"The world could use more attorneys like Joe Williams. Here is a man who has all of the skill and ability befitting one of Baltimore's most prominent and successful trial lawyers, but while many attorneys in a similar situation are driven by profit, Joe has always remembered that this the practice of law is first and foremost about people. In the field of personal injury law, clients are often going through the most difficult time in their lives. Joe remembers that and he exercises a level of patience and compassion that I have rarely seen elsewhere. A truly exceptional lawyer with truly exceptional character."
"Joseph Williams is a very knowledgeable and dedicated attorney with many years of trial experience. I have work with him on several personal injury cases and I can say from personal experience that he is very skilled and works hard to obtain a positive result for his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any personal injury case."
