He is also the General Counsel for the Silent Heroes of the Cold War Memorial Committee. William Devine holds extensive experience in consumer bankruptcy law and debt collections law, as well as intellectual property matters. In April 2014, William started his own firm, Devine Law Firm PLLC, with one other attorney and three staff members to shift the focus of his practice towards helping more individuals and consumers directly. The new firm expands the areas of practice that William provides his clients adding personal injury and family law services to his bankruptcy, real estate, asset protection, and civil litigation practice. Prior to Devine Law Firm, William was a named partner in the law firm of Rainey Devine. After joining Rainey Legal Group, which changed its name to Rainey Devine, William was critical in expanding the firm from two attorneys to a five attorney firm that handled both consumer and corporate work. Prior to joining Rainey Devine, William was an associate attorney in the Intellectual Property practice group of Armstrong Teasdale, a nearly 300 attorney firm with offices throughout the country. During that time, William practiced exclusively in the area of patent prosecution in the electrical, computer science, and electro‑mechanical technology arts. William has drafted numerous patent applications and has successfully prosecuted and obtained multiple patents for such clients as General Electric, Washington University, and BHA Group. Other firm clients have included inventors from India, China, Scotland, England, and of course the United States. While in law school, William worked for 2 1/2 years as a law clerk for a Las Vegas general practice attorney and gained experience in a multitude of practice areas, include civil litigation, family law, real estate, and self-insurance for worker’s compensation matters. William also managed the day-to-day operations of the attorney’s tax audit defense practice. Also, while in law school, William gained significant exposure to bankruptcy practice, while serving as a judicial extern to the Honorable Linda B. Riegle of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Nevada. Prior to becoming an attorney, William was a technology consultant in the emerging Internet industry, and held various technical management and executive positions with multiple technology start-ups in and around Houston, Texas during the nineties. William uses his vast technology experience to improve the efficiency of his practice and client communication. William remains an active participant in the UNLV/Boyd Alumni association and has spoken multiple times for the UNLV MBA New Ventures Management course speaking to the business aspects of intellectual property law. William is also an active tribal member of the Eastern Shawnee of Oklahoma, serving on the Tribe’s Constitutional Review Committee.

Very thankful for William Devine! He is incredibly knowledgeable, always responsive and really had our best interest at heart. After having bad experiences in the past other law firms Mr. Devine has completely changed my outlook on the entire process. He went above and beyond our expectations!! He was recommended to us and we absolutely know why. We now also highly recommend him and will be passing his info to friends and family that might need his services.
William answered our question promptly and completely. We’d consider him for legal counsel if we needed it. Thanks William.
Mr. Devine and his staff assisted me a year ago with my bankruptcy. He and his staff were professional, knowledgeable and proficient during this process. In addition William has responded quite timely with my follow up questions since my bankruptcy was discharged. I have and will continue to refer Mr. Devine for legal services. He has demonstrated that if the situation is not something he handles, he will offer referrals. For example; I contacted William on behalf of a friend who purchased a new home. She was unsatisfied with the home builder. William provided two referrals. He helped me help my friend.
I found Mr. Devine's firm through my employer and my decision to hire him was a no-brainer. His online reviews are outstanding and I knew that I was going to get the help I needed. I was in a very tight spot with my finances, but after weeks of research and various consultations, I decided to file for bankruptcy with Mr. Devine's assistance. He made the entire process extremely easy to understand and promptly communicated updates to me as needed. He made an easily stressful situation into an unforgettable one and I am very happy with the outcome of my case.
We hired William Devine, not because we are in a BK, but because my husband and I must defend ourselves against his ex wife's, bankruptcy. We feel that Mr. Devine was well worth the retainer to know that we will be represented by someone, who knows Bankruptcy and who knows his way around the courts. William Devine has the knowledge to understand the intricacies of what we are both involved in and up against, having a vexatious ex who cannot move on, in her life... I would not hesitate to recommend William Devine or his Law Firm for anyone seeking a Bankruptcy or was involved in a Personal Injury situation..
William assisted my family with the creation of a will, trust, and advanced directives. The entire process was easy and he took all the time we needed to explain the legal options and recommendations as we navigated through everything. When everything was finished, William provided us with a professional binder of all of our documents as well as forms to assist us in providing the state with our advanced directives and our bank and the DMV with information to transfer assets into the trust. I have already recommended him to others and would use him again if the need arises. Overall, it was a great experience and I felt very confident in his knowledge of the law.
I contacted Mr. Divine's office on a Friday morning, and he called me back Friday afternoon for a free consultation. He understood exactly what my issue was regarding a property I was administering as a Trustee that had been foreclosed on for HOA dues delinquency. He knew exactly the right questions. He was able to look up the property and respond exactly about it as we spoke. He could explain the unusual nature of Nevada law in this circumstance, and how it affected the heirs of the estate. He was up front that there was really nothing he could do in terms of litigation, but he was very helpful in terms of alternatives I could pursue to get some relief from other creditors that were unrelentingly pursuing for the deceased's debts. He id all of this graciously in less than an hour at no charge. I was so impressed that if I am ever in need of legal services in the future within his specialties, I would certainly call him.
I am the President and Chairman of the Nevada Holistic Chamber of Commerce. I have called on William in many litigation issues over the years. He is helpful and caring, and makes me feel like I have a friend protecting and advocating for me. His "Eagle Scout" days have carried into his adult life and framed his ideas and approach to his work. I respect his sense of duty to what is right and to always be prepared. He understands the law in the areas he practices, and I am blessed to have him on my professional support team. I whole heartedly recommend him as an attorney.
William is an amazing lawyer. He saved us from having to pay $150,000.00 and protected our rights. We had went to another lawyer first , who just wanted our money & to push us into a Chapter 13 when it wasn't needed. I would recommend William any day of the week. If your ever in a jam go and see him. Again, thanks for everything!
William worked hard for us.
