William Kickham is a top-rated attorney who practices law in Westwood, Massachusetts and Boston. Attorney Kickham focuses on two primary areas of law:   Criminal Defense and Plaintiffs’ Personal Injury Litigation. These areas of practice are very complimentary to each other, as clients in both of these areas of law often face very serious and even traumatic legal and personal challenges, requiring an attorney who knows how to solve these problems with maximum positive results.  

Attorney Kickham is at his best when he is engaged in legal battle on behalf of his clients.  He has achieved consistently high verdicts and settlements on behalf of his personal injury clients, and he has secured superior legal results for his criminal defense clients, usually in the form of Not Guilty verdicts or dismissal of charges brought by prosecutors.  These kinds of exceptional results are why Attorney Kickham has been recognized and chosen for a number of awards, including being named to Massachusetts Super Lawyers for 2019. He was selected for this honor subsequent to undergoing a rigorous evaluation of many different factors including  professional achievements and peer recognition.  This is a very significant accomplishment, given the fact that 95% of Massachusetts have not received this designation.

In addition to being named to Massachusetts Super Lawyers 2019, Atty. Kickham has also been conferred awards and recognition from other prestigious legal organizations.  He has achieved a 10.0 (out of 10.0) “Top Attorney” rating from the independent attorney ratings site Avvo.com (https://www.avvo.com/attorneys/02090-ma-william-kickham-1429983.html), a widely respected independent attorney ratings organization.  He has been named as one of the “Ten Best Attorneys” for Massachusetts by the America Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys (http://www.aiopia.org/), and has also been named as one of the “Top 100 Criminal Defense Lawyers” in Massachusetts by the National Trial Lawyers (www.TheNationalTrialLawyers.org), an invitation-only national organization composed of the premier trial lawyers from each state or region who meet stringent qualifications. Membership is extended only to the select few of the most qualified attorneys from each state or region who demonstrate superior qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence, stature and public profile.  Addtionally, Attorney Kickham has received a 10.0 (out of 10.0) rating from Justia (www.Justia.com), a highly-respected legal information and legal resource provider to legal consumers, public interest groups and academic organizations.  

Attorney Kickham is a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association (www.massbar.org), the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys (www.massacademy.com), a specialty bar association focusing on plaintiffs’ personal injury and tort law, as well as the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (www.macdl.com).

When not in court fighting and winning for his clients, Attorney Kickham often appears an expert in the media as a legal analyst and commentator on a variety of criminal defense and tort law issues.  He has appeared on both national and regional television and radio programs commenting on a variety of complex criminal and civil cases.  This skill comes from having managed media relations and public affairs on legal issues before Attorney Kickham began practicing law.  He became a licensed attorney in 1988, after graduating Suffolk University Law School, and received his bachelor’s degree in Economics from Boston College in 1980.  He resides with his wide Debbi in Westwood, Massachusetts.

On a personal level, Attorney Kickham has a sign in his home that captures a lot of his attitude about life:   'Rich' is Not How Much Money You Have.  'Rich' Is Who You Have Beside You."
