About William
Biography
Hello, thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me. My name is William Concidine and I am a criminal defense lawyer practicing in Southern California with an office centrally located in downtown San Diego. This area is commonly referred to as the Gaslamp Quarter. Prior to opening my own office, I spent several years as an associate attorney under one of the city's best criminal defense attorneys.
Prior to that experience, I learned the day to day procedures of the misdemeanor courts while interning at the Public Defender of San Diego. This experience lead to a positive and solid working relationship with City Attorneys and District Attorneys throughout San Diego County.
In addition to my time at the Public Defender, I spent several years interning at the Alternate Public Defender where I worked on serious felony offenses.
As for my education, I received my Juris Doctor degree from California Western School of Law in San Diego, California. While there, I fell in love with San Diego and decided it was where I wanted to spend my career. Prior to California Western, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from California Poyltechnic University, San Luis Obispo in San Luis Obispo, California. I love to return there to visit with old friends from my fraternity, Sigma Nu, and grab a bite to eat at Firestone's Grill in downtown.
Thank you again for taking the time to learn about me. If you have any questions or want to talk, please give me a call.
