About William

After graduation from Law School at the University of Illinois in 1965, I spent three years in the Judge Advocate General Corps for the U.S. Army. I received an Honorable Discharge as a Captain and returned to McLean County in 1968. I have been in private practice since that time.

My practice is concentrated in representing clients who have been injured, including those hurt by legal malpractice. I have represented clients in 48 jury trials and an equal number of bench trials. The majority of my cases are referred to me by other attorneys because of my experience and achievement in the trial arena. I have represented clients in jury trials in ten counties in Central Illinois.
