Bill represents clients involved in appellate matters in Michigan including health care providers, municipalities, and corporations. As a distinguished appellate litigator with almost 10 years of experience, he partners directly with his clients throughout the entire appellate process, from the time the appeal is filed to post-judgment motions, if necessary.
Bill couples his devotion to studying this niche of litigation with his extensive experience briefing and arguing before courts of all levels. He critically analyzes each strategy and argument used in the trial court with sensitivity toward how it is likely to be received in the appellate courts, and is skilled at expanding or contracting the argument when necessary. He is adept at merging the often disjointed trial court materials including discovery, pleadings, and hearing transcripts with a concise statement of the law to form a coherent, succinct, and persuasive argument on appeal.
