He attended Loyola High School and graduated with honors from Saint Joseph’s University with a double major in Philosophy and English Literature. After college, Bill began his legal career working for the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office and some of Maryland’s best criminal defense lawyers. After graduating from the distinguished University Of Maryland School Of Law, Bill honed his civil litigation skills, working on cases involving construction litigation, homeowner claims against contractors and business planning and litigation matters.

Together, they have worked to establish the kind of firm that is difficult to find - one that provides passionate and practical legal advocacy by lawyers who are able to go to the mat for their clients and care more about your bottom line than their own.
