Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Best damn lawer in McHenry County. Extremely knowledgeable about drug charges, incarceration process, criminal process and procedure, and will fight tooth and nail against the tyrannical government of McHenry County to insure that the accused walks away satisfied with his or her final disposition. Highly recommend. Signed, Erik C. Strickland
He is an attorney that truly cares about his clients and works hard for a positive outcome. He made sure that I understood everything that was going on after every court event.
Bill is truly the most compassionate, down to earth lawyer you will ever find. He actually cares about you and your case and always asks how my family is; by name! It's not just about money for him although, as well all know, he gets paid for a service. It's a great service. I always recommend him and use him whenever I have too and occasionally seek out a referral if not in his expertise. A great guy and will always be my lifetime lawyer.
Bill is so easy to talk to, always calls you back even if it’s just to answer a question. Super informative and will advise you what’s best even if it’s not to hire him but to handle it a different way. Honest good guy! Thanks Bill!
Bill is a genuine down to earth guy. Sometimes hard to find in attorneys. He truly cares about each and every client foremost. He always remembers to ask how my family and kids are doing everytime I talk to him. I call him for everything, even recommendations. Great guy and lawyer!
William Bligh will go the distance to fight for his clients. He's trust worthy, open minded and fair. I would highly recommend him if you find yourself needing a defense.
Extremely caring and a genuine guy. Bill truly cares about his clients and wants only the best results possible. Well respected by all,honesty and trustworthy. I will use Mr. Bligh for all of my future legal needs.
Genuinely decent guy
Bill takes any case he can get. He shows up but is just another warm body in the room. He's barely present as he likely has a big stack of cases on his desk that he's focused on. He's good at pushing paper, if that's all you need. If you need someone to fight for you, look elsewhere!
This man represents and defends child predators. He is defending the worst of the worst. Does everyone deserve a defense in court? No, not pedophiles. This man is trying to get a pedophile out of custody. Scum bag.
