Client Reviews
"Bill was exceptionally helpful to us in a time crunch - knowledgable, honest, and thorough. Thank you!"
"Clear, concise, extremely knowledgeable and very personable"
"I asked Bill to work on an acquisition deal with a tight deadline, and he delivered in spades. As all deals do, this one had a snag at the end where the buyer was getting cold feet, Bill took out the time to guide the conversation clause by clause in his friendly, fair manner to really turn things going in the right direction again. I'm sure there's many lawyers who are good at what they do (Bill sits squarely in that camp), but what sets him apart is 'empathy' and a high EQ which is not a common trait in his profession but is very welcome Will work with him again."
"Incredibly knowledgable, personable, and helpful. Made himself available to me promptly when I needed urgent help, and continues to be unbelievably responsive. He understands founder dilemmas and consistently offers a balanced, clear, and highly reasonable perspective."
"My engagement with Bill was nothing less than outstanding! He was extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. 100% would work with him again and I recommend him to anyone looking for guidance and expertise in legal matters."
"Great to work with! Easy to communicate with. Will work with william again."
