Worst Lawyer

The best thing you could to lose is hire this man. That says all you need. There is a reason the others better.

Posted by anonymous | June 02, 2022 | Hired Attorney

Never again

I will not recommend this attorney to anyone. He uses vulgar language to somehow impress his clients. His service provided was marginal. He is very arrogant and talks down to his clients like they know nothing.

Child Custody / Grandparents

William Shillings is my attorney for Grandparents child custody case. Well, I can honestly say, he is for the children, he means business in court and he is very experienced in Grandparent custody cases. He is very Knowledgeable and use to be Macon County DSS attorney. He charges $175 hr. a retainer,... and is very fair. Lets just say he won't rip you off, you might butt heads with him if you try and be the know it all attorney yourself, thats his job....He does communicate with you, which is one thing I really like , most attorneys wont do that..Anything you have to say , he listens...God Blessed Us with this attorney and friend. And his wife , well she's the greatest. They work as a family and work to win for the children. I trust him and so far everything has gone our way in court..He is a BLESSING.....

Mr Shilling has done an excellent job for me

I hired Mr. Shilling after a recommendation of one of his collegues who couldn't take my case and he did a wonderfull job handling it, he is very knowledgeable and have very sound advices. Kept me informed all the time and acted on my behalf as if I were present in court.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2022.

Reprimand issued in NC, 2022

updated on 05/23/2022

Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Suspension Possible Stay issued in NC, 2014

updated on 03/21/2017

This means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. While on suspension the attorney may petition the Bar to have the balance of the term stayed.

William’s comment:

“AVVO is a marketing scam.”
