In 2015, Bill gained admission to the Virginia Bar. In the summer of 2015, Bill, his wife, and two children moved to Virginia Beach to be near his wife’s family. (Happy wife, happy life). Returning to his legal roots, Bill began his Virginia legal career by prosecuting misdemeanor and felony cases in Portsmouth and then Hampton. For over 25 years, Bill has zealously and ethically pursued justice for his clients and the Commonwealth’s citizenry.

When not in the Office or the courtroom, Bill can be found on the tennis court, watching his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers, or at his Synagogue, Congregation Beth El in Norfolk, where he helps lead services, teaches Sunday School, and is a member of the Synagogue’s Board of Directors.
