At one time Atty Williams may have been a great lawyer. He is NOT one now. He failed to file documents, I had Judgement in my favor and he allowed the Defense Atty to file and bring a closed case back to court. His response to the Judge who literally said she was scratching her head on why he woul...d agree to reopen the case and have it go to trial, was "my bad". Well his bad cost me over $100k in damages. At trial he didn't submit evidence about my damages. Never called the defendant to the stand. Many other issues. The absolute worst representation or more like lack of. Should not be licensed anymore.

I hired Williams with a $5,000 retainer. The initial attempt in J R Williams filing of my complaint was totally in error and inconsistent with the 5-1/2 page complaint of facts that he was given. I was able to intervene and stop the filing, directing the firm to the facts that were already presente...d to them and that I had discussed with John in his office before rendering payment. There was another attorney that I had consulted earlier that had done some preliminary work on my case with discovery. Her work was impressive in my opinion, but she felt she lacked the financial resources to proceed. Maybe the funds presented to J R Williams would have been better spent with her efforts. Going into the deposition process, long after I had completed a 33 page interrogatory, I noted that the opposing party was not making any reference to the material that I presented during the interrogatory filings. Half way through the deposition, I asked John's associate if the opposing party had possession of the interrogatory. He said that apparently not and that he would look into it. In that moment I began to understand that none of my interrogatory would be allowed, because the time of discovery had long closed. I presented the material in a timely fashion, it was just not passed onto the opposing party. After my being deposed, I asked the William's associate, when the defendants would be deposed. I was told that they would not be deposed, with the comment that, "We don't show our hand." Hmm.....don't fill your hand, don't show your hand sounded like a peculiar position to me. J R continually assured me that there would be no position of the defendants to win on summary judgement. One day I got an email, with the subject, "Bad News." My case was lost in summary judgement. I requested that J R send me his firm's response to the defendant's request for summary judgement. As the defendants were never deposed and my interrogatory was not transferred to the opposing party during discovery, there was miserable little for a proper and diligent response. Whoever wrote the response for J R's firm was not at all skilled, and I wondered if an 8th grader could have presented a better response. In my opinion, a better heading for, "J R Williams and Associates," would be J R Williams and the Disassociated." Don't believe the hype of days gone by or get taken in my what seems to present a well managed law firm. Perhaps those days are passed?

John R. Williams & Associates is the firm to choose if you need effective representation. Mr. Williams personally oversees your case and he and his associates will work very hard on your behalf. His rates are reasonable and once he is retained you do not have to worry about anything. I would highl...y recommend this firm to anyone who needs a law firm to advocate on their behalf.
