Review William Montecucco

Helpful on My Real Estate Issue

Posted by

Bill was so helpful regarding a real estate issue I was having. He gave me advice on how to proceed without requiring fees up front. He even took nut second phone call without requiring a retainer. Great advice and saved me a lot of money and hassle. Will definitely use him in the future for any real estate issues.

Bill Montecucco ROCKS!

Posted by

Bill represented my son, and the charges were dropped. COMPLETELY! My son was driving back from Seattle to college in Eugene on I-5. He was stopped by a WSP patrolman. The ticket was for speeding in a construction zone, and neither my son nor his passénger ever saw any signage indicating a change in speed limit or that they were entering a construction zone., There were no lights or construction activity going on, and he was moving with the flow of traffic. Bill went to court and my son's pristine driving record stayed intact. Bill is professional, knowledgable, economical and very, very good at what he does. I'd highly recommend him to anyone who feels they got an unjust traffic ticket in Clark county.
