About William T. Bill
William T. Bill McAdams grew up studying the interplay of politics and history. He earned a B.A. in political science and history from Baylor University in 1994 and went on to receive his J.D. from Drake University in 1999. Those years on campus shaped a practical approach to law that shows in how he manages cases today.
He began his legal career in private practice. In 2000 he worked as an associate at Ledbetter and Associates. Two years later he formed a legal entity under his own name, William T. McAdams, LLC, serving as managing lawyer. That move into leadership was followed by time in public service. In 2004 he served as a deputy district lawyer in the Weld County District Lawyer's Office, gaining experience inside the courthouse.
By 2006 his path included roles both inside and outside government. Records list him that year as managing lawyer at McAdams Law Office and as an associate at the Law Office of Robert McCormick. The variety of roles reflects a willingness to move between the bench-side work of a public office and the case-driven pace of private practice.
McAdams maintains steady ties to professional associations that align with criminal defense work. He has been a member of the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar since 2006 and joined the National College for DUI Defense in 2009. He is also a member of the DUI Defense Lawyer Association, the Colorado Bar Association’s Public and Legal Services section, and the Weld County Bar Association. Those memberships have been continuous in recent years and suggest a practice informed by peer networks and continuing legal education.
His jurisdictional license is in Colorado. Over the years he has handled matters that commonly arise in state criminal and DUI dockets. Colleagues describe him as someone who moves between courtroom advocacy and case preparation without losing sight of procedural details. Clients who come through his office find an attorney familiar with both local courts and the procedural demands of criminal defense work.
McAdams maintains an office in the Chase Bank Building. He continues to practice law in Colorado, taking cases that involve criminal charges and DUI-related matters.
He currently practices from an office in the Chase Bank Building, handling criminal defense and DUI cases.
