William R. McBride

William R. McBride is an aggressive and experienced lawyer, who has represented thousands of personal injury claims and wrongful death lawsuits. Instilled with strong ethics by his parents, McBride was raised to believe in the ideal of justice for all.

McBride has dedicated his career to protecting the rights of individuals and families who have suffered harm due to someone else’s mistakes.

At the age of ten, young Will McBride decided to become a lawyer after his family was defrauded in a “rent-to-own” scheme. The scheme caused his family to lose their home and financial resources. He will never forget the first night he spent sleeping in his family’s car. This traumatic experience continues to motivate and drive him to fight aggressively for his clients today.

Lawyer Strengthening the Community

Before beginning his legal career, McBride served the community as a public school teacher, high school sports coach, motivational speaker, youth minister and camp director. McBride’s father came to the United States as a migrant worker. His father was the first member of his family to graduate from college. After graduation, his father founded a Spanish speaking church to serve the community. It was his mother and father’s example that motivated him to become involved in community service.

McBride earned his bachelor of arts in Spanish with a concentration in education from the Florida State University and his juris doctor degree from Pepperdine University College of Law in Malibu, California.
