Principally a trial lawyer, Bill devotes much of his practice to the defense of insurance bad faith litigation and insurance coverage matters, and he is also engaged in appellate cases in the state and federal systems. Several of his appellate cases have resulted in published opinions involving various insurance coverage matters. As well, he has presented several seminars and classes concerning insurance bad faith and coverage issues.

Bill began his work as a lawyer in Houston, Texas, in 1986 where he maintained a general civil practice in his firm Bartley, Johnson & Conkin. He ultimately concentrated his practice on the then developing law of insurance bad faith. Bill relocated to Philadelphia to be closer to his two sons.
