I practiced with Bill Warhurst for fifteen years and continue to consult with him on an "as needed" basis. Bill is a rare combination of qualities. To name a few, they include skill, judgment, clarity of mind and purpose, courage and tenacity, all tempered with patience, compassion and integrity. I have never known him to go into a court hearing, deposition or meeting without thorough preparation. In tackling any problem Bill's first step is to thoroughly understand it, then to define a solution that fits his client's needs, determine how to achieve it, and execute the plan. He never loses sight of his client's needs or rests until he has done his utmost to fulfill them. I recommend him without reservation.
