Small town feel with big results

Barbara Williams and her associates were friendly and knowledgeable throughout the almost 2 year process following my son's auto accident. We always felt like we were important and we received a settlement that we were happy with. Highly recommend.

Consumate Professional

I came to Ms. Williams following a motorcycle accident in 2015, and an insurance dispute arose. From the moment that I initially met with Ms. Williams and her associate, Mr. Ford, I was struck by their commitment to honesty, their professionalism, and their warmth. They were careful to explain ca...refully those things which I did not immediately understand, and were excellent at keeping in touch with me, my doctors, and other resources to ensure that there was transparency from the beginning to the end of the process. Backed by an amazing team of professionals on their staff, I hope that I'll not have to call on their firm again, but have no doubt whatsoever that I would refer to them freely and without reservation.

Personal Injury

I hired Ms Williams to handle my personal injury claim after I was in a car accident that resulted in physical injury, missing work, doctor bills and total loss of my vehicle. Ms Williams and Ms Steele were speedy, efficient, kept in touch with me every step of the way. They settled my claim quick...ly, I was able to pay my bills, replace my car and I was reimbursed for all the work income I lost. I didn't have to worry about a thing and most importantly, it was a blessing to just leave the details and negotiating to the professionals! I highly recommend Williams Ford!

Personable and Professional

I hired Barbara William's after I was involved in a automobile accident. Right from the beginning she gave me practical advice that helped me throughout my case. Being involved in a lawsuit is very emotional and Barbara was always there to answer any questions I had as well as listen when I was fur...ious with my situation and then in tears over what had happened to me. I always received pertinent information in a timely manner and if for some reason I didn't respond, Wendy, her legal assistant always followed up with me to make sure I had gotten the information. I also always felt confident that Barbara was well versed in the law through education and previous experience. I knew I was in good hands. I hope to never personally need an attorney again, but I would use Barbara William's again and highly recommend her.
