As a fifth-generation Sarasota attorney, Bill Robertson follows in the footsteps of his grandfather and great-grandfather, who first opened the Robertson and Robertson Law Firm in 1925. Mr. Robertson’s grandfather was also a former Sarasota mayor and WWI veteran, while his father and uncle both served in WWII. Additionally, his mother helped found the Junior League of Sarasota in the 1950s, playing an instrumental role in providing support for at-risk women and children and improving the Sarasota community through her volunteerism.

The Robertson family has been serving the Sarasota community for nearly a century. Mr. Robertson is proud to continue to uphold his family’s legacy by protecting the injured and giving back to veterans.

Alongside serving his community through an extensive legal career, attorney Bill Robertson has made giving back to U.S. military veterans a cornerstone of his life’s work. Mr. Robertson was raised in a military family, with his ancestors’ history of military service extending through World War I and II and even the Civil War. With gratitude for all those who have fought to protect America’s freedoms, he established the Helping Our Heroes nonprofit initiative in 2013 in order to help U.S. veterans receive financial assistance and gainful employment.
