I visited Fay's office for a consultation about a minor traffic violation. He was direct. He explained plainly what my options were, and made it clear exactly what I'd be getting for his fee. In hindsight, it's apparent that Fay easily could have used his specialized knowledge to gain a quick buck from me, but instead, he did the opposite, advising me not to waste my money on his services. He advised me against his own interest! That's integrity. I will be seeking out William Fay if I ever find myself in legal trouble again.

Consulted with Mr. Fay regarding a confusing traffic ticket predicament. He was very helpful and provided solid advice for sorting out the nonsense. Even made some calls for me. Straightforward and knowledgeable. I would've hired him if had the situation called for it.

I contacted FAY & GRAFTON on Friday evening via email in distress after finding out I had a unknown criminal charge summons in Raleigh, NC pending from January 2015 Mr. Fay called me within 30 minutes of receiving my initial email. We spoke briefly he said that he would be in the office the next day which was Saturday morning he will send me and email. Mr. Fay emailed me my next steps as far as documents that he needed. I was accused of not paying my hotel fee while I visited Raleigh in January 2015 to bury one of my oldest brothers. I sent Mr. Fay my bank account statements showing that the hotel debited my account twice. I live in PG County, Maryland and I was recently hired to work for a prestigious company and this accusation was hindering me from potentially having to resign before I get a chance to start. Monday morning my investigator called me telling me her supervisor needed a resolution fast I was so frustrated and my phone rang it was Jon whom I must say was very pleasant and attentive. Long story short Mr. Fay called me to tell me my case was dismissed. I was in the middle of the mall screaming it was such a sigh of relieve. I told Mr. Fay if I was in Raleigh I would give him a HIGH five. I appreciate him and his team for helping me resolve this issue quickly. I sent my investigator the information that she needed and all is well. I will be able to start my job on time. This law firm ROCKS from Raleigh, NC all the way to PG County Maryland, Thank you so much

I was referred to Fay and Grafton from another attorney I trusted. The firm never boasted that they could make my DUI charge go away...in fact the evidence did not look good, but I was assured that they would investigate every avenue to help my case. The odds were against me. The day of trial I was fully expecting a guilty verdict, with William Fay advocating for the "best" arrangements in being found guilty. In court however, Fay took the damaging video of the arrest and turned it on its head, pointing out mistakes made by officers, establishing bias in the investigation, pointing out differences in the officers' reports versus their testimonies, and poked enough holes in the prosecution's evidence to cast doubt. We pled to the lesser charge of driving the wrong way, and I could not be happier with the work that they performed.
Fay and Grafton prepared me for the likely outcome, but Fay dazzled in court and I cannot thank nor recommend this firm enough.

Mr. Fay handled my case for an shoplifting. I was very nervous since this was the first time I had ever been in this situation. He presented me with a few different options and helped me to select the best one for me. He advised me to complete community service prior to my court date. On my court date, he was able to get my case dismissed promptly. Through this process, his office kept me informed and even helped to find places for community service. Now, he is helping me with the expungement process. I am happy to have put all this behind me, all thanks to Will.

Wil and his team made getting a ticket painless. He knows all there is to know about criminal law in Wake County, and there is no reason you should consider other options without consulting him first.
I hadn't had a ticket in years but got a little distracted and was caught at 49 in a 35. Wil got the ticket completely removed from my record when I understandably agreed to take an 8-hour driving course. Both the cost and the pain was far less than if I'd gotten any points or even had my ticket reduced.
I also have first-hand knowledge of many other kinds of criminal cases he has handled expertly, and I would highly recommend you consult with him on any matter. If, for any reason, he feels you could better be represented elsewhere, he will point you in that direction. That's the kind of integrity he has.

Mr. Fay is by far the best defense attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He agreed to help us despite the complicated nature of our case. He was very professional, knowledgeable, respectful, understanding, and compassionate. What he accomplished for us was nothing short of a miracle. We consider ourselves very lucky and recommend Mr. Fay to anyone who may be in need of a great defense attorney.

Great lawyer! I received a DWI from a check point in December and Will was able to get the charges dismissed due to an issue with the check point. Because the check point was illegal the DA had no choice but to drop the case. Couldn't be more happy with the result.
Thanks Will.

I call him, he takes care of it, no more problems. He knows what he is doing and gets the job done right every time. If I have any questions about anything he gets me the answers I need, even if it means he has to call me after he gets off work on his cell.
