“William is a pragmatic and collaborative litigator who excels at helping his clients cost-effectively resolve disputes and avoid similar ones in the future, while approaching each case under the assumption it is going to trial,” said Brent Smith, managing partner at Johns, Flaherty & Collins. “That approach makes him a strong addition to our litigation team and a true asset to the clients we serve.”
