Will’s litigation experience includes bench and jury trials in state and federal courts, as well as extensive appellate work. Will is a frequently invited lecturer in the area of litigation graphics and technology for groups such as the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Illinois Cook County Public Defender’s Office Capital Crimes Division and the Office of Defender Services for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
Will returned to Vermont with his family and joined Ward & Babb in February of 2006. His practice continues to focus on civil litigation and business transactions. In his free time, Will loves to snowboard and has a particular interest in history and wrote his Yale senior thesis on Ira Allen’s revolutionary war negotiations with British General Frederick Haldimand.
