About William
Biography
I am an avid fisherman and love nothing more than an intense battle. I enjoy every part of the fishing experience, planning the trip and executing the plan. Of course nothing is better than being in all out struggle to win. I savor each and every trip and become better through learning more every time I am on the water.
I approach the law in the same way. I will take my experience, knowledge and training and put it on the line to win for you.
