William D. "Bill" Ellis

A consummate professional who navigated a complex property dispute

When our family trust became entangled in a contentious boundary dispute with a commercial developer, we needed an attorney with deep local knowledge and a steady hand. Bill Ellis was exactly that. His general practice background proved invaluable, as the issue touched on real estate law, local ordinances, and even elements of contract interpretation. Drawing on his over a decade of experience, particularly his recognized expertise in real estate matters, he crafted a strategy that was both pragmatic and assertive. Bill demystified the legalese for us, maintained impeccable professionalism during tense negotiations, and secured a settlement that preserved the full value and integrity of our property. His guidance from the University of Michigan Law School was evident in his meticulous preparation. We felt genuinely represented and protected throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend William Ellis to anyone in the Bay Area facing a multifaceted legal challenge.
