GETTING TO KNOW WILLIAM MAROHN OF TOBIN & MAROHN
- As far as the ARM industry is concerned, it’s a good thing that Bill Marohn didn’t stand up in 9th grade and say he wanted to be a ditch digger or rodeo clown. He said he wanted to be a lawyer that day, and the rest is history. For more than two decades, Bill has dedicated himself to creditor’s rights and has established himself as one of the most respected minds in the industry. Read on to learn more about Bill and how he finds the time to be at the office before the crack of dawn, work a full day, and then coach three sports teams at night.

Duguid.
