 Serving clients in Reno, Nevada, William Routsis is an
experienced defense attorney who has handled a wide range
of homicide and other criminal cases. In 2013, William Routsis
got his client, Jeffrey Spencer, acquitted of elder abuse
charges. The case resulted from the defendant having
allegedly knocked down a 78-year-old man, who was visiting
his twin brother, with a snowplow.
Representing the defendant, Mr. Routsis put fellow community
members on the stand as character witnesses for Mr.
Spencer, and they spoke highly of him as an individual and
said he displayed professionalism in his snowplowing
activities.
 In addition, Mr. Routsis presented
surveillance cameras of the property that did
not show the incident as the plaintiff had
described it. Instead of an attack, it simply
showed the defendant questioning who was
on his property at night. When the elderly
man declined to identify himself, Mr. Spencer
assumed he was a burglar. Despite this,
video evidence showed no evidence of a
physical or verbal assault.
