About William
Biography
"Dada's two girls." -- That's what my two-year-old says when I pick her and the baby up at the same time. Along with my wife, those are the only 3 things in the world more important to me other than your case.
I had somewhat of a strange upbringing -- the poorest kid in a wealthy suburb -- and here's what I learned. Fairness is the belief that everyone should play by the same rules, but justice is different. Justice is the active participation in making sure that happens.
I believe in justice, and I am passionate about holding accountable folks who break the rules. We can all see, and the statistics bear this out, that our country is more and more out of balance. A smaller and smaller elite group holds more and more of the power. Our local courthouses, I feel, are the only places left where the rest of us can take a stand.
Everyone who walks into our office has a story to tell, if someone will just listen. That's what we do. We use our experience and our resources to level the playing field, give you a voice and tell your story -- so that whoever wronged you HAS to listen. At the very least, they have to listen.

Absolutely the smartest, hardest working, passionate and ethical attorney available!! Rip not only has a great legal mind and extraordinary talent but he is able to grasp and develop a critical understanding of complex technical issues involved in scientific and engineering cases. I worked very close...
