Ours was anything but your average cookie cuter case, yet through what seemed like overwhelming circumstances surrounding our Chapter 13 case, Vern and his polite and abundantly capable staff
ushered us through a nearly 5 year process that has enabled us to have a new lease on life. Kudos to their Patience, Cooperation, Professionalism and their dogged-never say die attitude.

I have to start this review with a huge thank you to bill. I needed a lawyer to form an llc for my boyfriend, so I started my search and came accross bill's number on line. Suprisingly he answered his phone and took the time to explain the process to me and quoted a price, which was several hundred dollars less then the other 2 attorney's office had quoted. They made it seem so difficult to form an llc and bill showed me how simple Iit was. He is by far the best atty I have ever delt with. I highly reccomend him because you just dont find attys like this. Thank you again bill from one very satisfied client.

Bill was a highly effective attorney in the planning process with respect to land use and subdivisions. Bill would go out of his way to ensure that the desired result was achieved. When Bill did not know the answers he would find them and communicate them in short order.
It was a pleasure to work with Bill and his quick wit and good humor.

Takes your money, gives no updates, you have to call a million times and he turns his phone off. It’s insane how people just have no conscience. It’s been a year and I’m still yet to receive a retainer after paying 2500 upfront. Stay away.
