Mr. Steve Williams, Esq.

I hired Mr. Williams after he came highly recommended to me and I am happy that I did. From the first consultation to our last court date, Mr. Williams always proved himself to be professional, hardworking and most of all kind. He represented my teenage son in a case and I believe he literally put bl...ood, sweat and tears into his handling of the case. I, along with my son is very grateful to Mr. Williams and I would highly recommend him and his team for all your legal matters.

A Closer Indeed

Steve Williams has represented me during several real estate transactions over the last 16 years. With a calm demeanor and strong advocacy, he has brought these deals to a close in even the most tumultuous housing market. Mr. Williams is extremely considerate and respectful, and always goes the ext...ra mile for his clients. He also has an excellent rapport with other attorneys and legal professionals. I highly recommend Mr. Williams.

Steve Garfield Williams, Esq.

It was my good fortune to be able to engage Mr. Williams as my lawyer to assist me in the thorny legal process that was triggered when my now ex-spouse decided to divorce me. Mr. Williams expertly defended me, protecting my rights and those of my two sons, helping me first of all deal with an aggress...ive first move by the other party and subsequently at every step of the day, as we hammered out an agreement governing custody and maintenance. In the course of a more than 12-month long process, I had the benefit of a steady hand at the helm, being able to call on Mr. Williams' vast experience in matrimonial law and rely on his reassurance at those times when the process triggered uncertainty and anxiety on my part. Time and again, Mr. Williams made himself available for advice and suggestions, always responding quickly to calls or emails. On several occasions Mr. Williams went out of his way--quite literally--to make things easier for his client. Throughout the process, I felt the assurance of being guided by a legal expert who knew what he was doing and who put his expertise to work for the benefit of his client. It is hard to overstate the comfort of having someone in my corner during painful court appearances and during at times tense mediation sessions, and all along all the back and forth involved in the legal negotiations. Besides his obvious knowledge and experience, Mr. Williams' bedside manner is of the first order and I am deeply grateful to him.
