About William

Learn William’s areas of practice.

WE LISTEN. WE COMMUNICATE. WE PREPARE. WE FOLLOW THROUGH.

Bill is co-owner of Blasser Law with his wife Lisa and is the lead trial attorney for the firm. His practice focuses on Family Law, Child Custody, Child Support, Divorce and Separation, Alimony, Domestic Violence and Pre-nup agreements. Bill uses his passion and experience to protect his clients’ families, assets and legacy. He is a trial attorney who loves advocating in court on behalf of his clients but works to thoroughly prepare every case, so his clients are in a position to successfully resolve their disputes without the need for a trial. Bill understands that legal disputes involving family law and estates are very stressful, and is dedicated to comforting his clients with thoughtful counsel and strategies that alleviate this anxiety.

Bill earned his undergraduate degree in Economics from the University of Montana in 1997. While in law school, he received several awards from the Witkin Legal Institute for Academic Excellence. Bill earned his Juris Doctorate in 2004, graduating from law school with scholastic honors, and went on to pass California Bar Exam on his first attempt. Bill has been actively practicing law since November 2004. He practices in the California State Courts, the Federal District Courts and the California Court of Appeal.

On a Personal Note …

“I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, but have been a Southern California resident for over 16 years. While I was in law school, I met an amazing, beautiful and talented woman named Lisa. I am proud to say she is the co-owner of Blasser Law and my wife. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, exercising, and playing Chess. I use most of my leisure time, however, doing what I love most: spending time with my wife and children. I am a trial attorney, and I love to advocate on behalf of my clients inside a courtroom.

I understand, however, that court hearings and trials are expensive and emotionally strenuous for my clients. This is why I thoroughly prepare every case I accept. The evidence is in place. Arguments are well thought out. Testimony is laid out and rehearsed. This level of preparation empowers my clients to effectively negotiate and settle their disputes before trial. In the rare instances where my clients cannot resolve things informally, they are well – prepared to succeed when they present their case in court.

‘We listen. We communicate. We Prepare. We follow through.’ This is not just a tagline we use for advertising like other law firms. This is what we do at Blasser Law. I look forward to meeting you personally very soon.

Awesome Attorney
Mr. Blasser is an awesome attorney and an awesome person! I consulted with Mr. Blasser and saw his wife has emphasis on her degrees that would be beneficial for my difficult divorce. After the hire, my case ended up being shifted out-of-state. Mr. Blasser gave me a full refund and gladly shared files with my new attorney and his team. His courtesy saved me a lot of money and time I did not have. The Blasser team is professional and a pleasure to work with.

intelligent and strategic child custody attorney
William Blasser was able to get me more than what I asked for. I know it sounds like a gimmick but in my case I was projected to get 50-50 physical custody with my child but I was able to get much more. I just want to speak out to a lot of fathers out there thinking the system is rigged towards favoring the mother, but It’s not, you have rights & we have to start masking the sacrifice for our children.You can do it just don’t give in to that idea. William Blasser was able to help me see that. As well as give me much more than what I was expecting. In short he was very busy but he manages his time very well. While being able to feel as if you’re being actually being listen to about whatever subject or topic. Day or night I was able to contact him whenever. I strongly suggest his services because he was able to do what I could no.

Highly Recommend Wllliam!
I’m going through a very difficult custody case. I was previously unrepresented and was having a rough time finding anyone who would listen to my story and actually HELP. William put me at ease with the very first phone call and after that I knew I had to retain him. Not only is he professional, experienced, and knowledgeable, he also makes you feel like you are not alone through the court battles. I can’t recommend him enough! Don’t hesitate and give him a call you won’t regret it!

Bill was very helpful from the very first call we had....
I contacted Bill regarding a conservatorship for my 89 year old Mother. Bill understands exactly what the process was about and the family dynamics that may arise. Bill was able to give me great advice on how to proceed while being honest and straightforward as to the steps to take. As with any court case, the outcome is unpredictable and Bill was able to lay out the pros and cons of what the process would entail. I look forward to working with Bill

Great custody lawyer
Just finalized a custody agreement for my children with Bill’s help. He was organized, available, and always professional from the beginning of the process to the end. Having never gone through anything like this before, Bill explained each step of the process and thoroughly answers all my questions. Through the stressful times, he always listened and reassured me that our strategy would lead to best possible outcome for my children, and low and behold, it did. My kids are still young, so if anything comes up between now and when they turn 18, I will definitely reach out to Bill again. A great lawyer and great person.

Prenuptial agreement
William Blasser was professional and straightforward from the beginning . I reached out to him in regards to a prenuptial agreement and he quickly got the ball moving. He remained in correspondence with me throughout the process and made meetings convenient for my schedule . I could not have been happier with the outcome . Truly made what could have been an uncomfortable process , a completely stress free experience. He did not try to add fees and charges the longer the process went . The set price was the only cost , and worth every dollar.

Bill is amazing and helped me through many of the hardest situations that I could ever imagine. He was always honest, professional, caring and would fight with me while still caring for all parties involved.

Excellent, professional , and honest with true compassion.
Bill at Blasser Law is an outstanding lawyer. His knowledge of family law, professionalism, and compassion helped me to survive and ultimately, "win" with my complicated divorce case. My divorce case was to be simple, with no children or community property but it morphed into a completely different animal with many twists and turns. But, Bill took everything in stride and guided me confidently until the very end and I came out earning everything I deserved. He was unwavering in his commitment towards me and my family's happiness and satisfaction. He is readily available by phone, text, or email and if he's busy, he will let you know when he will get right back to you. His fees are very reasonable, I researched before I chose his firm and he never harasses or makes you feel uneasy about payments. For ANY family law matter, my family and I will retain them again and again. We are so grateful to Bill and Blasser Law!
