Client Testimonials
“I own a business that was started by my family 35 years ago. My now ex-husband had decided that he wanted to fight me for this business, and I was referred to William Pope. I can’t express how fantastic and professional Bill is. He was kind and accommodating to my needs, and was always quick to respond if I had a question. I would recommend the team of attorney’s to anyone needing legal help in their areas of expertise!” – Tish H
“I am not sure how I would have survived the past four years without Bill Pope of Budd Bay Law. He sets the bar for legal knowledge, skills and experience. He was invested in me and my girls. He has so much knowledge and experience. My divorce was very complex with a family business involved. He went above and beyond to do the research that was needed for a successful settlement.
I felt so supported. He guided me and was invested in my future. He was an amazing balance of empathy and fight when needed. I without hesitation recommend Bill Pope of Bud Bay Law if you have’ a complex case and need an intelligent, articulate and empathic person on your team. He is the best.” – Shauna E.
“Budd Bay Law. A great group of lawyers. I have worked against each of them individually as I am a retired lawyer and they are all exceptionally skilled. When I needed a lawyer, that’s who I hired.. Highly recommended” -Joseph W.
