Bill is also respected by his fellow lawyers, as evidenced by receiving the highest rating offered by Martindale Hubbell: AV Preeminent. “An AV certification mark is a significant rating accomplishment-a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.” Bill has also acted as an arbitrator in the Snohomish County Superior Court since 1986. His practice has focused upon civil trial work, including litigation in the areas of dissolution, personal injury, business, and real estate. Bill has a particular focus upon family law.

Bill is frequently sought out by attorneys and parties in arriving at amicable agreements to resolve their disputes through mediation. When not practicing law, Bill skis, bikes and golfs, although not particularly well. While recovering from various sports injuries, he also makes it a point to watch as many football games of his alma mater, Notre Dame, as he can.
