About William R
William R Fuhrman has practiced law in California for decades and is admitted to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He is a familiar presence in local bar circles and in the courtroom. His career is marked by long-standing professional memberships and community service that date back to the 1970s.
Fuhrman has been a member of the California Bar Association since 1974. He joined the San Diego County Bar Association in 1977 and has remained active there for years. In 2006 he added membership in the North County Bar Association. Those memberships reflect steady ties to the legal community rather than short-term affiliations.
Early in his professional life he also took on responsibilities outside the courtroom. From 1979 to 1987 he served on the board of Big Brothers of San Diego County and held the role of president during that period. That eight-year stretch on the board included leadership duties and program oversight at a time when the organization was expanding services in the county.
He maintains a practice under the name LAW OFFICE of WILLIAM R FUHRMAN. The office represents clients in matters that require both state and federal filings, and he continues to appear in courts across the region. His credential to practice before the Ninth Circuit supports appellate work when it is necessary to bring cases beyond the trial level.
Colleagues describe Fuhrman as steady and deliberate. He has kept a low profile in terms of publicity, preferring to work through professional channels and bar association activities. That approach has produced long-term professional relationships in San Diego and in northern parts of the county where he holds membership in local bar groups.
Across a career spanning more than four decades, Fuhrman’s record is one of continuity. He has held a combination of private practice responsibilities and civic roles. He remains a member of the San Diego County Bar Association, the North County Bar Association, and the California Bar Association. He also retains his association with the Ninth Circuit as a jurisdiction in which he may practice.
He currently maintains the LAW OFFICE of WILLIAM R FUHRMAN and continues to handle matters in California state and federal courts.
