Reviews
Bill did a great job of representing multiple clients in our neighborhood in a complicated case. He was capable, personable, and stuck with us through Superior Court and again through the Appeals Court. He built a solid argument and continued to improve upon it. He considered the input of multiple clients and formed that into a cohesive case that clearly convinced the Judge in Superior Court, and three Judges in the Appeals Court.
