I came to Mr. Thayer regarding a traffic accident that occurred in February of 2018. The insurance company had decided to stop paying for my medical in June of 2018. I made an appointment with Mr. Thayer in November of 2018. He was very reassuring that we could get the matter resolved. He contacted my insurance companies via letters and by phone. The matter was resolved in August of 2019. Throughout the process Mr. Thayer kept in contact with me, gave me advice then always asked me how I would like to proceed. He always explained the pros and the cons, which is important to know, of our next steps. I was very pleased with the resolution of my claim. I never felt like Mr. Thayer was “going after” the insurances companies, rather he wanted what was fair for me. He is a very kind and respectable man and I would highly recommend him , and his firm, to anyone needing an attorney!
I would highly recommend Mr. Thayer. He and his team are professional, communicate clearly and are very supportive.
My personal injury case was small but required some special details, which they were able to accomplish. In my case, I had some tight timelines, which they were able to meet while keeping me informed about the process. I also like that they are very involved in the local community.
If or when you need a lawyer, Bill Thayer is a great choice!
We represent people and families who are finding it difficult to get a fair shake from insurance companies or corporations that should be accepting responsibility for an injury or death.
Mr. Thayer and the other attorneys in this office handle various types of personal injury and wrongful death cases, including auto, semi-truck, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents, dog-bite cases, etc.
Mr. Thayer has handled wrongful death cases, construction site injury claims, automobile collision claims, and a myriad of other types of injury claims. While most claims are settled through negotiation or mediation, Mr. Thayer has litigated, arbitrated and/or tried to verdict many cases for his clients. He is also appointed by other lawyers to serve as an arbitrator of tort claims.
I have been practicing law for over 33 years. Throughout my career I have handled personal injury and wrongful death cases. I find helping people in that field of practice to be very rewarding. I also did criminal defense work up until about 2005, which provided invaluable trial and appellate experience that has translated well over into my current civil-only personal injury/wrongful death practice.
In my leisure time over the years I have enjoyed family, fishing, camping, sports, coaching basketball, soccer, and mock trial, reading novels and history, and, most recently, learning to speak and read Spanish.

Great experience
Bill was a pleasure to work with. He did a great job on our case. He was always very professional and kind. He explained things to us very clearly and gave his honest opinion about what our next steps should be. He was always sweet with our young son. We never felt rushed out of his office and he always made our availability fit into his schedule. His staff are all very polite and kind as well. Our experience with Bill and his staff was overall great and we would recommend them to our friends and family.

Excellent lawyer, made the horrible experience of car accident less horrible
I was referred to Bill Thayer after being involved in a car accident, and I am very grateful to have made his acquaintance. From the very first meeting he was personable and attentive, very detail oriented. I was confident in having him represent me right away. I had tried to negotiate with Geico for a fair personal injury settlement on my own, prior to meeting with Bill. They admitted full fault but their monetary offer was laughable, I am a stay at home mother and I felt my time was seriously undervalued. Bill may be very personable and mild, but when it came time to interact with Geico, he was right on it. Well prepared and familiar with my case information, and seemed to anticipate what the other lawyer was going to throw at me. I felt very well defended. Bill kept me informed every step of the way, and prepared me for what to expect at each stage. He also clearly gave me all my options and never tried to sway me into anything that made me uncomfortable. Bill's assistant is also one of the most efficient people I have ever met, Bill has excellent support. Getting in an accident with my 2 kids in the car and trying to navigate the following process with the opposing insurance company was very stressful, but Bill and his staff made it doable, and even made me feel confident. We received a verdict that was very fair, and Bill prepared me for the expected appeal, which shockingly didn't materialize. Bill was even kind enough to look over a legal document for my husband and give us his opinion. I will go back to Bill for any future legal needs, and I highly recommend him.
