This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent estate and trust attorney

After my spouse died, Ms. Williams updated my will, living will, and powers of attorney, and helped me with estate planning in order to protect my assets for our children. Ms. Williams and her firm guided me through this process seamlessly and painlessly, and at a reasonable cost. She patiently exp...lained everything (in plain language), answered my questions, and was responsive to calls and emails. I sleep much better at night knowing that my affairs are in order and that my children are protected should something happen to me!

Avvo Rating

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.
