I don’t know what Bill has done, as he decided to call the opposing counsel before even making anything official after our initial call. He got back to me a few hours later, stating he “may have paved a way to a settlement that will satisfy”, to which, this alone completely blows me away! I still have yet to hear about the terms, but for the 1st time, in a long alone battle, I may have encountered one of my guardian angels on earth. Bill is a realistic counselor, but he listened to the heart of my matter, no matter the difficulties that might surround it, and really wanted to incorporate what is sacred to me, as a possibility. He’s not just extensively versed in the law in many ways, but sees the humanity in it all as well. All this with a sense of humor. I can’t wait to find out what he has to say when we speak next week!

Bill was honest and to the point. His realistic approach and advice were sound. Bills expertise really was present as we had our conversation.

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.

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.

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
