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.

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.

Excellent Attorney!
I retained Mr. Edelblute to represent me in a suit against a general contractor I hired to complete a basement remodel. I paid the contractor over $32,000 and he only finished 50% of the remodel before leaving the state. Mr. Edelblute was able to recover the maximum amount of the contractor's bond,...

worst law firm ever
I paid good money for representation and what I have recieved was far from that. almost 3,000.00 for an attorney to make a complete monkey out of me and humiliate me, all the things this firm promised to do was never done or even attempted! I have proof of what transpired between this lawyer and I. I...
William Edelblute
Replied last January 16, 2013This is the same person who posted the next "review." He was not charged $3,000. He did not disclose that he already had five prior convictions. Despite numerous charges relating to not being able to contact a certain person, he flagrantly went out in pubic with her while this charge was pending. No one is talked into hiring us. The facts were that he finally came out of hiding from the protected person's basement while police were there. He was told to go to trial if he had a defense. He got a very lenient sentence in light of his record, 15 days with one third off for good behavior. I was the driving force behind getting another charge dismissed as a condition of his deal, when I did not even represent him on that charge.

Prompt and successful
After heavy snow damage this winter, my homeowner's insurance company completely denied my claim. I retained Mr. Edeblute, and within a week had policy limits on the table from the insurance company, plus the atttorney fees!
