Posted by Rob | September 05, 2015 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Awesome attorney

Bill represented me for a DWI charge recently. He exceeded my expectations. As you can imagine, I was extremely nervous throughout the whole ordeal. Bill walked me through every stage and let me know what was to be expected at each court appearance. He always answered my calls and emails. He was a...lso always honest with me. He let me know what the worst case scenario was but promised to fight for the best. In the end he got me a great result. I would highly recommend using Bill if you find yourself in a similar situation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
