Took Care of Everything
Upon bringing my case to Mr. Olson, he gave me advice and listened to my side of the case. After accepting my case all I had to do was follow his instructions and the case got dismissed. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He charges an extremely fair and competitive price.

Very professional representation!
He is a very professional and courteous, and has very reasonable rates. He represented me in a divorce and legal cases. He helped me through a tough time in my life and did so with his best. He represented me in Clarke and Oglethorpe counties. Easily contacted and fast response for any questions I had. If I ever need an attorney again I'll definitely use Mr. Olsen. His office is in downtown Athens, Ga in the old Fred Building, with close up parking available for all and disabled. M

Excellent Attorney
Billy Olson did an awesome job for me. I was charged with family violence and if convicted would have lost my nursing license. Billy worked diligently to have the charge dropped. I would definitely recommend Billy Olson if you need an attorney!

Outstanding
I live out of state and I obtained Attorney Olson. I received a DUI and a open container. I was scared to death. Attorney Olson was very under standing and honest with me about the case. No fluff. The day of court he told me just to have a seat that he would try his best for me and man he did. He got the DUI dropped to wreck less driving and the open container dismissed. I was so grateful to him that I do know what to say. I read that its next to impossible to get a DUI dropped in the state of Georgia. He is very intelligent attorney with a great sense of humor. I thank God that I found him to be my attorney.

Felony probation case involving weapon/drug charge
I hired Mr.Olson to handle a probation violation and Felony charges I got in 2019 I was charged with possession of a firearm and possession of meth and Hydracodone while on felony probation VERY SERIOUS CHARGES especially on felony probation. He got me a bond and I was out less than a month and failed a drug screeen and was locked back up in short by the time I went to court He got me credit for time served on 115 days in jail and I was released immediately. He was fair in price and above and beyond what I was expecting. I didn't think I was going to see the light of day for a very long time .I have to say he will be the only Attorney I will use and would /will recommend him to anyone. For any legal reason at anytime .I am seriously impressed with his performance pertaining to my case you got me home to my kids quicker than I expected and for that I thank you definitely give him a call for any legal troubles or issues you may have.it

Phenomenal
We hired Mr. Olson to defend our daughter on some very serious felony charges. This was her first time ever being in trouble and she was looking at doing some very serious time in prison. She is a single mother of 3 children and prison was not an option. Mr. Olson was able to get our daughter a massive bond reduction with a condition of rehab (which we were able to finally afford). With that being said we were able to locate a faith based rehab that allowed our daughters children to come and be with her after 3 months of treatment. After several attempts of trying to negotiate with the ADA and after 4 months of her being in rehab, she was given a court date. Just when you begin to think that nothing more could be done and the fighting is over, Mr. Olson proves, yet again, he isn't done fighting. He was able to get the plea deal of a lifetime for our daughter, to avoid prison so that she could remain with her 3 children. We can't thank this wonderful attorney enough for advocating for our daughter as if she were his very own. Thank you so much William Olson for all that you do, all that you have done and for all that you are! I recommend William Olson to any and everyone that needs an attorney that will never stop fighting for you or a loved one.

A life saver
There isn't enough space in this comment situation for how much I want to thank William Michael Olson. In my situation, he was a real life lifesaver. Because I'm (not) a bad person or a criminal... Just to give you a little insight, I have no criminal record... And I've never been in any real trouble. At all... I am a farther of one. And she is my everything. My daughter is 15 year old. And I'm a longtime factory worker. I'm very involved in my daughter's life. And I've been working this same job for over 18 year's now. So you can imagine how I felt when I got into this crazy situation. Yes, I'm not perfect (like everyone else) I've made some mistakes in life just trying to make some fast money. So some of charges was passion of marijuana with intent more than... and weapons charges. And plus other's charges I want minchin. I had at least 6 charges. Basically I was going to prison. You can imagine the stress I had thinking of how I was going to (have to) have a conversation with my daughter about me maybe having to leave her for a while. Smh. So I didn't tell her yet. I held off from it. Honestly, I was to scared/afraid to. And I didn't want to lose my long time job over all this either... I was super stressed. But my friends and family told me to calm down and focus. So I did. So I called a couple of lawyers, but I wasn't satisfied. It just didn't feel right. And so a good friend of mine recommended a lawyer named (William Michael Olson.) She told me that he was a good, honest and a straight up forward guy and he (will) fight for you... And so I called him and went to meet with him. And after our small conversation I told Michael Olson about my daughter and job and he told me not to worry to mush (Even though I still did a little) Lol. He told me, You seem like a very good guy and I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU. So he did make me feel alot better after our conversation. He told the truth about what I was facing and he just kept it real about everything. He made it simple for me to understand. Long story short. We went to court, I left out only facing a little probation and a fine. So I kept my job. I'm at work right now writing this review... Lol. And I never had to tell my daughter anything about my situation. Because that was my biggest fear. Breaking my daughter's heart. So Thank You William Michael Olson!!! I really appreciate all you've done for me and my family... All my troubles about this situation are in the past... I highly recommend William Michael Olson to anyone that's serious about life...

Excellent Attorney!
I have used Mr. Olson on more than one occasion. He was very knowledgeable, thorough and dedicated to my cases. One was a somewhat complicated felony charge that was reduced to a misdemeanor and one was a DUI that was reduced to a reckless driving even though the evidence was sufficient for the DUI! He negotiated much lower sentences in both as well. If you need someone you can trust to work in your best interest, I would most definitely recommend Mr. Olson!

Responsive, experienced, engaged, compassionate, respected...
How fortunate I was to have chosen Mr. Olson to represent me!He was engaged throughout my case and, as I observed, he clearly was respected by both those in law enforcement and in the judicial system including the bench. My case, several serious felonies, resulted in the best possible outcome under the circumstances. It was Mr. Olson's counsel and efforts on my behalf that brought it to that result! I am deeply appreciative to Mr. Olson for his professionalism and compassion - delivering what I believe to be a successful conclusion to a very, very difficult situation.

More than an attorney
Soon after I turned eighteen I found myself accused of a misdemeanor. I had never been in trouble with anyone for anything. I was worried about my future. I selected Mr. Olson to provide me legal counsel. He outlined a few options that were available. Mr Olson accompanied me to my trial. He was with me until the end. More than offering me legal counsel, he genuinely cared about me. He knew I was scared and did his best to assure me I was going to be alright. To Mr.Olson, I was not only a legal client, I was a human being, who was struggling. I can't thank him enough for his support. I would recommend this knowledgeable and compassionate attorney to anyone. He is a respected man in his field.

My family
Attorney William Olson defending me in two separate cases after losing my wife to her battle with cancer. The first case involving my teenage daughter three weeks before my wife passed we were involved in a heated shouting match which the police were called out and I end up being arrested charged with simple assault simple battery-family violence. The second case involved my three biological children in which dfac where in custody. I do believe in a higher power for it was not a mistake for mr. Olson and I to meet. After Consulting with mr. Olson soon he took the case and after following his instructions some months later my three kids were in my custody and as of July 12th 2019 the second case involving my daughter is finally close. I truly believe that I could not have chosen a more compassion, professional an experience attorney to defend my case.

Defendant
Mr. Olson did an excellent job handling my case. I was facing 40 years in prison and he had it knocked down to 12 months! He has the best relationship with prosecutors and knows how to work with them to get favorable results. He got my 4 felonies dropped to misdemeanors as well. If you ever find yourself faced with criminal charges, call Mr. Olson! He is the best!

The Best Lawyer I know!
Billy and Jenni both listened intently during the consultation and felt they could help me with a family issue. They made me feel comfortable and gave me hope for a successful resolution. We continue to work on the issue, but have achieved many milestones that I had thought impossible or couldn't have handled without them! They are hard working and caring!

Billy is an intelligent, hardworking, and zealous advocate. He can be counted on to do everything in his power to obtain a favorable result for his clients.

Ana Bolden
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Billy and I began our legal careers together on opposite sides of the courtroom. He is earnest, fair, and hardworking, with far more trial experience than most lawyers. When we are on opposite sides, I know that he will advocate for his client, but also be up front and fair in negotiations to try to resolve a case.
