Bill took my call personally and called me right back in 10 minutes like he said he would. I was very appreciative of the advice he offered. Great guy to talk to
William G Cherbonnier Jr is not only a great experienced lawyer, but also excellent human who has passion to help people. I was in trouble about my wife’s medical bill which we had never been claimed for 2 years because the hospital where my wife was hospitalized had sent the bill to the wrong address. It was too late to file a claim to the insurance company at that time due to their policy which accepts a claim within 18 month after service is provided. The hospital’s billing department told me that I was responsible for entire bill even though they had sent the bill wrong address. I was really upset and depressed about why I had to pay the bill even though I had health insurance. Then I had an opportunity to talk to William G Cherbonnier Jr. He consulted my case and encouraged to fight, so I decided not to pay. After I received a document from a debt collector, I visited him again. He let me in his office without an appointment, looked at the document and called them. After hanging up, he said that they wouldn’t call me again and they stopped me in fact. He didn’t charge anything from me. Only he requested to me was inviting him to the restaurant where I work which I willing to do it. After all I was really lucky and happy to meet This Excellent lawyer William G Cherbonnier Jr. . If someone need help, I strongly recommend William G Cherbonnier Jr. He deserves more than 5 stars.
Bill and his staff treated me with dignity. I had a mess with a partner and several properties. He showed me how to save the good ones and get rid of the distressed one. In one phone call he backed off my partners attorney and negotiated a settlement. Hire him. He is competent and a good guy to boot. R
The moment you meet and sit with Mr. Bill you realize that you are in the right place . It took me less than couple of minutes to know that I am going to hire him. One of the smartest moves that I have taken. An honest attorney is rare to find. I will recommend Mr.Bill without hesitation. His office staff are great and you sense the ease atmosphere in their firm.
Attorney William G. Cherbonnier is an experienced New Orleans based attorney who proved to me he is a genuine consumer advocate. My family and I were displaced during Hurricane Katrina. We suffered tremendous loses. During a series of unfortunate events we lost our New Orleans home to a bank, I will not name. Now, in 2019, the statute of limitations has expired on a particular 2006 debt I defaulted on during the Housing crisis of 2008. I called several law firms and attorneys seeking someone to represent me to have the debt canceled because the six-year statute of limitations has expired. It was frustrating. No attorney would give me the time of day unless I put up a retainer first. They gave the impression they couldn’t be bothered because there wasn’t enough profit in defending my rights as a consumer. Now, I’m not saying all attorneys are greedy, but the ones I spoke to left me with that impression. Then, I made a cold call to Mr. Cherbonnier’s office. He answered the phone, asked a few questions, then proceeded over the next 30 minutes to help me better understand my legal position and the pros and cons of my case. He was very generous with his deep knowledge and his valuable time. I had been under a tremendous amount of stress. Just speaking with someone about my problem that was so generous, kind and professional, gave me hope. Although I didn’t hire him—he said he’d love to take my case but his expenses traveling back and forth to my Parish would only add to my costs unnecessarily—he advised me instead to seek an attorney in the Parish where I live. Also, local relationships can be very important in some cases. Nevertheless, if I’m ever in need of an attorney in New Orleans, William G. Cherbonnier will be my first call. Trust that most lawyers would rather represent big banks. However, William G. Cherbonnier is an advocate for the average family. I highly recommend him!
I would love to take the time to thank, this very experience professional kind man. He is the best Attorney i have every meet, very helpful he takes his time a expand everything to you. Never rush you out of his office . I would highly recommend him to anyone whose in need of a very great Personal injury or Bankruptcy and debt ,Foreclosure.
I consulted Mr. Cherbonnier regarding a difficult situation with my aging parent. He was extremely understanding and compassionate and gave me direction and hope. I would recommend him to anyone.
I contacted William Cherbonnier because I was getting calls from what I thought was a debt collector and within minutes Mr. Cherbonnier found out that it was a scam and got my number removed from the call list. I was ready to start making payments to this collection agency and William Cherbonnier saved me thousands of dollars. He is definitely the type of lawyer you want and need. I will highly recommend William Cherbonnier. From Gisevius Family
The honesty and integrity of Bill Cherbonnier is unbelievable in today’s world but my free consultation in opening a succession would have cost me $2500 unrefundable had I hired the several attorneys I called prior to contacting Bill Cherbonnier. Bill was the only attorney who went above and beyond in my free consultation, that checked with the Court to see if a succession on my fathers estate had been open and it had open and possession was granted. He could had taken my $2500 and then told me this information but I thank him for his honesty because the other attorneys chose not to check with the Court before their retainer was paid in full. The gesture of honesty proved that all attorneys aren’t in it just for the money but truly care about the people they serve. Thanks again Bill - Sacramento CA
If you want the best of the best then I highly suggest Bill Cherbonnier. He and his team are experts in many fields of law. My experience with this firm far exceeded my expectations. I felt like I was being helped by my best friend rather than just some lawyer. He expended almost an hour to settle my issues in the first consultation for free. If in the future I ever need legal representation, I will keep going back to Bill Cherbonnier. I highly recommend Bill, you will not be disappointed.
