Mr. Reddy is an exceptional Lawyer who walked me through the court process at every step until my eventual and much appreciated reduced charge from a Felony to a non criminal charge. I highly recommend Mr. Reddy for someone in need of discretion. He was appropriately non judgmental in my sensitive situation . I trusted his guidance and the result was a win. Thanks!

I spoke with Mr.Reddy on the phone after he answered some of my concerns regarding a recent matter on the "free Q&A" on Avvo. Mr.Reddy is very knowledgeable and great at explaining possible outcomes for your case. Before talking to Mr.Reddy I was completely oblivious on the matter and anxious, not knowing what could happen to me. After speaking with him for a couple of minutes I can definetely say I feel more knowledgeable. Mr.Reddy is very polite and will answer any of your questions and concerns without hesitation. He did all this at around 10pm on Labor Day, which clearly says a lot of him. Thank You !

William J. Reddy was very easy to work with. I was reccomended by one of his colleagues and yes i made the right decision. He is truly a miracle worker. William J. Reddy is super trust worthy and will keep in touch with you. Expensive, but will get the job done without much to worry about. Very experienced and just the right attorney to call.

I was charged with felony DWI in Rockland County. I heard horror stories about how this would impact my life. I would lose my job and career with a felony conviction, and be unable to get another job. I was also worried about jail. But I hired Mr. Reddy and he was able to avoid for me both the felony conviction and jail. He was able to get the charge knocked down to a lesser offense and because of that I was able to keep my job, and will be able to get one again if I needed to. He was thorough and patient, and was able to get me through the case the right way when other attorney’s would have just taken my money and tried to rush a quick result. I have asked around and it seems impossible in Rockland to avoid a felony conviction on a felony DWI, but Mr. Reddy was able to do this.

Mr. Reddy is second to none..! I retained Mr. Reddy based on current reviews and his background. After. personally meeting Mr. Reddy at his office, I found him to be precise, accurate, and didn't sugarcoat anything.
My personal experience is that I was treated more like a friend, rather thien a new Client for Mr. Reddy. Mr. Reddy was very precise in explaining what I was being charged with ("Petit Larceny,” “155.25”) , and the ramifications. I was specially impressed with the way Mr. Reddy explained the language of the law. The language of the law is pretty powerful.
For me the worst part of what I was being charge with could have very well ruined many things for me in the future. Based on the information that I gave Mr. Reddy about myself and what happened when I was detained. I was pretty much reassured by Mr. Reddy that I was a good candidate for an ACD
The ACD Advantage
The benefits of an ACD are many. First, there is no plea of any kind. This means there is no admission of guilty to either a criminal act or a violation. Second, the case is ultimately dismissed and sealed. Therefore, the case does not just get closed, but in fact dismissed by an act of law. Once it is sealed, outside of very limited instances prosecutors, lawyers, the public, etc., will not be able to access the file
My day in court went better then expected. As predicted by Mr.Reddy, I did get an ACD. Things could not have turned out any better for me.
I. personally would not hesitate to use Mr. Reddy in the future, should I need a Lawyer to represent me. Everybody's experiences different, give them a call I don't think you'll be disappointed...

My son was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor possession of drug charge. We had a consultation with Mr Reddy and he stated that if my son kept out of more trouble he felt sure that he could get him an ACD. This is exactly what happened. I feel that under the circumstances my son received the best possible result. I was completely satisfied. While i did not shop around I believe that his asking price was fair as well.
On a side note, my son was driving a car which was registered to me when he was arrested. The car was confiscated as well. The arrest occurred on a Friday night and I was able to pick up my car by Monday.

A friend recommended Bill. I interviewed a bunch of attorneys and he gave me the most time by far. He always explained to me what was going on, even if I didn't understand all of it. I needed to not be convicted of a crime, and he got me that result. I was able to get the new job that I wanted and my case never came up on the background check. Hire this guy. He was a great help to me.

I was arrested and I was going to lose my commercial license. If this happened I would have lost my job and could not get a new one. The DA wanted me to lose the license. Mr. Reddy fought hard and did not plea me out like everyone else in the courthouse. He got me a better deal than everyone else. It saved my license and I was able to still be a truck driver.

Mr. Reddy did great work on my case. He was able to convince the ADA that my case was a "bad search", which was pretty much the only way it could have been dismissed, which it was. Without that dismissal, I would have had to get a criminal record. I also liked that he explained it to me as well. He cared that I knew why I was getting a dismissal.

I was referred to William James Reddy by Brian Berkowitz and was highly dissatisfied with his service. My relationship with him was best describable as a series of lies. Being charged with 'forgery' Mr. Reddy assured me that he would defend my case and have it reduced to a 'misdemeanor'. He stated that the case would never escalate to a Grand Jury, and that,"It'd be foolish of them to do it", in his own words. At the end of the case I asked about the possibility for an appeal, and Mr. Reddy informed me that he would be unable to represent me having already done so.
Here are the facts: during the court case Mr. Reddy stood there inept, not uttering a word in my defense, and my charge remained 'forgery'. When my case was escalated to a Grand Jury he remained carefree as if our discussion never took place. Two weeks after the conclusion of my case Mr. Reddy rescinded his original words and said that he would be willing to take on my appeal for additional payments. When I asked about the total price of the additional payments he avoided giving me a definite answer.
The truth of the matter is that Mr. Reddy is incompetent and lethargic when it comes to completing the paperwork that is expected of a lawyer. I was charged $5,000 for his services and nonetheless walked out of the court with five years probation, a felony on my record, two-hundred forty hours of community service, and restitution payment of $34.13 (the judge said this broke the record for smallest restitution payment during his practice). In this same courthouse I have been told of individuals who committed assaulted robbery and received the same punishment as me with a public defender.
Having said this I believe that representing yourself will yield better results than being represented by Mr. Reddy. My advice is to steer clear of his services.
