Bill is a legend in Connecticut Criminal Defense circles. He is a remarkable trial attorney who I have had the privilege of sitting next to at counsel table. You can’t go wrong by hiring Bill for any State or Federal Criminal Matter.

Excellent Attorney at a reasonable cost

Attorney Paetzold was worth every penny that he was paid and performed like I paid him millions. He was very reasonable and delivered the best possible outcome that I should of received. I would highly recommend him for any criminal case. Very knowledgeable of criminal law and the way to deal with the prosecutor and the court system. A very good attorney that was reachable at all times and responded to every concern that I had.

I was lucky to have met Bill

I want to share what I wrote to Bill below the day after my sentencing. All I can say is Bill is much more than an attorney and he has set the bar high. Hey Bill Thank you so much for yesterday and being a true support through this process. I don’t think I would have gotten through this with out your constant support and help, you are a true gentleman and one of the fairest people I have ever met. I can never repair you for being who you are. Thank you, my wife thanks you, my boys thank you as does my family. I kept telling my wife that it would be a huge relief and today would be so much better as you told me and it is certainly true.

Incredible Attorney Who Truly Cares for His Clients

After getting slapped with misdemeanor arrest, I decided to hire Attorney Bill Paeztold. He did a phenomenal job from start to finish, as I was able to get my case dismissed in a timely manner. He did everything he absolutely needed to do and I am very fortunate to have had an attorney like him represent me. If you’re looking for an attorney who is responsive, respected, and caring for his clients, then Attorney Bill Paeztold is the perfect fit. I highly recommend him!

Attorney William Paetzold is the Man!

I cannot thank him enough for his help in resolving my son’s Department of Motor Vehicle/License Suspension/Court case. He was professional, kind and always available to answer my questions. He kept me “in the loop” every time he received information and I did not have to wait and wonder. He went above and beyond expectations. I am grateful for his experience and expertise. I would highly recommend Attorney Paetzold.

On Top of the Task, Well Respected and Compassionate

William Paetzold was recommended to us by friends as an experienced criminal attorney. From the first meeting, we were impressed by his understanding of our unfamiliar case, his unparalleled knowledge of criminal law and mastery of the Connecticut court system. We could only be more impressed down the road by the respect he commands from judges and peers. While being honest, clear and quite blunt in explaining what the case may entail, Bill is a very compassionate attorney who would always work hard for the best possible outcome of a case. We have found in him a friend and a needed support in such difficult circumstances; he will definitely remain a reference for us and our recommendation to friends who may be in need of such services.

First Rate Lawyer. First Rate Guy

I cannot say enough about Bill Paetzold re: his defense of our teenage son. After being told by another attorney that the situation would be grim, we jumped over to Bill after he was recommended to us by a friend who used to work as a lawyer in the area. Our son received quite a bit of community service (which was good – he needed a consequence) but in the end, the case was dismissed, so there will be no long-term consequences hanging over his head as he goes forward. So, yes, Bill is a wonderful attorney. But just as impressive, he is an incredibly kind and caring man. Our son had never been in any trouble but, because of one very foolish decision, he found himself in serious trouble. Bill was honest and straight-forward with all of us, but remained attentive and compassionate as well. He gave our son a bit of a talking to about his future (which I loved!) but was never condescending toward him. Our son listened hard as he respected Bill immediately. When it was all over, Bill sent a partial refund because he hadn’t logged all the hours we’d paid for in the initial retainer. First rate lawyer. First rate guy.

Professional, honest and caring lawer.

Mr. Paetzold is not only a highly professional lawer with a great experience and wide area of expertise but most of all he trully cares about his clients. Apearing before a judge to most people is a very distressing and frightening experience.( As it was to me). Mr. Paetzold made me feel calm and confident. He patiently answered all my questions, taking his time and presenting all the options I had. He’s devoted, enthusiastic and hardworking. This whole case was a true nightmare. Yet Mr. Paetzold handled the case so well, that it was DISMISSED. I will be forever grateful. When it comes to payment he is very honest and reasonable. He won’t overcharge you. I cannot thank him enough.

I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Paetzold and I worked on a significant matter involving hundreds of burglaries in multiple states by one client in both federal and state court. He is hard working, knowledgeable, professional and experienced in criminal defense. He did an excellent job in getting a very good outcome for our mutual client. The client was very pleased with the outcome.
