One of Jacksonville's Best and Most-Experienced Appellate Lawyers
Sometimes life throws a bunch of things your way that necessitates not only hiring one lawyer, but possibly many. If you're at the point when you're looking for an appellate lawyer, please know you have my sympathy. It's a place I never thought I'd end up.
Bill was one of three names that I was given by my attorney, and he was also the attorney who came up when I spoke to other attorneys and paralegals I knew. There really aren't that many who truly specialize in this field... who are Florida Bar rated in appellate law...and who've tried the number of cases Bill has before the Florida District Courts and even Florida Supreme Court.
I found that some people who say they've done appeals, really haven't done all that many. You can actually research your potential attorneys on the 1dca.org website. It's a small bunch of those who are truly experienced.
From the get-go, you know that you're talking to a person who has years of experience handling appeals and will truly do all he can for your case. He also promised me "brutal honesty" with regards to my case--which is something I respect. He's also a really nice guy.
Appeals are not cheap, but Bill's hourly rate is, by all accounts, fair. Given the level of experience, he could easily charge more.
My only regret is not consulting him sooner when it looked like an appeal may be likely. Don't make my same mistake.
