Fryer in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia.

Bill began his trial practice in DeKalb County and quickly immersed himself in the community and local bar association, becoming a board member of the DeKalb Bar Association and serving in executive positions until becoming president in 1990–1991, at which time the Bar Association received numerous awards from the State Bar of Georgia.

Bill also received bar admission to the U.S. District Court, the Northern District of Georgia, U.S. Court of Appeals, the Eleventh Circuit, Georgia Court of Appeals, and the Georgia Supreme Court. He also has professional associations with the Atlanta Bar Association, the DeKalb Bar Association (President, 1990–1991), the Federal Bar Association, the State Bar of Georgia, the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, and the Lawyers Club of Atlanta.
