William Blakely Law was founded to provide individuals and companies with consulting and litigation support in the aviation and construction industries. Navigating through the legal system can be challenging which is why William D. Blakely (Bill), the founder of William Blakely Law, has developed a team approach, working closely with clients, experts, government officials, and other law firms to accomplish case objectives. His background as a Marine Corps aviator, a Department of Justice lawyer, and leader in two Am Law 100 firms make this approach a natural to Bill.
