DENTIST FOUND NOT GUILTY OF DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
A dentist was stopped for failure to signal a turn at an intersection, at 9:00PM one night. He had just left his friend's house, where he visited for approximately 90 minutes, over which time he had consumed one and a half beers. Because the officer who stopped him smelled alcohol on his breath and because the client was so nervous while being asked to walk heel-to-toe on the side of the road at night, he was arrested for, and charged with, Operating Under the Influence.
Verdict: Finding of Not Guilty. Extensive cross-examination proved no evidence of alcohol-related impairment at time of arrest.

COLLEGE STUDENT CHARGED WITH RAPE OF FEMALE STUDENT
A college senior was accused of rape of a female classmate, who said she was raped by the client. Pre-trial investigation and extensive cross-examination at trial proved that the sex had been consensual, and that the accuser fabricated the story to save face with her very religious parents and family, who had learned of her sexual involvement with the client.
Verdict: Finding of Not Guilty

HUSBAND CHARGED WITH ASSAULT AND BATTERY ON WIFE
A husband (the client) and his wife were in the process of divorcing, and became engaged in a heated argument one night. When trying to leave the house, the wife blocked the client's exit at the front door. The client brushed his wife aside so he could exit the house. The wife later filed a criminal complaint with the local Police Department, alleging Assault and Battery by the client. While the client did not assault or batter the wife, if convicted he could have lost custody and/or visitation rights to his three children, as well as suffered a criminal record.
Verdict: Not Guilty

Client Reviews
★★★★★
When I was arrested for DUI, I was absolutely terrified. Had it not been for you, I might have been convicted of something I was not at all guilty of. My work life, my family life, my reputation, all could have been destroyed. You stood by me like the legal version of a bodyguard - and because of you, I was found not guilty. G.M.
★★★★★
When we got the call that our son had been arrested and charged with rape, we almost fainted. We know our son. He is not violent; he has never abused anyone, let alone another girl… If not for you and your "take no prisoners" attitude, our son might have been convicted of a crime that would have sent him to state prison. As far as we're concerned, our son owes you his life, and we owe you the world. We will never forget you. A.H. and P.H.
★★★★★
I hired Mr. William D. Kickham for a very important legal issue and I was extremely satisfied by the results. His in depth knowledge about the matter and his intelligent thinking was extremely beneficial. He is really an expert. He was also very supportive and sensitive towards my concerns. It was great to have a lawyer of his capacity. Thanks William for all the Help. N.G.
★★★★★
Atty. Kickham defended me on a charge of raping my girlfriend, who made up the whole story out of revenge because I was interested in someone else. If it weren’t for Attorney Kickham proving me innocent, God knows what might have happened to me. Z.B.
★★★★★
Mr. Kickham represented me on a trumped-up charge of domestic violence. The prosecutor and police wouldn’t back down, even after my spouse told them it was all untrue. They insisted on taking me to trial, and Mr. Kickham never wavered. He was my legal bodyguard, and I was found not guilty. M.B.
★★★★★
Of the many talents Atty. Kickham has, two are these: 1) He is ten times as persuasive as the best lawyer you’ve seen in the movies; and 2) Nothing - but nothing - gets by him. The police arrested me on completely false drug charges, and after a heated courtroom battle, Atty. Kickham won the day. Trust me, it was no surprise. D.C.
★★★★★
Because I mildly disciplined my child for throwing a tantrum, I was actually charged with child abuse. It was horrifying. Atty. Kickham fought for me tooth and nail, until I was declared not guilty. One hell of a lawyer. D.D.
★★★★★
I complimented a co-worker on her looks and patted her on the back as I did so. Two hours later, the police showed up and accused me of indecent assault & battery. From the day I hired him, Atty. Kickham fought the DA’s office until the charges were dropped. If not for him, my life would have been ruined. A.K.
