Anastasa S. Williams

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

Hiring Anastasa was the best decision I made with the custody issue I'm having. Anastasa is hard charging and wasted no time getting the information and paperwork CYF told me they didn't have yet. She answers my phone calls even outside of business hours and never deflected or mumbled through my ques...tions and in my opinion said what it was even if I might not like the answer. Also unlike other attorneys I talked to about this issue she never guaranteed anything and when it comes to custody issues you can't and best of all she was affordable and I never once thought Anastasa was thinking about money unlike other 10 attorneys that started with a free consultation only to say it would be an unaffordable amount of money for them to represent me. If you're in need of an attorney give Anastasa Williams a call I will for the rest of my life.
