"Justice requires that the rights of the individual not be ignored. Those individuals who cannot afford representation should not be denied access to the legal system. As a personal injury lawyer, I am proud to provide access to those who have been injured through the negligence of others."

William P. Hepner joined WRS as a trial lawyer in 1998 and has tried and litigated numerous significant automobile, premises, medical malpractice and construction accident cases. Bill graduated magna cum laude in 1983 from the State University of New York at Albany, and received his J.D. degree in 1991 from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where he was Editor-In-Chief of Cardozo's International Law Journal, the Cardozo New Europe Law Review. Bill attended Cardozo, after a career which included corporate sales, restaurant management, as well as professional singing. His diverse experience prior to his 15 years of practicing law, gives him an added insight into the make-up of juries and those he represents. Bill's calm and unflappable demeanor in court gives him credibility with jurors, and allows him to withstand the rigors of trial without losing focus.

In addition to his responsibilities as one of the firm's trial lawyers, Bill is a member of the American Judges Association and is an Arbitrator in the Small Claims Court in Manhattan. He decides disputes between parties who desire an expeditious resolution to their cases and agree to have their matters decided by an arbitrator. Bill is charged with fairly and judiciously resolving these disputes and his decisions are final.

Bill resides on Long Island with his wife, Stephanie, and their daughter, Jennifer.
