William Martin Gwire

I am a well-respected physician in San Francisco, and lost an arbitration dispute with a practice management firm -- due to faulty legal representation. After consulting with several top business attorneys in the city -- all of whom agreed that the outcome was due to legal misrepresentation -- I was... referred to Mr. Gwire. After a thorough review of my case, he provided brilliant representation for me -- both at the depostions and the mandatory pre-trial settlement. Though he felt strongly that we were likely to double or triple our "return" if we proceeded to a jury trial, he was extremely respectful in aggreeing to my wishes to accept the high 6-figure settlement that the opposing side offered at this pre-trial meeting -- acknowledging my desire to be done with the matter and not be involved in a knock down-trag out court proceeding. His preparation with consultants and audio-visual aids was impeccable. Every thing that he said would happen, did happen. He restored my faith in the legal profession! This was a case of legal malpractice, and that category is not included in the choices for "type of cases" below.

Gwire Law Offices came to our rescue when we, having no prior experience with lawyers, had been taken to the cleaners by our attorney. We had already gone to fee arbitration in Sonoma County, which we won. Then the attorney sued us the day before the arbitration award would have been final, which com...pletely absolved him from paying us. We were shocked that a lawyer would stoop to this level, especially since a panel of three arbitrators had already found him to be in the wrong. One phone call to Gwire Law, during which a junior attorney actually listened compassionately to our ordeal and asked pertinent questions, led us to believe that this firm actually cared about justice, not about money. Bill Gwire stepped in a few days later, telling us with dismay that this was the worst case of fee gouging he'd encountered in his entire career. Then Gwire Law got us the settlement we had deserved all along, but not without a fight, because the attorney we were going after was used to intimidating people and avoiding malpractice suits completely. He fought like a mad-dog, but we finally prevailed. From day one we felt that we were treated fairly and honestly by Gwire Law, which restored our faith in the legal profession. We highly recommend this firm to anyone who has been treated unjustly by the one person who is supposed to always be on your side, your attorney.

I had never required a lawyer before, but like many, was painfully aware of the often ill-characterized reputation of the legal profession. So it was with understandable trepidation that I began my search for a legal representative to take my case. I had heard of Gwire Law Offices through a colleague... who recommended the firm to me, even though this colleague had no personal experience with the firm. So I took a chance on Gwire. All I can say is thank goodness there are legal firms out there like Gwire Law. From the moment I phoned, I had a very positive experience. Bill Gwire was very responsive and got back to me straight away. He set up an early appointment to meet, and established a connection with me that made me feel comfortable and secure. Bill was professional, polite, empathetic and extremely knowledgable. With both professional expertise and compassion did he immediately grasp the full complexities of my difficult situation. He was friendly, calm, patient, centered and very strategic in his approach to my case... all of which greatly helped me feel secure in that I had made the right choice with Gwire Law on my side. Bill took the case and charged a very reasonable fee for his firm's services. His fees are professional and reasonable for the excellent service you get, and (unlike many other law firms) he did not ask for a huge retainer before he looked at my case, for which I was very thankful. Bill's knowledge, experience and expertise are impressive and extensive, and what he doesn't know he finds out... so that you can be sure that when it's time to go to court, no legal stone will be left unturned. I can honestly say that I enjoyed working with Bill and his staff. If I need an attorney again, I will definitely hire the services of Gwire Law Offices. I suggest you do the same.

Bill represented my ex-wife and me in a case against my former accountant who made a gross error that resulted in us having a >$40,000 AMT bill due to his lack of accurately answering our specific questions on the subject. The accountant denied everything and stonewalled behind the insurance company.... Bill represented us very well in the case and we recovered the loss.
