I highly recommend Bill Makler to anyone in need of legal assistance, particularly veterans. Bill is a true expert in working with Veterans Court and has extensive experience handling legal issues specific to veterans. He works out of Santa Barbara County, and from the start, he was the only attorney who took the time to speak with me directly. Bill is professional, compassionate, and transparent, always making sure I understood my options and what to expect. His rates were fair, and he achieved an outstanding result by getting my case dismissed. On top of that, his team is excellent – they are incredibly responsive, typically getting back to me either the same day or the following business day. I’m beyond grateful for Bill’s expertise and the support from his staff. For any veteran seeking legal help in Santa Barbara County, I strongly recommend reaching out to Bill Makler!

I am so thankful I decided to have Mr. Makler represent me in my criminal and then civil case. He and his legal team put experience and skill to work for me and after getting my charges lowered, he ultimately succeeded in having my case completely thrown out with all charges dropped. Not only did I get the desired end result, but Mr. Makler and his team were patient, and supportive throughout the process. Mr. Makler saw that the charges against me were ridiculous and that I was not guilty of any infraction. He compiled and presented the evidence including security camera footage and once the facts were clearly seen, the case was dropped. Thank you Mr. Makler for fighting for me and ensuring the true facts were visible to the justice system.

In the beginning of my journey of fighting this criminal charge, I was stuck with a public defender who, for the lack of a better word, was useless. After him, I got transferred to a different public defender who was very lackluster and dismissive. That is when I made the decision to search for a better alternative. Bill came highly praised and after our first conversation he gave me a few options that would result in my case being dismissed. Those options were never even mentioned by my prior attorneys. I will be forever grateful for what himself, Tony and the rest of their team did for me and my life. The initial deliberation between paying a private attorney (which is, by the way, more affordable than I initially anticipated) or sticking with a public one ended up being worth it in the end. I would do this all over again in a heartbeat, if I had to. Highly recommend their services. They are super attentive, responsive, diligent, professional, and in the upper echelon of their craft.
