William Sand | Saint Paul Personal Injury Lawyer

Bill Sand attended college at Hamline University where he served as captain of the men’s baseball team. He then attended law school at the University of San Diego where he was awarded the Honorable Louis M. Welsh Endowed Scholarship. This award is given to the person that best “exemplifies the highest ethical standards and believes in the humanity of the law” and who demonstrates a “passionate desire to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a trial lawyer.” After law school Bill entered the field of Child Advocacy Law and has since helped obtain millions of dollars in services for children. He has continued this trend by focusing his practice primarily in the area of Personal Injury Law. Bill has experienced uncommon success with an abnormally high success rate at all stages of litigation - from jury verdicts to judicial rulings in favor of his clients. Bill also focuses a large portion of his practice on criminal defense. Having worked for several public defender agencies throughout the county, Bill is no stranger to the courtroom. He handles all levels of criminal cases, from misdemeanors to serious felonies. Outside of the law Bill enjoys playing music, hiking, and spending time with family. He is involved with the Special Olympics, has volunteered at care centers for the elderly, and founded a number of youth baseball camps.

How did you build a successful practice?
By developing trust with our clients and achieving uncommon results.

I need a summary of what happened and how you have been affected by your injuries.
