Four Decades Of Standing Up For My Clients

Legal problems are stressful enough without wondering who's actually handling your file. I keep my caseload manageable so that every client gets my direct attention, from our first conversation through your hearing, appeal, or closing.

Free Initial Consultation On Every New Case

founded with a commitment to help navigate Your Legal Situation

I'm William A. Sheehan, and for 40 years I've represented people in New Jersey through some of the hardest moments of their lives, from disability claims to injury cases to estate planning.


I started practicing law in Woodbury because I wanted to help people who were dealing with something they'd never dealt with before, a denied disability claim, an injury that upended their income, a family that needed an estate plan in place. Forty years later, that's still the work I show up for.


I've never wanted to run a firm where clients get handed off to whoever picks up the phone. When you call my office, you're talking to me, and when your case moves forward, I'm the one moving it.

What's At Stake When You Call Me

I pride myself in Defending What Matters to you.

When someone calls me about a denied disability claim, an injury that's kept them out of work, or an estate plan they've been putting off, it's rarely just paperwork on the line. It's the income that pays their mortgage, the medical care they need to get better, or the security they want to leave their family.


I built my practice around that reality. Every case I take on affects someone's ability to keep their home, cover treatment, or make sure their loved ones are taken care of if something happens to them. That's why I handle each one personally instead of letting it move through a system where no single person is accountable for the outcome.
