William F. Gigray, III, of Nampa, was recently awarded the 2006 Professionalism Award from the Idaho State Bar. The Professionalism Award is an articulation of respect, appreciation and commendation from the recipient’s peers. It is one of the highest honors Idaho lawyers can receive during their careers.
Recipients are lawyers who have a reputation for civility, ability, diligence, integrity, courtesy and cooperation – epitomizing what it means to be a first-class attorney. Attorneys who exhibit these qualities have distinguished the profession through their conduct and service.
Gigray is a shareholder with White Peterson in Nampa. His practice areas are municipal law, local government law, personal injury, estate planning, probate, and corporate law. He received his law degree from the University of Idaho College of Law and was admitted to the Idaho State Bar in 1973. He is past president of the Third Judicial District Bar Association, past president and member of the board of directors for the Idaho Trial Lawyers Association, and a member of the Trial Lawyers of America.
Gigray is a native of Caldwell. Over the years he has been involved in his church and community. He has served as president of the Jaycees, Optimist Club, Greenbelt Civic League of Caldwell, Inc., and the Caldwell Foundation for Education Opportunity, Inc.
He feels that professionalism is grounded in respect for each other and the rule of law he and his legal peers serve. “How we conduct ourselves in this practice toward our clients, with the people we deal with on behalf our clients, and with each other matters a great deal,” he said. “Without professionalism, there is no profession.”
