William's Client Testimonials

Mr. Salazar Provides 10/10 Service Mr. Salazar kept me consistently up to date while taking care of the service I hired him for. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of in a timely manner. He's a true professional and it was a pleasure to work with him.

Damian

Clearly knew what he was doing and had experience in doing his work. Will made it easy for me, and kept me well informed on any changes or outcomes in my case. If not for hiring him I may have had my license revoked just for not filing on a ALR hearing, which I hadn’t been told of. He would be the first person I’d refer to anyone that gets in this type of situation.

Diana

I am extremely happy with the results from Mr. William Salazar in handling a criminal case that should have never happened. He handled everything quickly and effectively. I would highly recommend Mr. Salazar and definitely will hire him again for future. We need attorney’s as him who are engaged in the case and fight ! Thank you very much Mr. Salazar!

Hire him!!! William did an excellent job representing me when I was arrested for assault- which was self defense! He took the time to consult with me last minute right before the office closed, and I was in panic mode. He was honest, compassionate and ready to fight for me for the get go. He seemed genuinely concerned for me and gave me solid advice and instruction on best way to proceed. He always emailed or called me back quickly to answer my questions. He was even present when I had to be interviewed by CPS- which was scary and humiliating for me. He is your guy! I hopefully don’t ever need his services again but if I do, he’s the first one I’m calling! Thank you, William!

I write this with so much conviction and weight lifted from my life, I've been dealing with a DV case for a little over a year, I've gone to about eight different pre-trail hearings, each were reset a month two out and reset again and again. So much precious time and money wasted. After hiring Shawn Brown's Firm, William and Shawn got to work on my case, within two weeks after gathering all the evidence and facts of the situation, my case was closed and dismissed. I couldn't be more pleased and happy with their hard work.

Mason LeBlanc

I hired William to handle my DWI case. He handled my motion to suppress hearing. He was prepared, tactical, and got my case thrown out. He was always available for questions. He worked and was prepared to execute. I cannot recommend him enough. He is a true professional and great at what he does.
