Posted by Konstantin | July 29, 2016 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Highly Recommended!

Bill was able to reduce my 0.1 BAC DUI to reckless driving. Overall, the experience from working with him was perfect, no hassles, no trips to court, no dealing with papers (I just needed to sign couple), etc. He is a very professional person. I would highly recommend Bill to any person in DUI situat...ion.

Thankful!

My liscence was suspended for a medical condition. The police were not involved.... I was feeling dizzy and pulled over in front of the hopital off to the side before I fainted. I've seen a couple of doctors since then and none of them mentioned the impending suspension to me....when I got the noti...ce in the mail you could've knocked me over with a feather!.... The case has not been resolved yet, however, I'm amazed at how fast Bill has got moving. On my case. Another attorney recommended him to me saying Bill is the only one he would ever recommend. I feel comfortable and safe that Bill will get me my liscence back.

A lawyer that truly cares!

I hired bill to represent me when i was pulled over for driving on a suspended license due to a previous DUI conviction. I was able to get my restricted license and insurance and the charges were dropped to as if i my license had only expired. I could have not asked for a better outcome it has saved ...me a large amount of money. I would definitely recommend this lawyer.

"I practiced against Mr. Higgins when he served as a Deputy District Attorney and always found him to be very knowledgeable. He brought that knowledge with him to the defense bar & is as steadfast an advocate for his clients as one can imagine. He is well respected by fellow attorneys as well as judges. He receives my unequivocal endorsement."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Bill is a former Assistant District Attorney and having tried a case against him, I can say a formidable adversary. Bill is a fine lawyer and I highly recommend his services."
