About William Thomas
William Thomas Toohey earned his law degree at New York Law School. He followed that formal training by entering practice in two of the nation’s busiest legal markets. His academic background provided the foundation for a career spent largely inside a private firm environment.
Toohey has worked as a lawyer at Stephen Bilkis & Associates. Over the years he has maintained bar memberships in both Florida and New York, and he is a current member of The Florida Bar. His responsibilities at the firm have included client counseling, case preparation, and appearances tied to matters that fall under the jurisdictions where he is licensed. Colleagues describe him as steady in court and methodical in files. He has handled a range of tasks that firms typically assign to experienced trial and transactional lawyers.
His career path has been steady rather than flashy. Toohey’s practical work at Stephen Bilkis & Associates has involved coordinating with other attorneys at the firm and managing client relationships. He has been part of teams that prepare pleadings, gather evidence, and present arguments where necessary. He has also been involved in the routine elements of law practice: drafting documents, conducting legal research, and advising clients on procedural steps. That combination of courtroom and office responsibilities shapes daily priorities and the way he allocates time between litigation and client advisement.
Outside of firm work, Toohey’s continuing membership in The Florida Bar keeps him connected to professional standards and licensing requirements in that state. Membership there indicates an ongoing engagement with Florida’s legal community. He remains admitted in New York, preserving his ability to practice in both states. Today he continues at Stephen Bilkis & Associates, handling matters that arise for the firm’s clients in Florida and New York. He currently practices at Stephen Bilkis & Associates, representing clients in matters before authorities and tribunals in the jurisdictions where he is licensed.
