Phenom status

Today this law firm got two of my charges dropped and seemed to do effortlessly. Lavonda and her team did this swiftly and painlessly with much compassion regarding the diameters of my case, with questions ready to be answered at any point in time. Five stars across the board! Will recommend in the f...uture for sure

As Good As Advertised

Had an unfortunate need to have an attorney. I initially went to an attorney that helped me out in the past. He refused to take this case and instead tried to turf me to a colleague of his who I researched and found that they had done something illegal and had been admonished in the past. PLUS, they ...wanted 5K to represent me. I received Mrs. Graham-Williams' advertisement in the mail. I researched her and other attorneys and used my gut feeling and decided to go with her. Am I glad I did! I called her and gave her the particulars of my case. She matter-of-factly told me that she thought she could get the issue resolved for me. She also quoted me a price that was substantially less than what was quoted by the other firm. Following her specific instructions, I was able to have my case handled expertly. I was facing a felony charge and potential jail time. Instead, the charge was downgraded to disorderly conduct. No jail time. I could not have asked for a better outcome! If you hire her, I suspect you will NOT be disappointed. She makes you feel comfortable, and she has a confident air about her. She's not cocky, nor full of herself. You will not regret having Mrs. Graham-Williams as your attorney. Thank you Mrs. Graham-Williams! You are a rockstar!!

Client

Atty Lavonda Graham is the best at what she does!!!!!!! She has worked miracles for my family! She personally handled our case when we were referred to her as initially, and that made us feel so safe and secure. Recently we were in court and had an issue that brought fear to our family, Atty Lavon...da Graham was able to get the case dismissed. I would recommend her services to anyone, and I have! Thanks Atty Graham
