William Sciales concentrates his practice on the defense of doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and associated staff. He was one of 20 nominated finalists who successfully completed Wilson Elser’s rigorous Mock Trial Invitational through which our most successful trial lawyers impart their knowledge to those destined to join their ranks.

Prior to joining Wilson Elser, William sharpened his litigation skills by appearing almost daily in the various courts of the State of New York, where he focused his practice in a number of areas, including commercial automobile, premises liability and general criminal defense. Prior to that, he worked in criminal defense, defending all manner of allegations from various white-collar crimes and enterprise corruption to street crimes such as larceny, assault and drug-related matters. William's diverse experience has given him a broad perspective that helps him to find innovative solutions to difficult problems.
