Reviews From Our Clients

The absolute hands down BEST experience with a lawyer! William Kersten and his assistant Derek we're incredibly kind and communicative and it is an honor and a pleasure to work with these two. I am finally able to feel a peace that I am in Good hands and I'm so thankful that I found them.

I have been a client for over 13 years of Bill Kersten. My overall experience has been nothing short of perfection. When seeking legal representation, it is daunting, at times humiliating and stressful. Bill made a positive point from our first meeting, to relieve some of the stress and form trust. Communication and his attention to detail is unparalleled to my nit picky standard.

Mr. Kersten handled my accident case last year. Dealing with him and his staff was always a good experience, and I could not have been more pleased with the result.

Attorney William Kersten is a phenomenal lawyer! He explained all of the implications of my case and kept me informed every step of the way. He's honest and helps his clients in any way he can and he has a great attitude..

Bill Kersten and his staff are absolutely incredible. They helped me through a lot of difficulties and explained the varying outcomes of my case from the very beginning. Bill, Brandon, and their staff are very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that everything regarding my case was taken care of properly.

He gave me the missing piece of my heart back. He knew exactly what he was doing and what his strategy was going to be from the first hearing he appeared at, HE LISTENED!!! He did the best, smartest thing an Attorney who is smart does is observe, listen, non emotional. By observing his behavior in court and following his instruction I was able to win my case get my daughter back after a nine-month ridiculously staged attempt to steal my daughter through temporary guardianship case. Every other Attorney I had spoke with had told me basically I had no chance and I was going to get my daughter back. Well Bill worked my case 3 MONTHS AND PULLED OFF THE VICTORY MY YR!!!

Mr. william Kersten is an excellent lawyer., I hired him early this year to deal with my very complicated divorce. I had a couple of lawyers before and i was very dissapointed in the way the handle my case. Mr. Kersten in a very short period of time settled my case with excellent results, him and his stuff did a wonderful job. If there is anyone who needs a good lawyer Mr. Kersten is the one, excellent lawyer.

I hired Mr. Kersten to assist with my Divorce/Move Away Order. My ex-husband was trying to take my children and move out of state with them. Bill was very forthcoming with the reality of my situation, always kept me informed, and was very helpful in explaining the process.
I would highly recommend Mr. Kersten for divorce proceedings. I would actually ask him about any issue I had in the future. He was an amazing partner and I can’t personally speak highly enough of him. He is truly a man dedicated to his work and who will fight for his clients.
