- Criminal DefenseWhere the circumstances favor reaching a negotiated resolution, Bill has vast experience securing favorable plea agreements. He recently resolved a lengthy public corruption prosecution by securing a binding plea from the government to a year and day incarceration – a mere fraction of the exposure the client faced. Bill is particularly effective representing cooperating witnesses, including his recent representation of a cooperator who faced a substantial sentence in a compounding pharmacy prosecution. Bill worked to ensure that the information his client provided – which led directly to the pleas of two other individuals – was taken into account when the defendant was sentenced to a year of incarceration. Once again, this sentence was a mere fraction of the sentence faced. Bill recently published an article in The Champion, the official publication of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, detailing this process.
- FraudFor clients charged with wrongdoing, Bill recognizes the value of vigorous response to the government’s allegations. He was recently engaged to represent a client facing charges of insurance fraud and identity theft. He quickly conducted a thorough factual investigation, the results of which he presented to the government along with a detailed review of the law explaining why the case was unsound. The prosecutor agreed and dismissed the matter with prejudice.

- Estate PlanningBob: For me, it's the biggest one is the attorney. I know that you reference that, but oftentimes, the deals that we're working on, two, three, 5 million of EBITDA.
