William J Macke & Associates

I was a client of William Macke. My case was a straight forward, uncontested, adoption case. The initial consultation went well, there were a few basic questions that he was unable to answer off hand, but that didn’t really bother me, too much, since he noted the questions and let me know that he would do research and get back to me right away. I was very patient and waited for his call back, to answer the open questions, as he said he would do. I waited almost 3 months without getting a call back. I finally called him back, and he was not available so I left a message. I waited another week without receiving a call back. I called again, and again had to leave a message, and was told he would call me back. I waited another week without hearing from him. I called back, again, and the person answering the phone apologized profusely and explained that she was not sure why he hasn’t called me back yet and would talk to him and have him call me back. I mentioned during the call, that, at this point, I really need to get things going, so if he is too busy with other things, please just let me know and I will go elsewhere. She assured me that he was not too busy to be able to take my case, and that I would hear from him in the next day or so. Well, a week later, I still didn’t hear from him. I finally had to give up on using William Macke as my attorney for this case. I was courteous enough to call his office again to let them know that I would have to use a different attorney, even though, he was not professional enough to return any of my calls or follow through with his promises. I would not recommend using William Macke as your attorney.
On a positive note, the person answering the phones is very friendly, professional, and polite.
