About William
William Swafford built his academic foundation at Valparaiso University. He completed a Master of Science in International Commerce and Policy in 2005. A year later he earned his Juris Doctor from Valparaiso University School of Law. Those consecutive degrees shaped an early interest in how law and cross-border commerce interact.
After law school he established his practice credentials in Nevada. He is admitted to practice in that jurisdiction and has kept professional ties across state lines. His memberships include the Chicago Bar Association and the American Civil Liberties Union, both of which he lists as current affiliations. Those group connections reflect an ongoing engagement with legal developments and civil liberties conversations beyond a single courtroom.
Swafford founded the Law Offices of William Swafford LLC in 2022. He launched the firm as a small, independent practice. The move followed several years of private practice and professional involvement, during which he continued to refine the practical application of his academic training. He does not rely on law firm size to define his work. Instead, he positions the firm to handle matters that arise for clients in Nevada.
His professional approach is straightforward. He draws on the analytical training of his graduate and law degrees to parse statutory language and regulatory frameworks. He pays attention to procedural detail and to how policy choices affect clients in concrete ways. Colleagues note that he values clear communication and practical options over abstruse legal theory.
Outside the office he maintains active memberships that keep him engaged with peers and civil liberties issues. Participation in the Chicago Bar Association provides a forum for continuing legal education and professional networks. Membership in the ACLU signals an interest in broader civil rights conversations and public-interest perspectives.
Since founding his firm in 2022, Swafford has practiced through the Law Offices of William Swafford LLC. He represents clients in Nevada and handles legal matters arising under state law through his firm. His current practice centers on representing clients in Nevada through the Law Offices of William Swafford LLC.
