He has defended clients in a variety of matters, including claims of sex, race, disability, age, safety and other employment discrimination, wrongful discharge, sexual and racial harassment, breach of employment contract, workers’ compensation claims, and violations of ERISA and the FMLA. Bill also has extensive experience litigating West Virginia’s unique "deliberate intent" employment actions, having successfully represented employers in dozens of such cases arising from serious workplace injuries and toxic tort/workplace exposures.

Bill's success results from his application of vast experience to client relationships founded on mutual trust and a full understanding of each client and its business. Always at the forefront are the client’s best interests and objectives, as well as the development of the solution or legal strategy that will most effectively and efficiently serve both.
