William Cory Reiss - Wilmington, North Carolina

About

My large criminal practice covers commercial enterprise litigation, starting from complex cases within the North Carolina Business Court to greater sincere agreement disputes, private injury, and wrongful demise cases, which includes scientific malpractice.
But something form of case, I use investigative instincts that I honed over extra than 14 years as a professional journalist earlier than turning to the Bar.
I exited the University of Virginia in 1994 skilled in various sorts of writing and on a mission to get to the lowest of things. A freelance writer and part-time newspaper reporter while still in college, I have become a full-time journalist upon graduating after which managing editor of a weekly newspaper that I led to severa awards.
In 1997, I joined the Wilmington Morning Star (now the Star-News), in which I typically protected country and federal courts, laying the inspiration for my interest in law. I then have become the New York Times Regional Media Group Correspondent in Washington, D.C., covering Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court, and federal agencies for 14 every day newspapers in six states in addition to the New York Times News Service.
But the antique courts beat beckoned me. In 2007, I entered the Wake Forest University School of Law, where I was a coaching assistant for legal writing and a leader at the Dean’s List, Law Review and my trial group — all at the same time as my spouse and I raised two young sons.
Since becoming a member of the Bar, I ve attempted numerous instances, argued earlier than our state s maximum courts and the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and enjoyed my daily project to help steer customers clear of, or thru, issues massive and small. › ›
