Awesome Job !
I was charged with a Felony for Position of stolen property 3years ago, and I contacted Mr. MacWilliam for help on reducing the felony to a misdemeanor & he did a good job and got it to become a misdemeanor. He always attended the court never missed any always on time. Overall he's a good lawyer.

Great job!
I was charged with a felony domestic violence case. I hired Mr. MacWilliam to represent me and he worked hard with the District Attorney’s office and the courts to negotiate a plea of misdemeanor disturbing the peace. What a great job and a great attorney. I would recommend his services anytime.
