William Thomas Willard

I own a small dry cleaners, family owned, and using perc as a solvent. When our landlord refinanced the bank required them to test for contamination. Even though I had insurance, the process became very stressful. I felt at the mercy of my landlord, the environmental companies they hired and the dept. of ecology. I sought help from a friend in the industry and he highly recommended Bill willard. I could not be more pleased with the work Bill has done for us. As He educated me on my options I found him to be very knowledgeable. When he came to meetings with us he was obviously the most informed person in the room giving us a position of strength and confidence. His guidance was spot on and he took great pains to make sure I knew all my options. He always responded immediately and explained things to me in a way that did not make me feel small or foolish as some of the people involved had. I am so glad to have him as an advocate. I could not have navigated this situation without his help. I Highly recommend Bill Willard as an attorney.

We had a situation where the work a contractor did on our house was so bad that it had to be completely demolished and redone (by a much more trustworthy company). Bill was an excellent person to work with while we tried to recover our damages. He had extensive knowledge of the subject matter of construction law, and was a great tactician, .always planning several steps ahead to anticipate what the other side's lawyers and insurance company might try. His communication with us was always timely and detailed without being overwhelming, always making sure we understood what he was doing on our behalf, the advantages and risks of any decisions, etc.. I felt that he understood our needs and priorities well enough that we could always go with his recommendations when we had decisions to make, and those always turned out to be the correct decisions for us. I can't imagine that we could have gotten any better results with any other attorney, or that anyone else could have mitigated the stress of what we had to go through any more than he did. His fees were certainly reasonable -- to be honest, I accused him at least once of billing us for less hours than he worked, but he always denied that.. Great person to work with.

I had to speak to someone regarding the condo I am selling, and Bill lent a professional and knowledgeable ear to my woes. He made several very good recommendations and provided me with all the alternatives on how to handle an ugly situation. I know that if I have issues in Real estate I will be calling him for advice and assistance.

Bill saw us through a 2 1/2 year battle to a successful resolution. Our odds weren't high and he led us to a win.
