William Joseph Mills

Billy is a good person, not just a good lawyer. I found him via a reference form the Electronic Frontier Foundation, where he volunteers his services to clients pro bono. I had created a website about a doctor, and was being sued for defamation. I was facing a lawsuit against someone with much mor...e money. Billy agreed to help me pro bono, to negotiate an out of court settlement. He helps the little guy. He doesn't let people be bullied. I was always able to reach him via e-mail, text, or phone, either the same day I contacted him, or the next. His demeanor is to kill people with kindness. He's one of the nicest people I've met. He is always the coolest head in the negotiation. He sees the big picture, knows what are the serious problems, and what are the things not to worry about. He worked exceptionally well with the plaintiff's attorney, always staying relaxed and cordial. The settlement process was very drawn out, as the plaintiff's attorney would disappear for months, but Billy stayed calm and just went with the flow. I never saw him get flustered. The stresses of the legal process just kind of roll off his back, as he is always focused on the bigger picture. He negotiated a settlement in which both sides were happy, we didn't go to court, and no one had to pay anyone any money. I'm sure there are other good attorneys in Chicago, but I know for certain Billy is one of them. If you are looking for a good attorney, and a genuinely good person, please put him on your list of people to consult with.

I had a copyright troll case against me. After reading many postings on the Net, I realized I was in deep trouble. I didn't have the time, money, or experiences to deal with this and I was in a panic. I followed experts' advice to look for a competent lawyer to represent me. After I talked with a few... highly acclaimed attorneys, I got a sense that most of them wanted me to pay big money to settle and they didn't really care about the impact and burden imposed on me. Fortunately I eventually talked with Billy and I knew I was in good hands. Billy was patient, responsive, and empathetic. He was knowledgeable and strategic. Within a few weeks the situation was satisfactorily resolved. I am most grateful to Billy. If you have similar situations, I'd highly recommend the best lawyer I've encountered: Mr. Billy Joe Mills.

A couple of weeks ago I received a IP copyright infringement subpoena in the mail from the Dallas Buyer's Club and my whole world turned up side down. I could not believe what was happening. I felt angry, lost, and confused. I searched frantically for legal help but was bombarded with high priced, un...caring, legal drones that left me desperate. Then I found Firm Equity and everything changed. Billy Mills was courteous, knowledgeable, patience, and understanding of my situation. He put me at ease and walked me through this stressful process all the way through to a reasonable conclusion. I am forever grateful to Billy for his excellent help in this matter. I could not have done it without him. I recommend Billy and Fire Equity highly. Thank you Satisfied Customer

I received a letter from my ISP regarding a patent troll's request for my identity. You are reading this probably because you are doing the same thing I did, researching what to do. In my case, I just so happen to infringe on the worst of the worst of patent trolls. There wasn't too much informat...ion but one common suggestion from all sites that I read was that for my particular troll, the "do nothing and wait and see" route would be the worst thing I could do and to immediately seek a lawyer. Billy was the only one who answered my call versus getting a machine. He answered my questions, gave me best and worse case scenarios and did nothing make worse the fear and anxiety I was already feeling. I signed Billy and never looked back. Other than the few emails we had that worked to remind me I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar, I hardly given the ordeal any second thought. After a quick 2 weeks, my case settled on the low but still expensive end and my identity is still anonymous to them. Everyone's situation is different, I was lucky that they caught me on a low number of infringements but in any case, I would recommend Billy without hesitation.

I recently received a copyright notice from my ISP. I did not have any idea what it meant and how I should be dealing with this. I immediately started looking for help, there were lot of suggestions that I should hire a local attorney. I am from a different state then were Atty. Billy practices ...law, so I initially was focusing on retaining local attorney. I talked to few local attorneys, some of them were expensive and none of the attorneys I talked to ever mentioned that there is an option to settle this anonymously through “client trust account”. Atty. Billy gave me a prompt response when I sought for legal assistance. He assured me that he has handled many out of state cases for settling or shielding from the plaintiff. During this process, he always responded and answered my questions. He is reasonable, his services are exceptional and he will act on your best interest. I am pleased to recommend Atty. Billy without hesitation.
