Bill responded to my needs promptly and professionally. Every time I emailed with random questions, he took time to respond almost immediately. He was genuine with his consultation feedback . He's is very knowledgeable about the subject matter and explained all risks involved. Its obvious he has dealt with this scenario many times. He thinks heavily about the children first. He has a calm and kind approach to sensitive subjects.

Hired Attorney William B. (Bill) Fortino

The first moment I met Bill, he informed me of a simple truth: "Your son is my primary concern. If I do not believe you to be a good man or a good parent, we will part ways." I appreciate Bill's commitment to putting my son first. When it comes to family law cases involving children, it is essential that the attorney prioritizes the child's best interests. The process took time, but Bill was persistent in ensuring that my son's current and future well-being was a priority. He worked tirelessly to build a strong case on my behalf. He was also always available to answer my questions and provide me with support. I am confident that I would not have been able to achieve the same outcome without Bill's help. A year after Bill represented me, my son now lives with me full-time in Hawaii and my son is excelling in all aspects of his life. If you are looking for an attorney who will put your child's best interests first, I highly recommend Bill.

Having Bill as my lawyer was a wonderful decision. From the very first day until the end. When we first met he told me that my ex-husband was no longer my worry or problem. He told me that he was his worry as of the first day of hiring him. I would recommend Bill to any and everyone. He is the number 1 lawyer you are looking for.

Left a review when things were "finalized", but can not speak enough praise for Bill and his team! Bill has continued to help with my case long after everything was said and done. He answers questions quickly and in a way I completely understand and has a level head on his shoulders (something anyone going through this type of situation needs). He has great morals and integrity but most of all, he know his stuff!!!!

Bill Fortino has been my lawyer for 5 years now and has continuously been amazing, no matter what issue arises or when, he always makes himself available and provides sound legal advice. As a defendant being taken to court in 2016/2017 over a child custody issue (which we won), to years later as a plaintiff going through mediation in 2021 (which we resolved, avoiding court), he continued to work extremely hard for me being involved and was always one step ahead. He even saved me money! I have always felt reassured and he always gave me honest answers and advice. He is very personable and knowledgeable and truly cares about his clients and their situation. I will continue to use him and recommend him to anyone going through family court/custody issues. He has been the most amazing lawyer and works extremely hard for you to resolve issues without causing unnecessary stress!

Working with Mr. Fortino was a light in a very dark time. I had a rather hard divorce and he cared for me and for the betterment of my son. He talked me through every step of the way (even if it was hard conversations, he was completely honest) and left nothing to chance. If you are facing any sort of legal dilemmas, please, look no further than Bill Fortino. He will have your back and not just that, he will truly care.

Bill Fortino was my attorney in my divorce. Bill truly listened, was very empathetic, thorough, resourceful, and put me at ease. He is the type of attorney that really cares about his clients and goes the extra mile. Bill was quick to respond to my emails, voice messages, and texts. He even made himself available to me on his off hours. Bill is very knowledgeable, well prepared, does his research, and plans for the worst case scenario. I couldn't have been any happier with his representation.

I knew that I need legal representation; someone who was knowledgeable, honest and had integrity. The services that Mr. Fortino provided for me went above my general expectations of "legal representation". In my opinion he treated me and my case as though it was he himself being affected. He provided me with answers to all my questions and kept me informed providing quick feedback. His attention to my case allowed me to focus on my work and function positively in general. Thank You Bill Fortino

Bill was honest, up front, and patient. He put me at ease, was available when I needed him, and answered all my questions throughout the process. He told me what he thought would happen, so I knew what to expect. Bill was thorough and well prepared when we went to court- much more than the opposing counsel- and it paid off for me. I ended up coming out better than what I'd anticipated. I credit that victory to the grace of God, and a good attorney! I feel blessed to have had Bill on my side.
