William D. Chapman – Attorney at Law
With extensive trial experience and a high level of integrity, William D. Chapman is recognized for his excellence in and out of the courtroom. He practices a wide range of legal services, from business litigation to alternative dispute resolution and was awarded the highest legal and ethics rating of “AV” from Martindale-Hubbell.
He has been recognized for his multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements in the state of California and has even obtained a $1.5 million sanction award. This sanction award is as of yet, the largest in California history against a plaintiff for bringing a frivolous lawsuit. Admitted to practice before state and federal courts in California, William Chapman has also been admitted pro hac vice in the Southern District of New York and the Eastern District of Texas.
William Chapman acts as an advocate for his clients with his authoritative insistence on truth—a trait that opposing legal attorneys respect and clients appreciate. He has said, “I do not subscribe to the popular style of advocacy that shapes the ‘truth’ around my client’s position. I believe there is a power that comes with advocacy that seeks the truth first.”
He is committed to providing his clients with the experience and dedication expected of a large firm while protecting their best interests.
