"Bill Kickham represented us in our first and hopefully only experience with the complex and sometimes harsh judicial system. He represented our son in a very serious legal matter and are thrilled with the successful outcome. Bill was patient, thorough and helped us understand the complexities of the law. He, and a partner who also supported us, took steps that saved us time from having to appear in court for administrative steps and pursued information that made for a strong position before the court; both helped reduce our stress during almost 7-month ordeal. Bill and his partner took the time to review evidence with our son and gave clear, straight-forward advise and coaching to our son. They ensured we fully understood the possible outcomes, helped set our expectations, and prepared us for the court date. Bill was personable and developed a positive relationship with us. Not only did we received five star legal representation and counsel, we also received moral support that really helped us through a very difficult time."

"Attorney Kickham is a true professional. Never dealing with an attorney in my past. He was a great choice. He kept me informed in every step of the way. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I highly recommend."

"Let me start by saying Mr. Kickham is the man you want on your side when you are facing tough times. I was involved in a multi-defendant case and so I’m able to compare the level of service I received to the other defendants. After listening to others complain about a multitude of issues with their representation and specifically about communication with them, it was clear I picked the right guy for the job. Mr. Kickham kept me updated the entire way and was quick to answer any texts, phone calls, emails the same day. He kept me level headed and assured me I would get through this tough time, and was there when I needed him. Mr. Kickham is not the cheapest lawyer you will find, but when you are in a serious predicament, you don’t go with the cheapest, you go with the best. He got me the result I was looking for and for that I thank you Mr. Kickham for being the BEST!"

"If you are here reading this review, you are probably in a jam and are looking for help in navigating the justice system. Same as you, I was in a situation where I had to go to court for a case. I started to look online for attorneys, and I called a few offices. I never got a call back for some of them and some of them spoke to me but never called me back after. When I called Attorney William Kickham, he answered the phone himself, much to my surprise. He asked me a couple of questions and got all my information. He said he would look at my case and call me back. After going through this a few times with other attorneys, I was unsure about Bill calling me back, but in 24 hours he called me back and explained the pros and cons of the case and explained what I could expect. He didn’t even talk about the fee. He simply wanted me to have confidence that he could handle the case. He also went above and beyond to make time to drive to my house, sit with me and go over the case. He was patient in listening to me and took his time to answer all my questions. Long story short, he helped me get out of this situation by getting the case dismissed. Do yourself a favor, after reading the reviews here call Bill and speak with him. You will not be sorry, as a matter of fact he may end up saving you from unnecessary expenses."

"I hired him in a time of need and he did exactly what was needed of him. Very professional and courteous. We won the case and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome. I definitely recommend Mr. Kickham!"
