About William Ferchland
Will Ferchland brings a lifelong dedication to the law and a deep commitment to advocating for the underdog. Before becoming an attorney, he spent six years as an award-winning journalist In the Lake Tahoe region. This background honed invaluable communication skills and instilled a profound understanding that everyone has a story—and a voice—that deserves to be heard.
He clerked at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office and worked for an insurance defense firm shortly after law school. This tenure on the defense side provided an inside knowledge of insurance company tactics and strategies. Armed with this insight, he returned to the family business in 2014 to champion the rights of injured workers, navigating the complexities of the workers’ compensation system with skill and precision.
Today, Will is a California State Bar Certified Specialist in Workers’ Compensation (based on years in practice as well as experience) and proudly carries on a multi-generational family tradition of legal excellence that dates back to the 1970s. As the head of Ferchland Law Office, he serves as an unflinching advocate and steady counsel for clients facing workplace injuries. When he isn’t fighting for his clients, Will lives in Sonoma County with his wife, three daughters, and their rescue dog, enjoying the vibrant community he is proud to protect.
