William E Carl

I hired Billy in Jan2021 after a modification hearing with my Ex did not end favorably, as the Judge ruled by her emotions rather than the facts at hand. Billy quickly got up to speed and we filed immediately to correct the mistakes on the child support among other errors the Judge made on the pa...renting plan in the final entry. We then were given the run around by a different subsequent Judge and the Courthouse for months, preventing us from having our day to present evidence and testimony. It was frustrating to go through all of that as it made me feel that the system was being unfair and biased and based on emotion and not the facts as I’ve always thought of the Justice system. There was also an attempt by my Ex to hold me in Contempt that Billy deftly proved false during the Summer. It wasn’t until just before Thanksgiving, after being put off by the Court multiple times, that we finally had our day to present evidence and testimony. I want to note that Billy was always constantly updating his notes and evidence to present in my case as the year dragged on and my Ex continued to make serious parenting grievances against me and the children. I’ve heard that some people feel like they always have to “refresh” their lawyer from a bigger law firm about their case every time they meet but I did not experience that from Billy. He was always up to speed. Billy presented great evidence and created such a great timeline of events that this new Judge listened to the facts (I’ve had a different Judge at every hearing - no consistency in Deschutes County, everyone passes the buck) and that Judge made the determination to fix the situation, the child support and correctly implement a sane AND fair parenting plan. We got exactly what I had hoped for and what Billy clearly explained he would try to do when I first hired him. Billy is a scrappy fighter in and out of the courtroom. Don’t let some of the negative press dissuade you from thinking he’s not a good lawyer. He’s the one of the best and will give it to you straight. He told me from the start he would win my case but I don’t think he realized how long the Court would jerk us around for but he stuck by me through it all and came through, even when things seemed bleak to me. He was positive throughout. Thank you Billy. From one Dad to another.

Mr. Carl Is amazing at what he does. He’s punctual, confident, and he sells himself with honesty. What I liked most about Mr. Carl is the fact that he never lied to me to get more money. Helping me in a child custody case in Camas Washington while I live in Redmond Oregon he got me joint decision mak...ing. While my child attends school in Washington Mr. Carl was able to get me 2 out of 3 weekends and every spring/summer vacation. Mr. Carl also has the best prices. He’s fair and reasonable. I will definitely refer Carl Law to all my friends and family. I just hired him again. And he’s so far on top of everything I never have to ask why or question his judgment. He’s always so quick to inform me on anything and everything that’s been done.
