Awards & Accolades

"I highly recommend William and his team. We hired him on a criminal defense case and he and his group were extremely professional, courteous, easy to work with, and available when needed. We honestly cannot say enough! Thank you all very much!"

"I had hired another firm before I met with Mr. Smith. After speaking with him I knew he was the best fit to represent me and my case. I had a very complex case facing multiple charges including a DUI. He made me feel very optimistic but didn’t withhold possible outcomes. He communicated everything to me in a way that I could understand. I was always able to reach him and his paralegal Molly with any questions and they were answered with no hesitation. He aggressively litigated my case and exceeded all expectations I had. He was able to get the DUI charge down to a DWAI and the other charges dropped. I was facing very severe consequences and in the end the two goals we had set he was able to accomplish. He is very knowledgeable as well as trustworthy. I can honestly say without Will my future would be completely different. He saved my career, my driver’s license and most importantly, my freedom. I HIGHLY recommend Will to represent you and your case; that was the best decision I could have made."

"My experience was strong and supportive! We all go through tough times and this was one of those times for me. I didn’t know who or where to turn to. My attorney and the whole practice guided me through the process and helped bring me to the best outcome. All I can say is “thank you”!"

"Hiring Mr. Johnson was the best thing I could ever have done during such a stressful time. I had never been arrested before and was very upset with myself for allowing myself to get a DUI. Mr. Johnson and his staff were very sympathetic and non-judgmental. While in court, Mr. Johnson presendted me as a good person who made a mistake. It was his representation of me that resulted in a favorable outcome. Thank you so very much for all you did for me Mr. Johnson."
