William Swafford

I have been a criminal defense lawyer since I graduated from law school in December of 2008. I started my career by writing motions for some of the most experienced and reputable attorneys in Nevada, and quickly learned how to effectively handle cases beginning with investigation and arrest, and ending with post conviction writs in unique circumstances. I was blessed with the opportunity, early in my career, to sit second chair and participate during jury trials where I observed, and learned from skilled and experienced trial attorneys. I passed bar exams in states throughout the U.S., and spent a decade writing complex motions, appeals, pretrial pleadings, appellate briefs, and anything imaginable for criminal defense attorneys in the Northern Nevada region. I began litigating my own cases again in 2021, and have been taking over a busy, reputable, criminal defense practice with a reputation for fighting tirelessly on behalf of persons who are likely to be treated unfairly when up against the powers of the criminal justice system.
