William Bonham
Of Counsel
Servicing clients in: Gahanna
Estate planning is such a meaningful service. You’re with your clients for a lifetime, helping them through life’s transitions and giving them the gift of peace of mind. That’s impactful for both the client and attorney. It’s a really special role to have.
Specialties:
Estate Planning
Probate Administration
Creating an estate plan ensures your loved ones are cared for and have a trusted advisor to lean on when you pass. Estate planning isn’t just for the well-off; it’s for everyone. It’s my job to help educate people on why an estate plan is important protection to have.
Why did you choose this type of law?
I’ve always been interested in estate planning and I gravitate toward positions that allow me to help my community.
Both in my career and in my personal life—from working in the Sheriff’s Office as a Deputy Sheriff and later a Sergeant, to church service and volunteering with the Rotary Club—I’ve sought opportunities to make a difference.
