My attorney recommeded that Mr. Wigoda assist with my case and I was completely unaware of his reputation, but based on my experience, I would heed the warnings and poor ratings listed here. He is untrustworthy and self-serving!

I can't count the number of times Bill would tell me something I wanted to hear and follow it up with, "If you ever repeat it I will deny I ever said it." This man has no ethics, deviously creates turmoil and seems to have serious issues with women. Bill will email and meet with you, charge you for it, then send a long letter in the mail 'opining' over an issue and charges you for that as well. Everything you have read on this site is accurate. This man has no business representing children.

Would you trust your matter to a guy who has been censored by the ARDC - 2x? Would you trust your matter to a guy who has several tax liens (in excess if $240,000) against him? Would you trust your matter to a guy who is so focused on billings and himself that he will do whatever he can to serve himself before the needs of your matter? If these were all true, would you trust matter to a guy like this? Fabricates issues, not solution oriented, creates opportunity after opportunity to prolong the matter and overbill and does valueless, illegal and duplicative work. Bill is the biggest jag off, bully, money grubber I ever met. I would not go near this guy with a 10 ft pole!!!!

Better by far than these reviews suggest. Bill is expensive, but worth it. Has worked tirelessly on my difficult case with a litigious ex for years and got me to a good settlement every time. I'm male and raising my kid the majority of the time. Good place to be. Very available and responsive.

I agree with others comments. In addition to what was said above, in my opinion, he fabricates issues, creates unnecessary conflict, acts outside of his statuory scope and is unnecessarily combative (especially when you don't agree with him). In my opinion, he does have the best interest of kids in mind, unfortunately they are HIS kids. He never misses an opportunity to overbill and act outside his role and then threaten and taunt you when you disagree. I have spent more $$$ paying for Bill and his meddling than I have on my own lawyers. He should be removed as a child rep. In my opinion, he is abusive, adds no value, inserts himself where he is not needed and worse not allowed to be and is using the veil of IL law to support his otherwise fledging law practice. Avoid him at all costs. In my opinion he is a wolf in sheeps clothing.

William Wigoda is only interested in getting PAID! He represented my children and when I could not pay him as a result of having to move, he filed motions for contempt of court against me. I asked him to withdraw as a result of not being able to pay him, and he refused (said he was "at the pleasure of Judge Miranda") He did not make it known to any party how much he was charging ($395 per hour) until he sent out his bills. He sends out paper letters after paper letters and charges for his time to write them. The majority of what he does is writing letters. When asked to lower his rate and stop writing so many letters, he produced his "resume" attempting to validate his reasoning for charging so much. He has been disciplined twice already ( http://www.iardc.org/ldetail.asp?id=1... ). He told me that he would have this case wrapped up in 3 weeks. Now it has been 8 months and 10K dollars later. This has been an absolute nightmare!!! Never ever hire him!!! BEWARE!!!
