Bill McAdams is an excellent attorney who knows his way around a courtroom. The DA twisted and turned things around, but Bill threw it right back at them making them look like fools. He skillfully brought the truth to light and I’m grateful for all his help.

My family and I are very thankful for Bill McAdams and his associate attorney, Donny. Due to a false accusation made by my husband’s ex-wife in a play for custody of our boys last year, we were thrown into the legal system and a long, drawn-out process to get out. We were very fortunate to have Bill McAdams on our side as he skillfully guided us through the legal process and in the end masterfully represented my husband in court. If you want to see as a master at his work, go watch a court case being handled by Bill. He is a great orator and his expertise and experience really shines.

Bill is unprofessional and unresponsive. I hired Bill for a legal matter and he failed to follow through with what we discussed during my initial consolation. Bill was slow to obtain evidence and did not present it as soon as he received it resulting in an unfavorable outcome. He is slow to respond to calls and mentioned that I am only but one of his many clients and that he did not have time to take my calls. During one of our rare conversations he ill advised me of the law. Hire someone else if you want worthwhile representation.
