Bill authored the definitive book on psychological injury cases, sharing his knowledge and experience to the benefit of countless lawyers and their injured clients. He has practiced law for over 40 years, continuing to try difficult and challenging cases, while remaining highly active in the professional community, serving on many boards, writing, and teaching. He has lectured on trial advocacy in 35 state sand 4 countries and testified as an expert witness in legal malpractice cases.
