Pettersen Law PLLC - Colchester, VT

William helped me with my legal issue, and I very much liked him because he was knowledgeable, calm, and friendly. Great communication too.

I called William last summer after I was terminated by my place of employment after many years. Right from the first phone call, William was caring, compassionate and honest. I had never been involved in any sort of legal issue and was apprehensive and anxious about pursuing any form of lawsuit. After talking with him, I felt reassured and confident that I was making the right decision and hired him. He was amazing, from the beginning to end, keeping me informed, being realistic about our options and all the while keeping things light and as stress free as possible. He is professional, dedicated and thorough. In the end, he helped me achieve what we had set out to do. I would recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Pettersen helped me obtain much needed closure after being let go from my place of employment. The case was regarding a percentage of wages that were promised upon completion of a program and those were owed to me. A very fair outcome was achieved thanks to Mr. Pettersen’s help. He was very professional as well as empathetic to my situation throughout the entire process and even offered to help me without receiving compensation.

I highly recommend William to anyone going through a divorce — especially if you're looking for an attorney who brings both compassion and strength to the table. From the very beginning, William approached my case with professionalism and empathy. He truly listened, made sure I understood the process, and gave thoughtful, level-headed guidance at every step. What sets him apart is his ability to remain calm and strategic, even when things get tense. He doesn’t get rattled or reactive — he focuses on what matters most and knows exactly when to push and how to fight smart. In my case, William went above and beyond in his preparation. He found an old court case that ended up being key to securing a win for me. That level of research and dedication really shows the depth of his legal knowledge and how seriously he takes his work. Divorce is never easy, but having William in my corner gave me peace of mind. He’s the kind of attorney who makes you feel supported, respected, and genuinely cared for — while also being a powerful advocate when it counts. I’m incredibly grateful I found him.

I recently completed my divorce which took over one year. For the entire time, William was the utmost professional and provided guidance, patience, support and was an excellent listener too. You'll find no arrogance in any of your dealings with William. He is direct, easy to understand. He's also open to consider a different approach on an issue through open discussion. In other words, its not his way or the highway kind of attitude. He'll lay everything out for you so there are no unknowns. And, he's a good guy to boot! I highly recommend William!
