- AKAndrew KaiserAug 7, 20255.0I would not get another lawyer. He is not shady, he always has time for me when I stop by and has been super super fair when it comes to money.
- KAKatelyn AdamsAug 6, 20251.0If you’re in a custody or domestic violence case, I urge you to avoid hiring William Balkun. His actions — and inactions — put me and my children at serious risk. Despite being fully informed of my active protection order, Mr. Balkun filed court motions with my confidential home address and sent them directly to my abuser by email and mail. Even after I terminated him and reminded him that the protection order was listed in the NCIC system, he continued filing motions that disclosed my protected address. In court, when I referenced the protection order, it became painfully clear he had not even read my file. He appeared unfamiliar with basic facts I had already provided, and he did not review any of the evidence I submitted until after our court date. He also: • Failed to file emergency motions to protect me and my children • Failed to file the protection order with the court, despite being in possession of it • Failed to explain my legal options — which I only learned about through a free consultation with another attorney • Has ignored all follow-up emails where I requested clarification and a copy of my full client file His lack of preparation, communication, and accountability left me vulnerable and forced me to take over my case on my own to keep myself and my children safe. This was one of the most traumatic legal experiences of my life. If you’re seeking an attorney to advocate for your rights and protect your safety, especially in cases involving domestic violence or children, William Balkun is not that attorney.
- SSSweet StormsJul 9, 20255.0I can't thank Bill enough for his support and guidance throughout my divorce. From our first consultation, he was compassionate, honest, and clearly experienced. He explained the legal process in a way I could understand and always made sure I felt informed and prepared. What stood out most was his ability to help me stay calm and focused, even when things got emotional or complicated. He was responsive to my questions, respected my decisions, and fought for a fair outcome. I felt truly supported through one of the most difficult times in my life. If you're going through a divorce and need someone skilled, steady, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend William Balkun.
- MBMaria BarrattMay 30, 20251.0Would never recommend especially for women in crisis. Minimal communication does not even review statements, files last minute, doesn't even take time to listen and review cases. Not very professional not reliable. Gives false hope and makes victims feel revictimized.
- ARAussia ReedSep 4, 20145.0Very polite, intelligent and sharp attorney!! Not your average Joe, nor an ambulance chaser/$ hungry lawyer!!
