About William
Biography
I'm a civil litigator and trial lawyer with broad experience handling a wide range of cases from inception through trial and appeal, including complex commercial litigation, partnership and shareholder disputes, non-compete disputes, employment claims, insurance matters, and personal injury.
I am admitted to practice in Florida, U.S. Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit, D.C. Circuit, U.S. District Courts, Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Florida.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing the guitar (or trying at least), running, and practicing yoga.
