Hired Attorney 2023-2024Bill was a horrible lawyer. He promised us he had experience in the courtroom. He was an embarrassment in court. He was unprepared, offered no argument and was admonished by the judge. He refused to follow up to our phone calls and emails so we were forced to travel to his office to get any type of response from him. He was great at billing us, but unfortunately that appears to be the only skill he has mastered. He was totally ineffective. We would have been better represented if we had represented ourselves. At least then we would have had an excuse for having no idea what was happening!
