He is a past-President of the Lynchburg Bar Association and has served on the Board of Directors for the Client Protection Fund for the Virginia State Bar, and as faculty and lecturer for the Virginia State Bar’s Professionalism Course. For almost forty years, Bill has developed an extensive practice in civil litigation with emphasis on personal injury and commercial litigation, trying more than 200 jury trials to completion in state and federal courts. He serves on the Board of Governors for the Virginia Bar Association (since 2022) and for the Senior Lawyer Conference for the Virginia State Bar (since 2023).
