* Former client: "I just wanted to send a note, thanking you for making the most difficult point in my life a little easier. I appreciate you working with me on the retainer amount and having patience because I know, at times, the other party was frustrating. Thanks again! I'm glad my 1st 'hiring an attorney' experience was great." - Veronica
* Former client: "This letter is to express my heart-felt appreciation for all your help during my case. Everything went smoothly during and after the trial, as Mr. Fuhrman and your staff planned.

Attorney Bill Furhman is the lawyer you want to represent you. He has guided me through the grueling process of a divorce. If he cant answer your question on the spot he will go above and beyond to find the answer for you. I strongly recommend Bill Furhman and his staff. Thank you Bill Furhman

One word quickly comes to mind when I think of Mr. Fuhrman
.integrity. He is an honest, hard-working, knowledgable and well-respected man. Going through a divorce is a very painful process and by having the support of him and his staff, I never lost hope. Unlike most attorneys, Bill is quick to return e-mails and phone calls. As busy as this man is, I never felt unimportant. My divorce was ugly and messy but with Bill's direction it was completed in an efficient and timely manner. I have referred more than half a dozen people to Bill in just a two year span and he has never not lived up to or exceeded their expectations. What I came away believing after working with Bill and his associate attorney, Michele Vallat (who is beyond incredible) is justice does prevail.

I cant say enough about Mr. Fuhrman and his staff (Thanks Val and Morgan!). These great people are knowledgeable, timely, thorough, ethical, caring, and very well respected by the commissioner handling my case. Ive never seen the commissioner pay so much respect to an attorney as Mr. Fuhrman, possibly admiration. This is HUGE. All I can say is
retain them before the opposing side does.
