This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly skilled, easy to work with, and delivers results

My first counseling with Bill (William) was in the month of Oct’2017. Right from the outset, I found Bill to be professional and systematic - he explained me the legal procedures in sufficient details (and in a way that I could understand them to my satisfaction); cadence of events and rough timeline...s around them; and the documents that would be required of me and the legal documentation that he and his office would prepare on my behalf. After talking-to and evaluating a few more lawyers in the area, I was convinced that Bill would be represent me the best, following which I hired him. Bill has a strong bias for action, and in the weeks that followed, he proved to be increasingly resourceful - he asked the right set of questions (from me) to be able to assess the situation properly, and allowed me to ask mine. His recommendations and advices were tremendously helpful throughout, and they proved to be instrumental to quickly move forward with things. He was swift and detail-oriented with the paper-work and and ensured the documentation was thorough and error-free. He was timely in his communication and kept me informed around the proceedings. He and his office were also very accommodative of my schedule - even though I was not in the city for long durations of time, scheduling time with him over the phone (to have my questions answered or to get a status-update), was a breeze. He is also very responsive over emails. Thanks to Bill, my case concluded smoothly and as expected. Overall, I found Bill to be reliable, responsible and accountable and would strongly recommend him and his services.

Child Custody

My attorney Mr. William Buchanan is the best attorney ever. He is the second attorney that I had to hire for my custody case. I hired Mr. Buchanan less than a month to the date of my trail. Before I called him I went through a list of 9 other attorneys that actually did not want to take my case say...ing that it was very complicated and a contested case, they also said that I called them a little late and they just can’t take my case. BUT when I got to Mr. Buchanan, he was the most sensitive and understand attorney I have ever met, he actually started to help me even before I met with him in person or even signed anything with him. He took on what other attorneys saw as complicated and not enough time left for them to do anything and won the case, nevertheless, what Mr. Buchanan said he will accomplish happened and I got EVERY THING I ASKED FOR AND MORE. Mr. Buchanan is the BEST attorney you will ever meet: 1. When you tell him your story he will remember accurately everything like all he has is your case. 2. Very well organized. 3. Very sensitive 4. Compassionate 5. Very understanding 6. Not judgmental 7. Very honest in his work, nothing but the truth. 8. Very smart, so that, if the other party lies, Mr. Buchanan can ask him questions that will reveal the lies. 9. HE IS WORTH IT EVERY DIME. By hiring Mr. Buchanan, I got what I wanted and MORE, he is a person that I will remember the rest of my life, because his diligent work saved my child from years to come of pain and hurts.

Highly skilled attorney that delivers!

I hired William Buchanan to handle the onslaught of litigation from my ex, post divorce decree. Mr. Buchanan does a great job of advising of what the possible outcomes are of particular strategy. That's why I've been using him going on three years now. After my decree and having two other attorne...ys who adopted whatever position I wanted with little question and poor results, I was looking for someone with more experience to thoroughly explain the pros and cons of my legal questions. I found him to be very thorough and patient; obviously key qualities if you're the type of client that wants to know what's going on. Mr. Buchanan is also pretty easy to reach if you have questions about your ongoing case. As mentioned above, I've had a couple of attorneys and client communication results have varied quite a bit: some won't return calls, some are afraid of email and treat it like a black hole. Mr. Buchanan won't leave you hanging as your case develops.

GREAT REVIEW

MR. BUCHANAN HANDLED MY DIVORCE FOR ME WITH A CHILD CUSTODY CASE OF MY SON. WE WENT TO COURT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE OUTCOME WAS GREAT. HE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND PRECISE WITH DOCUMENTATION AND HITTING DEADLINES FOR COURT TIMES. WHEN THE CASE WAS OVER I HAD A GREAT PARENTING PLAN IN PLACE FO...R MY YOUNG CHILD.
