Client Testimonials
“I was referred to Bill Fanjoy by my father; a retired Supreme Court judge and former divorce attorney. Bill guided me through one of the most difficult and stressful times of my life. He responded to my emails and phone calls in a very timely manner! I was very pleased with the outcome of my separation agreement. He was very firm with my ex husbands lawyer and never caved in. I have and will continue to recommend Bill.”

“Bill helps the client understand what is needed to complete the proper documentation and he explains the legal processes that often are not understood, which is especially important when a client has no prior experience with the court system. He has kept me informed and updated and considered my responses, while continually keeping the process moving forward in a productive and fair manner. The staff are kind and supportive and assist with the required work needed in order for Bill to continue with the legal process. I believe they are a knowledgeable and efficient team. I would not hesitate to recommend Bill to other clients.”

“Relationship breakdowns are pretty emotional events and mine certainly was for me. I wanted a lawyer who excelled in family law issues but wasn’t an aggressive shark, and someone who exhibited a bit of compassion. Bill Fanjoy was recommended to me by a Superior Court judge who thought highly of his legal skills and his qualities as a decent human being. I also endorse those qualities.
Bill doesn’t waste words and gets ideas and thoughts conveyed succinctly. He writes well and persuasively. He explains procedures and prepares his client. He is generally available and prompt in responding. While court wasn’t necessary, mediation proved to be an effective avenue to employ some unique strategy in achieving final resolution.
I would recommend Bill Fanjoy without reservation to anyone who is seeking competent representation, fairly priced.”

“As a Master of Social Work, for over three decades I have worked in the Family Law arena addressing the well-being of children whose parents are embroiled in custody access disputes. I have served as a counselor, assessor and mediator. Over these years I have worked with many lawyers—putting forth their professional best efforts on behalf of their clients—at times somewhat forcefully if not aggressively so. While such can be expected within such highly contested and emotional situations—I have come to respect those legal practitioners who avoid posturing and a “winning at all cost” stance—and instead responsibly focus upon their knowledge of Family Law while not losing site of the well-being of children. I have come to respect legal professionals who possess the awareness that the family on behalf of the children must and will continue, long after divorce proceedings have concluded.
Mr. William Fanjoy, is a lawyer whom I have witnessed to responsibly represent his clients with focused acuity—and vigour—while assuredly maintaining his integrity. Mr. Fanjoy, it is most apparent, is aware of the difference between “grandstanding” and “cutting to the chase” regarding a contentious matter—on behalf of reaching responsible and enduring resolution. I have not ever witnessed Mr. Fanjoy sacrifice the well-being of the involved children in his quest to represent his clients.
Should a parent facing the process of separation and divorce be seeking a forthright, learned, erudite, and principled Family Law lawyer—Mr. Fanjoy is such a lawyer.”
