“I grew up in a working class family and was raised to believe that all individuals, regardless of class or stature, deserve to be treated with the same high levels of dignity and respect – on a personal level and also by our government and its system of justice. I practice law because I derive a great sense of personal satisfaction in helping people who otherwise are not in a position to help themselves. Hopefully, at the end of every day I can tell myself that I have made a positive difference in someone’s life.”

 

Bill began practicing law in 1976 and joined GT&B in 1978. Bill practices in our Workers’ Compensation and Social Security sections. Bill’s tireless commitment to people who have been injured or wronged has earned him a reputation as a strong advocate and highly successful in protecting his clients’ rights.
