About William
Biography
Having tried more than 200 jury trials to verdict in circuit courts across central Virginia over the past thirty three years, I have assessed my clients cases and guided them through each issue. Likewise, I have negotiated to settlement several thousand more cases, including those cases negotiated through formal mediation proceedings. With the skills to handle your personal injury or wrongful death actions, or your commercial litigation issues, I look forward to speaking with you and helping you.
