As a 3rd generation Floridian, born and raised in Palm Beach County, Bill Bone is a champion of many causes and communities.
It is hard to put this exuberant human into one category and the same applies to his identity. Bill Bone is a Board-Certified Trial Lawyer, winning $100’s of millions of dollars in jury verdicts and settlements for his clients.
He is highly regarded by the many diverse organizations he supports with his time, talent, and fortune, including the Compass Community Center in Lake Worth, The Kravis Center, The Chamber of Commerce, THE FUND for West Palm Beach Police, SMART Ride, Legal Aid, Palm Beach Dramaworks, and Healthy Mothers/Healthy Babies.
As a community activist, he’s held leadership roles in dozens of charities, service clubs and not-for-profit organizations. As a gifted and sought-after public speaker, he’s wowed audiences with his local knowledge of history and people. His Alma Mater named him to the UF Hall of Fame, and Palm Beach County School District declared him a Distinguished Alumnus. He is listed in the book: Best Lawyers in America, and Super Lawyers calls him one of the nation’s best in his field.
He produces dozens of athletic events every year like the Bill Bone Tropical Triathlon and the Bill Bone 5K. But of all the things he has done, he notes that raising 4 children as an authentic LGBTQ father is his greatest accomplishment.
