William C. Black has served as a dedicated counselor in North Dakota since 2012, helping a wide range of clients with extensive legal requirements across the region. His professional work encompasses family law, probate matters, civil litigation, and sophisticated estate planning, alongside substantial activity in real estate and appellate proceedings.
 
After earning his degree cum laude from the University of North Dakota School of Law, William began his legal journey in Williston.
