When we first hired Bill, we knew nothing about him. Being in trouble with the law for the first time, it was a very stressful situation. Bill did an excellent job, he was first-class in all aspects of our case and was able to work with the D.A. and judge to get the best possible scenario for our situation. When meeting him, you can tell he is passionate about his work and gives his clients his 110%. Bill is incredibly knowledgeable about the law and he works hard to ensure his clients are well informed and well represented in court. He goes above and beyond to help people and he is professional and confident in the court room. Thanks a lot Bill! You made a difficult time more bearable with your invaluable expertise, knowledge and personal attention.

Bill O'Connell is a very knowledgable lawyer that puts integrity first. He helped me through a DUI in 2008 when I had moved out of the state of California, and made the process simple and painless. Thank you Bill for your hard work on my behalf.

I feel this lawyer would be good pick for anyone who finds him/her-self in legal trouble. Going into this whole thing I had had no idea what was going to happen and Bill made it clear how all of it was going work and what he felt he could do to get me a verdict that didn’t ruin my life and that he and I could live with. Let me tell you I got off pretty damn easy the DA wanted cook me but he tossed reason into the courtroom, into a place where reason some times is never shown. Thanks Bill, best wishes to you and your family. Pick him if you don’t want to sit in jail.

Mr. O'Connell represented me last summer on two separate cases -- DUI and Felony Commercial Burglary, Possession of Burglar's Tools. He successfully pleaded the DUI to a Wet & Reckless (BAC 0.10) and he was able to have all burglary related charges dismissed prior to trial. This was the best case scenario outcome that I could have hoped for, and his rates are very reasonable.

Bill O'connel is a great attorney and helped me have my probation ended early due to it affecting my career. My original attorney I do not feel was as helpful as Bill was. He is very professional and has a great since of humor. I would recommend Bill to anyone looking for an excellent attorney.

I had a case filed by the city against me which stemmed from a bitter old neighbor who filed a police report against me. Not only was Bill very affordable, he immediately began working on my case! I had never had anything like this happen to me, so he really took the time and explained every step to me in laymen's terms, really took me by the hand and made me feel like he really cared! The case was resolved favorably without me ever having to leave home!! If you want a lawyer who will ease your nerves immediately, who will take your case and treat you like family, this is your guy! Not ONCE did I ever have an issue reaching him with silly questions, day or night he was there for me! Thanks Bill!!

I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a lot of lawyers. In this case, I was in unfamiliar territory as it dealt with a criminal contempt matter. I contacted Bill and he handled it very quickly, professionally and got a good result. He was always direct,worked quickly , and did a great job with the situation in court. I highly recommend Bill. One of the best lawyers I have dealt with, and should the need arise, he is the lawyer I will turn too for help.

I was very worried about a receiving a third strike, and not being treated fairly because of my history. Mr. O’Connell did a great job creating a balance that the prosecution would accept and that would also be fair to me.

I could not have chosen a better lawyer to deal with my DUI case. With so many options out there, choosing a lawyer can feel intimidating and overwhelming. I am so grateful that I went with Mr. O'Connell. I was involved with a pretty dramatic DUI case, William O'Connell went above and beyond to help me out and make sure I got the best deal. I could not have asked for better representation.

I contacted O'Connell to help with my case. He was very knowledgeable and had a very convenient office location in downtown San Diego right by the court house. He charged me a very reasonable rate for his services compared to the various other lawyers I contacted beforehand. I was very pleased by the outcome and I know I can attribute it to his work.

Confident, knowledgeable, highly professional, and a very approachable attorney. He has a high level of attention to his clients and made the process a smooth and pleasant journey, and has always replied in a timely manner. He kept me in the loop and was able to fill me in on details. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a juvenile attorney.

Bill is a very experienced criminal defense lawyer. Upon our first consultation, he explained exactly what I was being charged with, the possible outcomes, and how the rest of the legal process would play out. When there was a bureaucratic mistake that resulted in an outstanding warrant for my arrest, Bill noticed and took care of it before he even notified me of what happened. He was able to negotiate a very reasonable plea bargain and produce a sentencing that did not include any time in custody. My family and I are very grateful to him and would not hesitate to use his services again. Thanks Bill!
