About William
Biography
Will has spent tens of thousands of hours developing his civil litigation practice by personally drafting pleadings, conducting depositions and discovery, briefing and arguing motions, and ultimately taking cases to mediation, arbitration, and trial. He now leads a team of devoted legal professionals dedicated to ensuring Abel Law Firm continues to provide high-quality legal services to its clients.
Will receives case referrals from attorneys near and far, and he enjoys debating the finer points of civil procedure, trial and litigation strategy, and other legal facets that only an attorney could appreciate.
Will’s practice focuses on serious personal injury cases, large commercial disputes, and other complex civil litigation matters. Will also serves as outside general counsel to local businesses operating in the construction, development, transportation, maritime, and oil & gas service industries.
