Customer Reviews for Law Office of William A. Trafidlo, P.L.L.C.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2026I highly recommend Bill Trafidlo. I interviewed three lawyers and Bill was, by far, the best choice. He was instrumental in navigating me through the legal system to a successful outcome. Bill provided me with expert legal advice and guidance by offering various strategic options in a straightforward and easy to understand manner. He clearly knows the law, and I would have loved to see him in action at trial, however, he was able to negotiate a positive settlement for me. Glad we made the right choice for our attorney.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2018-2024Attorney Trafidlo will fight hard for you. He’s incredibly determined and respected by local judges and prosecutors, which helps more than you realize. He cares, and that adds to his resolve. Always available to communicate with and will take as much time needed to be sure everything has been explained and/or every avenue has been “driven down”. Couldn’t recommend more.

Bill is a very good communicator in keeping me informed about what legal issues and procedures really mean. I learned that patience is key. So if you are navigating troubled legal waters make Bill the captain of your ship.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
