About William
Biography
I graduated from Logan-Rogersville High School in 1989 and attended Drury University until 1993 earning an Bachelors degree in English with Honors and a minor in Speech Communication. While there I was the Station Manager of KDCR 530AM and a member of SIGMA PI.
I attended the University of Missouri School of Law from 1993-1996 and was granted a Juris Doctorate. I passed the bar that summer.
I was hired by Shawn Askinosie to start and run a niche practice in Springfield, MO called The Ticket Center which I did until the fall of 1999 when I joined the Greene County Prosecutor's Office as an Assistant Prosecutor. In September of 2002 I left Greene County and started my own firm where I still practice today.
In 2009 I was selected by the Springfield Business Journal for their "40 under 40" award.
My Practice is mostly comprised of Criminal Defense, Business Law, Real Estate and Collections. I have served as City Attorney for Rogersville and Fordland. Additionally, I serve as the Municipal Judge for the Cities of Fair Grove, Billings & Strafford.
I have the pleasure of serving as Master of Ceremonies for a number of local events including the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, the Logan-Rogersville Educational Foundation's Wildcat Gala and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk for a Cure.
I am a Certified National Instructor with the American Taekwondo Association and hold the rank of 4th Degree Black Belt.

Drafting Trusts
We hired Will to draft an irrevocable trust. His advice was extremely helpful. When later, we needed to make some changes he again was extremely helpful in the guidance he provided through this complex procedure. I recommend him for your consideration.

Good Experience
Attention to detail and thoughtful planning were the things were were most impressed with. They got to the issues and asked questions about things I'd never thought about. The result was an outcome we were happy with and no surprises.
