Will Harrison was born and raised in Florida. He attended the University of South Florida in Tampa, where he majored in philosophy with a minor in psychology. This choice of curriculum was based on Will’s affinity for logic and his desire to achieve a deep understanding of human nature. The knowledge that he acquired during his time at USF informs his approach to family law practice to this day.. After graduating with honors from USF, Will moved to Temecula, California to get married and start a life together with his wife. He spent a few years working in commission sales, which honed his capacity for persuasion and motivated him to learn how to interact with and relate to people from all walks of life. However, Will knew that his dream since childhood was to become an attorney. Thus, after acclimating to his new life thousands of miles away from where he grew up, he knew it was time to realize that dream. To that end, Will accepted an offer of admission with a generous scholarship to the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. During his last semester, he worked as an extern for a Phoenix insurance defense firm. While at ASU, Will dedicated himself to learning as much as he could from the school’s extraordinarily knowledgeable professors. This included taking a course in family law taught by Judge Bruce Cohen, Presiding Judge of the Family Department of the Maricopa County Superior Court and one of Will’s favorite professors.. After earning his Juris Doctor degree, Will worked for a firm in Mesa. He initially worked as a criminal law clerk, but eventually transferred to the family law department. After working on family law cases and communicating with family law clients, Will knew that he found a practice area to which he could dedicate his legal career. His exposure to criminal law gave him valuable experience to prepare him for cases wherein the two practice areas intersect. However, through the time he spent working with family law clients, he found his most powerful source of motivation: his passion for guiding clients through the most tumultuous time of their lives.. That passion led Will to join Cantor Law Group, where providing clients with that guidance is central to the firm’s mission. Will thrives on complexity, whether that complexity derives from issues of property division, custody, or both. He dedicates himself to outsmarting and outworking the other side. At the same time, Will understands the emotional nuances of a family law matter and always keeps that in mind when interacting with and fighting for his clients.. In his free time, Will enjoys spending time with his wife, their dog Penny, and their cat Mooze.

Graduated from Scottsdale Coronado High School , May 1966.. Admitted to Arizona State University September, 1966. Political Science Major-pre law. Obtained Bachelor of Arts Degree from Arizona State University in May, 1970.. June, 1970 Enlisted in Arizona Air National Guard, 161st Air Refuling Group, materials facilities specialist.. August 1970 Admitted to Arizona State University College of Law (now called Sandra Day O'Connor School of Law). Clerkship with Debus, Busy and Greene-1972. Internship with Arizona Attorney General's Office, Criminal Appeals Division. Internship with Hon. Paul LaPrade, Maricopa County Superior court Judge. 1973. Received Juris Doctorate Degree from ASU in September, 1973. Admitted to practice of law September, 1973. Assistant Phoenix City Prosecutor 1973-1977. Deputy Maricopa County Attorney 1977-81. Private practice 1981-present.. About to start my 43rd year of practicing law. Early in my career I was a government prosecutor, going into court every day on behalf of the State of Arizona against various types of misdemeamor defendants. After a few years there, I was hired by the Maricopa County Attnorney's office to prosecute felony cases. I did that for about three years before entering private practice. The time I spent as a prosecutor was invaluable. I learned all about judges, juries, and having to prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt. I was very fortunate in those days to work with some of the best trial lawyers and judges in Arizona. I was lead counsel in about 100 or so jury trials. I even got to appear in front of Hon. Sandra Day O'Connor when she was a trial judge in Maricopa County Superior Court. You could tell even then that she was destined for higher calling. For those of us who were fortunate enough to have known her at that level, it was no surprise that she was selected by Pres. Ronald Reagan to be the first woman on the US Supreme Court.. When I first entered private practice, I handled mostly Domestic Relations cases-divorce, child custody, etc. I also represented criminal defendants, misdemeanor, felony, DUI, etc. In addition I had my first experiences representing people who had been injured, or families who lost a loved one, due to the negligence of others.(commonly referred to as Personal Injury and Wrongful Death). Because I had been involved in so many prosecutions that focused on the harm done to the victim(s) of crime, it was an easy transition to representing the people and families who had been harmed by the negligence of others. So it seems like my entire career, in one form or another, I have tried to help balance the scales of justice on behalf of people harmed by a wrongdoer. In the past 20 years I have focused on personal injury, wrongful death and criminal defense, including many DUI's and traffic-related cases. I believe that being on both sides of these cases, as attorney for the victim and the accused, is of mutual benefit to my clients. Knowing how the "other side" works helps me on either side.. Although I worked initially in private practice with a group of four other lawyers, since 1983 I have been a sole practicioner, incorporating officially into William S. Chick, PC in 1984. I have maintained that business profile ever since.. I have practiced all over the State of Arizona, but primariliy in Maricopa County. As far as my personal approach to the practice of law, I always try to remember the sage advice of my grandfather who told me: "if you take care of your flock, your flock will take care of you". I try to treat every case, big or small, in a way that will exempify the best in the legal profession. I do my best to give each and every client a dedicated, diligent, and thoroughly professional representation. I have been blessed with excellent paralegals and support staff over the years and look forward to many more opportunites to be of service to my clients. .

Years ago, I made the decision to practice law only in areas where I could significantly improve the quality of life of my clients: Practicing in the areas of injury law and immigration law provides me opportunities to improve the quality of life of my clients. I view my job as a calling. I believe in my clients and delve deep into their situations to find the right legal strategy.. Workers' Compensation. Work injuries affect the injured worker and their families. The consequence of a serious injury can be life-lasting. Unfortunately, many injured workers take a short-sighted approach to their situation. I help my clients prepare for the long term consequences of significant work injuries.. Immigration Law. Immigration laws are complex and onerous. I help my clients find the appropriate relief within the law. As a son of immigrants, I understand the seriousness of immigration consequences.. Personal Injury. Our system of laws provide relief and recovery for individuals injured at the negligent hands of another. The law sets legal requirements, however. I help my clients maximize and obtain the just compensation they deserve.
