About William
Biography
I have been practicing law in Colorado Springs since 1984. I specialize in education law and thoroughly enjoy it. My mother was a teacher, as well as two of my sisters, and I have a great appreciation for educators. Our firm provides legal counsel to a number of school districts and boards of cooperative educational services throughout the Pikes Peak region and beyond, and prides itself on prompt, cost-effective and professional legal service to our clients. We try to help clients avoid problems before they become problems.
Prior to obtaining my law degree, I was a sports writer for six years after obtaining a journalism degree from the University of Missouri. I was the college sports editor for The Atlanta Constitution for three years and then covered the Denver Nuggets for three years for the Rocky Mountain News in Denver.
