Anastasa S. Williams

When I hired Mrs Williams I was told that the 500$ would cover all legal paper work, the court appearance, and she would be able to answer any and all questions in a reasonable manner considering she is a independent practice. Well my custody battle started In December of 2017 she is not holding my c...ourt order that needs sent to me and signed to be official because she wants another 250$ just for her signature and to be mailed out to me.. considering there was no paper work after the first and only court appearance. This should be considered the legal paperwork she said she would file when I paid her the first 500$. She is a complete rip off and now there will be no custody order because I refuse to pay her even more when she did nothing the first time

I hired Anastasa Williams as my Family Law attorney on August 1, 2017. The agreement was very clear to indicate that Attorney Williams would be responsible for attending court hearings, preparing required court documents, and providing me (the client) with any and all correspondence from Family Court.... It's also clear that she would be well-versed in family law and that she would be able to communicate with the judges and me (with questions) in a timely manner. Well, this was not at all the case. At our first hearing, she spent several minutes speaking with other clients about their case while I was standing right there hoping to discuss and prepare for our hearing with the judge that would determine where my kids attended school (possibly for their entire lives). She did not present well to the judge, did not answer questions regarding the case (I did) and was unable to present a solid case. Communication with Attorney Williams was disappointing. She operates mainly via texting and takes days to respond. Often with, "I'm busy, will get back to you later". One time on the day after Thanksgiving, she responded to my very important questions regarding our impending custody trial with "I can't call. You can start working on the paperwork and what you think is important. I'm spending time with family..." - direct quote from text message. When it came time to prepare for the trial, she refused to prepare the pretrial statement as we had agreed, and I was forced to prepare them myself – even though the main reason I hired an attorney is so I wouldn’t have to do that anymore. BE VERY CAREFUL in considering this attorney for your case. As other reviewers mentioned, she is CHEAP, but that comes with inexperience. LOOK ELSEWHERE for an attorney

I had a case that went before CYF for truancy. My case involved my son that missed school due to medical issues. Our case became extremely difficult and there were people from my son's school that seemed to be gunning for us no matter what we acomplished through recommendations from the court. Ms. Wi...lliams always stayed calm and directed me in the appropriate manner. No matter what curve ball they sent our way, she always had an answer! She is a woman that truly cares about her clients and thier well being. She is a different breed of lawyer that isn't all about the money and what she can get. Yet she is worth EVERY dollar and then some! Our family owes Ms. Williams everything! We are so grateful for all that she has done. I will recommend her to anyone I meet that needs this kind of service!

We interviewed several attorneys to help us with a custody issue. One conversation with Ms. Williams and we knew we were in good hands. She made the process as painless as possible and quickly resolved all issues. Even responded to us while on vacation. Ran circles around the other attorney. Although... her rates are very manageable, she proves she is not an attorney for the money! So very grateful for Ms. Williams!!!
