I wish I had known better.

I was very disappointed about the outcome of the divorce. I feel I didn't get the advice and support I needed. I was hardly able to think for myself at the time after years of mental, psychological and verbal abuse from my former spouse. I was relying on Ms. Williams to negotiate the agreement whic...h turned out to be worse than if I had negotiated it myself. The legal fees cost me an arm and a leg. I wish I had known better.

Horrible Representation

I was very disappointed about the outcome of my child custody case. Ms. Alanna was not prepared, didn't know key facts of my case, and did a horrible job presenting to the judge. She was an amateur in the court room. She dismissed a key witness in my case without my approval, didn’t respond to my ema...ils and was unorganized. I’m sure if you're going through a child custody case it’s a very tough time in your life. Mrs. Williams did not provide sound advice, dedication, or adequate representation. I would not recommend this lawyer to anyone.

Excelente Trabajo Profesional

Desde la primera consulta me inspiro confianza y me indico la forma de proceder de mi caso y los resultados que se podia conseguir, y fue asi que todo lo que me dijo se cumplio a lo largo del proceso, al final tube un resultado satisfactorio.

I hired Ms. Williams as my divorce attorney. Everything went very smooth and professional. She gave me an excellent service and yes I would definitely recommend her.

Superb Lawyer: Strategic, Resourceful, Experienced, Understanding, Expertly Knowledgeable

Alanna handled my separation, child custody and divorce brilliantly, without wasted time or effort, and to my complete satisfaction. She advised me on what to expect each step of the process; gave me outstanding, professional legal recommendations with thorough explanations and likely outcomes at ev...ery point where I needed to make a decision; provided grounded, experienced, comprehending counsel that helped me focus on moving forward; and brought to closure an unpleasant chapter in a manner that left me feeling like the legal matters at hand and the foreseeable future issues were resolved, in writing, to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Ms. Williams.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
