EXPERIENCE

After graduating law school, Bill went to work for The Ayco Company as a Staff Attorney where he developed and implemented tax-saving strategies for businesses and individuals in a wide variety of tax and tax-related areas. He also obtained investment and insurance licenses in order to advise clients on many financial planning issues including asset allocation, cash flow analysis and risk management. A primary focus for clients was estate planning to reduce or eliminate prospective estate and gift taxes. Eventually Bill was named a partner of the company.

After thirteen years with Ayco, Bill entered private practice with focus on trusts and estates for individuals. He  established his own law office in 2015.
