Bill was such a great help in my case and was able to work his magic to get me the best possible outcome I could have hoped for. He was very friendly and his overall demeanor made the situation feel more manageable and greatly reduced my anxiety about the issue. I can’t thank him enough.

Thank you so much for all your help.

Mr. Makler is a tenacious attorney who doesn't back down. You need him on your side.

Bill and his staff are great. Always responsive when I have a question. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Bill has been great in representing me in an ongoing case. He is sharp, attentive to detail and doesn't miss a thing. I'm very satisfied with his work thus far and highly recommend him to all of my friends.

Bill is incredible at job and would definitely recommend him!

I am a woman living in Switzerland and I had some questions about my vacation in California. Fortunately I contacted Bill and told him about my concerns and he gave me a very helpful and calming respond.
Thank you very much Mister Makler for being so friendly :)

Bill settled an old case for me that could have caused problems. He Went above and beyond the call of duty to have the case expunged and the records removed. Bill and his team were great to deal with.

amazing lawyer

Bill was amazing in assisting my partner and I with a serious legal problem(Felony) in Santa Barbara area. He was extraordinarily patient
with me and made him self available even on his days off when his office was closed. I don't live in the area but he made it possible for us to meet and/or communicate via email, text, phone. I appreciated his flexibility to maintain open communication of the case. He showed me he sincerely cares for people and not just the money. He did what no other attorney would before even being signed on and payed: He offered to visit my partner in court and discuss a possible defense! My partner described him like 007 walking in to the court the first time... has a bit of Clark Kent meshed in with 007 lol.

Like a true 007 Bill said he would fight for him and he did fight! My partner served 1 year in county and then was released. If it had not been for Bill he could have been in jail for 8+ years maybe even life. He not only free my partner but reunited a family and brought him home to our daughter. I can honestly say Bill is the best choice for representation in legal matters in the Santa Barbara area, I highly recommend him.

I actually have never written a review on anything, but I am doing this because i wish I had read this before selecting an attorney for my DUI case. All Makler's reviews painted home out to be this Dui law efficienado. That wasnt the case for me. He, beyond being rude as hell and completely condescending, was completely relying on his relationship with the DA and the judge ( who didnt seem to like him more than myself), rather than having an actual gumption of the Ca or DMV law. Save yourself and please look elsewhere if you think you have a case. Otherwise Bill is your guy and you may as well plead guilty now.

Bill is a very special attorney who is thoroughly versed in the law. His response rate is exceptional and his ability to ask the right questions and solve the issues proved very comforting to me and my case.

I seen first hand the relationship Bill has with the DA's office and the court. He advocates for his clients and gets results. There is a reason why he is one of Santa Barbara's best.

I highly recommend the Law Offices of William C. Makler.

Best lawyer I could have asked for. I received some quite excessive charges almost a year ago that truly scared me to pieces, but Bill was able to greatly reduce the charges to the more appopriate charges. He's a very intelligent, devoted, hard-working lawyer that was there for me at all times and went the extra mile. I've never had someone work for me who've I've respected more. If anything ever happens again, I tuly hope that's not the case haha, I would definitely use him again.
