Professional, Honest and Very Reliable!

I was using William Jones' services for my divorce case with child involved. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about William. He made a challenging process much easier for me! He is very intelligent and well versed in law practice and always has an answer for you, and even makes it simple to... understand. He is extremely professional and polite! The best part is that William is very honest with his fees, he will tell you right away what he will charge and his bill explains in detail what he used his services for, so there is no misunderstanding. He responded to my calls, voicemails very fast, most of the time within few hours, sometimes within 24 hours. What made me chose him as my lawyer, is that he was the only one that was willing to give me a free hour consultation with very professional advice. It is very challenging to find a good lawyer, so it is important to interview them before you hire them, unfortunately not many lawyer give free consultation. I highly recommend William!!! If I ever need a family lawyer again , I will definitely use his services again :)

Great representation!

Quite simply, I must say this: Will is a great attorney. When I was dealing with a difficult alimony issue, I moved my case from another attorney, which was the best move I could have made. Will did a detailed analysis of the complicated financial issues in my case, looked at every angle and made ...sure everything was handled before the case was heard. When we went to court, I felt that I was well represented. Using his thorough research, Will presented all of his terrific analyses in court – and, as a result, I wholly prevailed in my case. With Will’s great efforts, I felt that I finally found a piece of justice in a difficult divorce situation.

Honest, reliable advice, with clear explanations.

I sought out Will for advice when I knew my marriage was ending. I had a lot of questions regarding how to proceed, what the laws were in Oregon, and what the best way for me to proceed would be. Will helped me get my expectations in order, so there were no surprises. He explained my alternatives ...when it came time to negotiate and make decisions, and he provided me with honest and reliable information. I feel like the divorce process was made less unpleasant with Will's guidance, and was happy to get it resolved within a reasonable time frame.

"Will Jones is a Portland family law icon and a true no nonsense attorney. Will is my go-to attorney when I am dealing with a complex issue and I just need a quick answer. His ability to rise above a conflict and to take the necessary course of action is unparalleled in our field. Rarely do you find an attorney of this caliber with not only the knowledge but also the skills and persona to get his clients the results they deserve. It has been the greatest honor of my legal career to work under the masterful supervision of such a family law guru."
