About William
Biography
I was born and raised in Oklahoma. A second generation lawyer, following my father into the practice of law. I have been privileged to meet and help some amazing people. I am a husband, a father, a highway safety advocate, and I teach tractor-trailer safety to others.
I proudly serve the victims of car and truck accidents all over the State of Oklahoma. My degrees are from The University of Oklahoma, where I played varsity football in 1990 and 1991. I am also a graduate of the prestigious Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, in Dubois, Wyoming.
I completed Roadmaster Truck Driving School, and hold a valid "Class A" Oklahoma commercial drivers license, with endorsements for double and triple trailers and tankers, making me one of the very few lawyers in the country that are qualified to operate the same type of vehicle that hit my clients.

Wrongful death
Mr Ervin took on my case as if it were his own. He will work tirelessly until all documentation is checked & verified before bring the information to court. He is perfectly qualified on his own and works well as a team player. You need not look any further for legal counsel.
