About William
William Ha studied political thought and argument before he stepped into law. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Political Science from the University of California, Irvine in 2004. He went on to complete his legal education at California Western School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2008. Those academic years placed him in classrooms where theory met practice and prepared him for a career across state lines.
After law school he entered private practice and later established his own firm. He is the founder of William Ha Law, A Professional Law Corporation. Over time he built a practice that reflects a lawyer who prefers direct engagement over distant advisories. He keeps his work grounded in the daily tasks of representing and advising clients, handling filings, court appearances, and negotiations himself rather than delegating those central matters entirely.
He is licensed to practice in both California and New Mexico. That dual licensure shapes how he approaches cases. It requires attention to two sets of procedural rules and two different court cultures. He is known among peers for navigating that practical side of multi-jurisdictional practice—scheduling depositions, coordinating filings, and ensuring compliance across state lines.
Ha maintains memberships in professional organizations relevant to his work. Those connections give him access to continuing education and to colleagues who practice in overlapping fields. Colleagues describe him as methodical in his preparation. He tends to focus on the concrete steps that move a case forward: pleadings that are clear, discovery that is thorough, and courtroom presentations that are organized.
Today he practices through William Ha Law, A Professional Law Corporation. The firm operates under his leadership and reflects the choices he has made about how a small practice should function: direct client contact, careful calendaring, and hands-on management of cases. He represents clients in matters brought in the jurisdictions where he is licensed and handles litigation and transactional work through his firm as needed.
