About William
Biography
I have been practicing Bankruptcy law since 1975 representing debtors in Chapter 7,13, and 11 cases. I also have represented many creditors in bankruptcy proceedings. I was a Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee appointed by the Justice Department from 1978 to 2004 and administered over 20,000 cases in that time. I have appeared in bankruptcy proceedings in Washington, Delaware, Chicago, and Dallas. I am or have been a member of the National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys, National Association of Bankruptcy Trustees, Executive Committee of Washington State Bar Creditor/Debtor Section, Receiver in Rainier Pacific Bank Holding Company (FDIC Closure) and many other related activities. I gradauated from the University of Iowa ( Finance) in 1968 followed by US Army service during the Viet Nam War. In November of 2015 I opened my 10,000th file. Experience counts! I've seen it all.

I was referred to Mr Beecher by a coworker. Mr Beecher has been kind and explained everything to me in a manner that I understood. He has been professional and kind. I am in the midst of this and he has definitely made it easier

Top-shelf representation.
My 2nd interaction with Mr. Beecher in 17 years. Case representation took place in April. Expect thorough, prompt service, clear explanation of the process, and procedure. Courteous, professional service from a veteran attorney. Don't settle for less. Outstanding.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
From our first meeting I was set at ease by his very professional but relaxed attitude. Continuous communication was provided through the whole process so we were very clear what our commitments were. Absolutely a great attorney.

Mr. Beecher made a difficult time easy and did a fantastic job. He was available to consult in person and responded quickly to all questions. He informed us of all the questions we would be asked of us in court so there were no surprise's. The best choice you could make for a bankruptcy attorney.
