TESTIMONIALS

    

In our moment of despair, through a friend of a friend we we're handed a phone number for Bill McCool. My husband was facing a life sentence in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Who do you turn to, what do you do? Our trust in humanity and the judicial system were crumbling. When I called Bill he told me he needed to pray overnight on our case and whether or not to accept it. That was our first sign that this was the man we needed. Not only was he a well-known attorney for his genius ways, but also a man of faith. How often do you see this? Bill spent numerous hours with us, often working evenings and weekends as to not interfere with my employment - another thing you don't see often. Putting your life in someone else's hands is the most nerve racking thing you can do. We recognized that this situation was out of our control. Through God's grace in the gift he's given to Bill McCool my husband's life and our family was saved. We thank God for bringing Bill McCool into our lives. To this day he and his family remain a special part of ours.

McCool law is like an oasis in the desert. Mr. McCool and his entire staff genuinely care about their clients, and they are the most kind, most genuine people you will ever meet. Bill McCool shatters the mold when it comes to lawyers; you can actually trust him with your wallet and your life! The man is amazing. We are almost sorry our case is concluded because we have become so fond of these folks and we are going to miss them. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to everyone at McCool law.

It was obvious to everyone but the Judicial System that I was innocent of the crime I was being charged with, but the judge, the prosecutor, and detectives didn't agree. The judge pulled out all the stops. Bill was able to navigate around them with command of the law. I was acquitted of the crime Assault in the 1st degree on a police officer with a weapon (pistol) by a unanimous decision from the jury. Our defense testimony and tactics were persuasive enough that they (the jury) awarded me full compensation for legal fees. Mr. McCool's years of experience with the law and battles in the court room are undoubtable the reason I'm a free man today. In the time I knew Bill, I recognized trust, camaraderie, and compassion. I am grateful to have been represented by Bill and his team.

My experience with Mr. McCool has been very good. He has always treated me with kindness and professionalism. I always feel like I am in good hands and well taken care of. His office is very good about returning phone calls and helping as best they can. If I ever needed a lawyer again I would choose him. It has been an excellent experience.
