"My family and I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Mason. From the very beginning, he believed in me, fought for me, and never backed down. He took the time to understand every detail of my case and built a powerful defense that ultimately led to a positive verdict. What mattered most to me was proving my innocence—and that I was telling the truth. Thanks to his skill, dedication, and relentless pursuit of justice, I was able to clear my name. He didn’t just defend me legally—he helped restore my dignity. Mr. Mason’s courtroom presence was focused and throughout the entire process, I felt heard, supported, and in the hands of someone who genuinely cared. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you like it’s personal—who is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also truly compassionate—look no further. I will forever be grateful for what Mr.Mason did for me. Wyatt Howell"

"I cannot thank Mr. Mason enough for the extraordinary work done on behalf of my son. We were facing an incredibly difficult and sensitive legal battle—one that carried not just legal consequences, but the heavy weight of public perception and personal dignity. From the very beginning, Mr. Mason handled the case with an unmatched level of professionalism, compassion, and strategic brilliance. It was clear we had someone truly committed to uncovering the truth and defending it with integrity. Through every step, he was meticulous, steady, and deeply respectful of the emotional toll it took on our family. Thanks to his tireless advocacy, my son was found not guilty, and more importantly, his good name and reputation were rightfully restored. No words can fully express what that means to us. This verdict gave my son his life back. If you or your loved one ever find yourselves in need of a defense attorney who will fight with honor and heart, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Mason. He is not just an exceptional lawyer—he is a guardian of justice and dignity"

"I can now honestly say, I know what it’s like to have an attorney represent me who is THAT GUY! William Mason is THAT GUY! I didn’t’ finish probation on a 20-year-old case. I only finished half of it. Bill scheduled a hearing regarding the revocation of probation. That’s like a trial. Witnesses, questioning, swearing in, the whole thing. I was innocent of the charges which isn’t enough. You still must defend yourself from the accusations. They offered me 3 years before the hearing and Bill said, “Hey, there’s no way. This doesn’t make sense”. Then when the hearing started, they suddenly wanted to give me 10 years! I couldn’t believe it. But my lawyer was Bill Mason! Now I know what it’s like to have THAT GUY for my defense lawyer! He was brilliant! I won that hearing and all charges were dismissed. My family was in court and couldn’t hear what the judge said, but my dad said, “4 or 5 people turned around after the judge ruled and started grinning at him”. William Mason! Can’t recommend him enough. He’s THAT GUY!"

"Mr. Mason took the time to hear the facts about my case. He provided excellent counsel and was spot on with how he felt the case would go. If you need a reliable, honest, and personable attorney that will be on your side then Mr. Mason should be your first call!"
