMPETENT! We finally had some victories and saw a light at the end of our never-ending dark tunnel. Thank you Bill for being our champion!
I worked for years with Bill as a colleague. He is a highly ethical and thoughtful lawyer, who is willing to find the settlement in a case, but also willing to litigate aggressively if and when necessary. He is also extremely personable, and well-liked and respected, which are essential to solid representation in Orange County. I would whole heartedly recommend Bill to anyone looking for honest, well-informed representation.

Compassionate and Insightful
I had a quick two page contract where I did not understand the last paragraph. William (Bill) Wall not only confirmed what I thought the contract said, but he was also very quick, efficient, and gave me some insights on a particular wording on the contract that I never thought of! If you have any contract, bankruptcy or consumer protection issues, Bill is your person!

A BK lawyer to keep
Bill is a lawyer that you can actually sit down with discuss a situation without feeling threatened. His knowledge of the law, ability to explain alternatives clearly and open supportive personality take the threat of disastrous failure out of the equation. Our situation was complex and convoluted. Bill methodically positioned and supported our claims and, when all was said and done, the debt has been discharged and our asset base has been maintained as originally desired.
Should you find yourself in a similar untenable position, there is an alternative. Call Bill Wall.

"I endorse this lawyer. Bill is my go to guy when issues of bankruptcy come up in my cases. He always points me in the right direction. If you are having to go through the difficult process of bankruptcy, you couldn't have a better lawyer to get you through it."

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Bankruptcies are very stressful events for clients. The mill-type handling that often accompanies higher quality bankruptcy representation of individual debtors ignores the emotional needs of these clients. Bill's approach addresses these personal issues very adroitly."
