Bill was honest, up front, and patient. He put me at ease, was available when I needed him, and answered all my questions throughout the process. He told me what he thought would happen, so I knew what to expect. Bill was thorough and well prepared when we went to court- much more than the opposing counsel- and it paid off for me. I ended up coming out better than what I'd anticipated. I credit that victory to the grace of God, and a good attorney! I feel blessed to have had Bill on my side.

I met Bill Fortino when I was at a difficult cross road in my life. His professionalism, combined with unwaivering compassion gave me a sense of assurance as I was going through the "process" of divorce. Bill was not only my legal counsel, but often times, simply a voice of reason when things got a bit difficult. His legal representation was excellent and I have, and will continue to, recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of a lawyer for family matters.

Mr Fortino is an amazing attorney, I was referred to him for DSS child custody. He fought endlessly and tirelessly to bring my step grand-daughter home. He got her out of foster care and placed with me and got me full permanent custody of her. He highly exceeded my expectations and worked non-stop for my baby. He is a very sincere and honest attorney and truly does care about his clients. He answered any and all questions I had and the process and was always available to me when I needed it.

ETHICS! I came in worrying that this would be a situation that is nothing more than trying to slam my Ex-wife into oblivion. I didn't want this at all. He made it clear that his ethics would not allow the terrible fears I had of unethical behavior be a part of this. He answered the call at all hours, surprising me at times, with his work schedule. When things got pretty bad on the other end he was a true fighter. I got much better than expected due to his abilities. I HIGHLY recommend Bill!

Mr. Fortino has been my legal counsel for some years now. I must say that the service he provides is excellent and top notch at best. I have no worries when he is handling professional legal affairs for me because he is fastidious in his work. I couldn't ask for better counsel.
