Makler Law Delivers !!! Bill and his team are on it. I regret that I put myself in this situation and they made it easy and manageable to negotiate all of the pieces and parts and help keep me on point to move through this with grace. Thank You all for your hard work!!!
Handled my matter effectively, answered all my questions, and his whole office was always very professional and responsive. Hope you never need him, but highly recommended if you do.
Thank you for your collaborative work with programs. Much appreciated.
I was referred to the Law Offices of William Makler by a friend and feel that I would be doing a disservice by not referring him to others.
Right away, Bill helped set my mind at ease about my case and I knew I was in good hands. He assisted me and remained in contact every step of the way, until my case was resolved. Most importantly, he helped achieve the best possible outcome I could have hoped for.
I cannot fail to mention the extremely helpful, friendly staff that work with Bill. They always answered my phone calls and were willing to assist with any questions or concerns I had.
I am so glad that I went with Bill as my lawyer and cannot recommend him and his team highly enough.

The most fantastic lawyer. I couldn't be more satisfied with his professionalism and knowledge and care.
I highly recommend Bill Makler to anyone in need of legal assistance, particularly veterans. Bill is a true expert in working with Veterans Court and has extensive experience handling legal issues specific to veterans. He works out of Santa Barbara County, and from the start, he was the only attorney who took the time to speak with me directly. Bill is professional, compassionate, and transparent, always making sure I understood my options and what to expect.
His rates were fair, and he achieved an outstanding result by getting my case dismissed. On top of that, his team is excellent – they are incredibly responsive, typically getting back to me either the same day or the following business day. I’m beyond grateful for Bill’s expertise and the support from his staff. For any veteran seeking legal help in Santa Barbara County, I strongly recommend reaching out to Bill Makler!

Mr. Makler helped me with a traffic related issue. He was available for a consultation when I placed the initial call. I appreciated being able to speak to him directly and discuss the issue. He went over how he could represent me and I appreciated how direct yet empathetic he was with how the situation transpired. During the long process, I was able to reach out to Mr. Makler and his staff when I had questions and they always got back to me in a timely matter. I would recommend Mr. Makler to others who need representation in traffic related stops with law enforcement. My case was dismissed and I appreciate all the work that was done. I thought his rates were reasonable and the case management system they use made it easy to keep track of everything. Thank you!
Bill was clear and to the point and helped navigate the dmv process with ease.
Great representation with a positive outcome! Communication was easy and very straight forward.
Thank you!
Thank you!
I am so thankful I decided to have Mr. Makler represent me in my criminal and then civil case. He and his legal team put experience and skill to work for me and after getting my charges lowered, he ultimately succeeded in having my case completely thrown out with all charges dropped. Not only did I get the desired end result, but Mr. Makler and his team were patient, and supportive throughout the process. Mr. Makler saw that the charges against me were ridiculous and that I was not guilty of any infraction. He compiled and presented the evidence including security camera footage and once the facts were clearly seen, the case was dropped. Thank you Mr. Makler for fighting for me and ensuring the true facts were visible to the justice system.
very knowledgeable, this guy knows his stuff! he was quick to reply, and also gave recommendations for family lawyers. Not only that but he seemed honest and wasn't trying to make me pay extra money for my situation. He put me at ease so 5/5 would recommend!! Go to this guy
William and his team are were very helpful. I took his immediate recommendation and the problems went away. 10/10 recommended fast and helpful

I was driving home from a party after drinking a few glasses of wine. I thought I was fine, but was stopped for driving too slowly. I answered the police officer honestly and told him I had some wine. He gave me a breathalyzer which I failed. Then the nightmare began. I would have never, ever been able to navigate the many and very complicated steps that follow a DUI if not for Bill Makler. Thank goodness I hired him to shepherd me through the process. My advice to any one who reads this is to never drink and drive. Take an Uber. But should you ever find yourself with a DUI, hire the Law Offices of William C. Makler. You will be very happy you did. He has over 27 years of experience of helping people with DUIs, and when you are dealing with one, you definitely want someone with that kind of experience in your corner!
Extremely dedicated team, great lines of communication, always quick to respond to all my questions; very professional and well worth the rate. Highly recommend.
William took care of me with professionalism and efficiency. I highly recommend if you're in need of help! Thank you guys!
In the winter of 2024, I was unjustly charged and threatened by serious consequences. Mr. Makler spent many months litigating my charges and reduced them to almost nothing. Bill, as he is called, was diligent, well-organized, communicative, and empathetic. He never stopped fighting for me in a prolonged battle. His fees are reasonable and he earns every penny by his dedicated attention to detail. He is a remarkable lawyer and he saved my life. I will always be indebted to him for his kindnesses.
I retained Mr. Makler to assist when my son was inappropriately charged with a violation. He is extremely knowledgeable and a very good advocate for his clients. We were kept up to date throughout the matter, and always received answers to any questions quickly. All charges were dismissed.
In the beginning of my journey of fighting this criminal charge, I was stuck with a public defender who, for the lack of a better word, was useless. After him, I got transferred to a different public defender who was very lackluster and dismissive. That is when I made the decision to search for a better alternative. Bill came highly praised and after our first conversation he gave me a few options that would result in my case being dismissed. Those options were never even mentioned by my prior attorneys. I will be forever grateful for what himself, Tony and the rest of their team did for me and my life. The initial deliberation between paying a private attorney (which is, by the way, more affordable than I initially anticipated) or sticking with a public one ended up being worth it in the end. I would do this all over again in a heartbeat, if I had to. Highly recommend their services. They are super attentive, responsive, diligent, professional, and in the upper echelon of their craft.
