Miracle Worker!

Buddy was referred to me when I had 48 hours to hire legal assistance. I talked to 2 other attorneys before him and to be honest, they gave me really crappy advice and didn't even seem to listen to me. Buddy was not only extremely, extremely thorough but he was willing to take multiple phone calls (l...ate at night AND on the weekends) to help me out and explain to me what was going. I can't say enough good things about Buddy from his integrity, quick wit, and overall passion he has for helping clients. I truly thought my case would take a turn for the worst but Buddy fought for me and I was about to have a positive outcome!

Reached out for help, got it.

I had a multitude of cases and/actions, either pending, or in need of a professional and no experience in handling any of it, on the solo. He is amicable, and somewhat humorous at times, is a guy for rights and morality, runs for fun but not neccesarily away from numbskulls (such as myself), and is... a calming, reassurance when ever I required it. I am pleased with what was accomplished and have nothing bad to say. If you need someone who cares, even AFTER they get retainer money in full... ;) If'n you are Buddy and you done seen this, thank you, William; told ya my brain would catch up; it would heal eventuawouldAll better and back to earth. God bless!

Among the best attorneys we have ever had the pleasure to know, passionate defender of his client!

Buddy (Wm) Pohl is a man of rare courage, excellent legal skills and we have seen him to be an all around decent human being of high moral standards. We found Buddy after a long search for a very difficult, complex case being heard in a hostile courtroom. Buddy documented the issues and holes in ...the government agencies arguements, and negotiated passionately in our best interests. Considering the huge complexities stacked against us, Buddy was able to create a miracle through his fair and aggressive advocacy. Rather than an unmitigated disaster, we are ecstatic with the "least bad" of all of the unconscionable options. Unlike many other attorneys, Buddy promptly returns phone calls. He is skilled at identifying and explaining the issues and options clearly. He was the first attorney to review all of the law pertaining to this issue with us so we had a complete understanding what we were up against, and how things had gone so badly up until that point. He gave us hope when it seemed there was none to be had. He thought outside the box. And he was respectful to our ideas and our frustrations. Whenever we observed his work, he was politely assertive with the court as well as opposing counsel. He wasn't afraid to confront them when they were clearly wrong. He proudly fought for the underdog. In every sense of the word. Buddy Pohl is a hero. We recommend him with the highest of accolades both as a lawyer and as a decent human being. As ar as we are concerned, he singlehandedly removes the aspersions cast upon the legal profession. Would that all attorneys could be like him. Seriously.

Child Advocate Cases

Mr Pohl has been amazing on every case I have hired him for. Unlike some lawyers, William Pohl walks you threw every step of the process, explaining all that is happening, what it means legally, and to you as an individual. Mr Pohl also is great to explain your options, and possible out comes of each.... Mr Pohl does not "pad the time or books" just to make more money off of his clients. I highly recommend William Pohl as a Lawyer and will definately be using his services in the future as well.
