Smith Civil Rights Lawyers

William J. Routsis II is licensed to practice law in both Nevada and California and has provided relentless representation to individuals charged with crimes for more than two decades.

I am currently a civil government attorney in Reno, Nevada and cannot represent private clients. I have been an attorney for 19+ years with experience in business law, civil rights law, criminal law, city ordinance writing and code enforcement. Serving as a Deputy City Attorney has required me to practice in all aspects of the law including providing legal advice to the elected members. I always bring a positive attitude to any project I am tackling. In addition to working for the city, I have been teaching law classes at the community college since 2008.

I am the owner of Piccolo Law Offices, an attorney, and a counselor at law. I serve clients in Nevada and Utah. I have a client-centered practice. I enjoy interacting with my clients directly and working personally to meet their legal needs from beginning to end. I keep my fees affordable by maintaining low overhead costs and by being efficient. I primarily practice employment law representing employees, but I also do civil rights and constitutional law. For civil rights, my focus is public accommodations and other discrimination; I do not handle prisoner or police misconduct cases.
