William B. Lewis

William is the Managing Partner of Morgan & Morgan’s southeast Florida offices.

William litigates cases on a contingency-fee basis, which allows his clients to level the playing field against larger, wealthier, or insured opponents. He is driven by the philosophy that justice requires cases to be decided on the merits – not by the size of a corporation’s or insurance company’s legal budget.

William has been named by U.S. News & World Report as one of The Best Lawyers in America.  He has been honored as Florida Trend Magazine’s Florida’s “Legal Elite”; Florida Super Lawyers “Rising Star”; Palm Beach Illustrated’s “Top Lawyers”; and South Florida Business Journal’s 40 Under 40.

The true measure of his success, however, has been the significant results he has achieved for his deserving clients. William is a proven trial lawyer, having won numerous jury trials, bench trials, and arbitrations.  He has also recovered tens of millions of dollars through settlements in state and federal courts, as well as arbitration forums, throughout Florida.

William’s trial experience has earned him membership into the American Board of Trial Advocates (“ABOTA”) – a invitation-only group of experienced trial lawyers and judges dedicated to the preservation of the right to civil jury trials.

William has been elected to serve on the University of Florida Law School LCA Board of Trustees.  He is a Past-President of the University of Florida Law Alumni Council. And he was previously honored by the University of Florida Alumni Association as one of the 40 Gators Under 40.

William has been appointed to three terms on the Florida Bar’s Committee on Professionalism. He has been the chair of both the Palm Beach County Bar’s Circuit Civil Court Committee and its Business Litigation Committee.  

Prior to joining the Morgan & Morgan, William prosecuted large-scale claims for a well-known securities and antitrust firm. He also interned at the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the State Attorney’s Office, where he first-chaired multiple jury trials. Before becoming an attorney, William received an MBA in finance and securities analysis and worked at a hedge fund.
