About William
Biography
The legal field is competitive and demanding. A successful case requires an attorney with skill, preparation, dedication, and good judgment. Our firm works constantly to fufill these requirements that the legal field and our clients require of us.
I am an experienced litigator and trial attorney. I have also argued before the Utah Supreme Court, so I have the experience needed to present persuasive evidence and arguments in court.
