An Outstanding Choice!

I met Bill through connection to a group complaint founded in basic corporate legal issues, and was immediately impressed. He guided us through each phase expertly, in several instances actually instructing opposing counsel, and led us to timely, extremely successful resolution of our case. He pres...sed authoritatively and professionally when necessary, while being appropriately conciliatory at times. Bill understands the legal nuances for any new facet of his cases- and we are thankful for it! Most difficult is how to narrow down top three attributes to capture Bill and his capabilities- they ALL fit! Perhaps the best way is suggested by his own LinkedIn description. He's been named several times as "Super Lawyer"... add to that "super person". I cannot recommend Bill highly enough!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
