Great Lawyer
This lawyer did an excellent job on my employment discrimination /retaliation case. He is very competent and detail oriented. He found the "smoking gun" evidence that the other party tried to hide, and it made all the difference in my case. I highly recommend this lawyer.

Cps case from he**!
This lawyer worked very hard for our family, despite an uphill battle with a crooked commissioner and her best buddy the opposing lawyer. Some how after 3 and a half long years it finally ended in our favor. Thank you Mr. Edelblute.

Very good experience.
I needed an attorney's advice and his office got me in for an appointment within just a few hours. He looked over my information very thoroughly and gave me sound advice and for a very reasonable fee. I would hire him in a second if I needed to. Very impressed.

Excellent help with property line dispute
I hired William Edelblute to help me with a property line problem. He gave me sound advice, wrote the required letter to the property owner promptly and the dispute was solved without expensive litigation. I was very pleased and would thoroughly recommend his services to anyone.
