William L. Brown is a trial attorney at Hurley Burish in Madison, Wisconsin, with a practice focused on civil litigation, personal injury, and criminal defense.

Bill has spent his entire career in the courtroom. He has litigated over 2,000 cases and tried well over 100 jury trials to verdict — experience that spans civil disputes, personal injury matters, and some of the most complex and high-profile criminal cases in Wisconsin’s recent history.

Before joining Hurley Burish, Bill spent four years in private practice at Kasieta Legal Group in Madison, where he represented individuals, businesses, banks, non-profits, and other organizations across a wide range of civil matters. He then spent a decade as a Deputy District Attorney in the Dane County District Attorney’s Office — the second-largest prosecutor’s office in Wisconsin — where he held a senior leadership role supervising dozens of attorneys. In 2025, the Wisconsin District Attorneys’ Association named Bill as the Deputy District Attorney of the Year.

On a personal level, Bill is an avid outdoorsman. He and his family have visited all 50 of Wisconsin’s State Parks and are currently checking off National Parks throughout the country. He also earned his law degree from the University of Wisconsin Law School.
