Victories of William K. Bulmer II
The list below is intended only as a sample
of prior victories. My aggressive and thorough approach is
responsible for getting charges dismissed or dropped in many
cases, and my successful negotiations have greatly reduced the
maximum penalties faced by many of my clients.
The list is not intended as a guarantee of results in any future
case. The outcome in any individual case depends on the facts
and the law of that case.
