Biography Bill joined Smith Haughey in 1975, and currently serves as the firm’s CEO. He practices in the areas of health law, medical malpractice defense, general litigation, and the defense of professional liability actions. He previously served as CEO of the firm from 1991 to 1997 and as President of the Board of Directors from 1997 to 2009. 

Bill has trained lawyers in advocacy skills for individual law firms in several states and has also trained litigation counsel for a number of national insurance carriers. In addition, he is very active in both his industry and community, having held a number of elected positions and memberships in legal and community organizations. 

In the past 10 years, Bill has transitioned his practice and built a highly successful mediation/alternative dispute resolution practice on his solid reputation as a seasoned trial attorney and devotion to the legal community. A certified facilitative mediator by the U.S. District Court, Western District of Michigan, he has served as mediator and case evaluator for more than 300 cases in the state and federal courts throughout Michigan. Representative cases include catastrophic personal injury, complex multi-party commercial litigation, and complex trademark and intellectual property matters.
