William Routsis
 Based out of Reno, Nevada, William Routsis is a criminal
defense attorney who practices in both Nevada and California.
In 2007, William Routsis successfully defended client Rodney
John Sency in a manslaughter case.
In 2002 South Shore auto mechanic Rodney John Sency was
involved in an argument with Edward Ortega after Sency let
Ortega go from his masonry job. Ortega grew angry and the
argument escalated, eventually leading to his death. Sency’s
lawyers professed that Sency was acting in self-defense after
Ortega began attacking him. How Sency handled Ortega’s
body is what led to a manslaughter charge. Sency pushed the
body off of a cliff to make Ortega’s death appear like an
accident.
However, it was revealed during the trial
that Ortega had a violent past, with several
prior assault charges against him. Sency’s
lawyer convinced the jury to lessen the
sentence to misdemeanors in relation to
trying to cover up the incident.
