    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 future for sure

    As Good As Advertised

    Posted by

    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!!

    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 Lavonda Graham was able to get the case dismissed. I would recommend her services to anyone, and I have! Thanks Atty Graham

    Excellent firm, highly recommend

    Posted by

    After a bad situation with my first attorney, I desperately searched for new counsel. This is when someone suggested Lavonda Graham Williams. I knew I was in good hands the moment I spoke with Attorney Graham Williams. She is so intelligent and compassionate, even from initial contact. If you’re looking for the best outcome, please hire representation from this firm and take their advice. It will work in your favor. Thank you so much to Attorney Lavonda Graham Williams and her excellent team. They worked so hard to have my case dismissed!!!!

    Superb attorney

    I trust Lavonda with my life! I’ve been going to her for years now and have recommended her to numerous friends. In the end you’re always leaving the courtroom with a smile. She has kept me out of incarsoration multiple times. Very knowledgeable, and communicates with her clients well. Highly recommend

    The best at what she does

    Posted by

    Lavonda is the best attorney I have ever had she has always been honest and up front with me and gotten me great out comes in a verity of drug and larceny cases. When I thought there was no light she ended up being that for me. She has in most situations gotten me less time than the guidelines called for and given me time to handle my personal affairs. I continue to reccomend her to people I know in need of counsel. They too are always happy with the out come. I am one of her clients that already had several felonies on my record and she has gotten the court to send me to programs and gotten me off and cases dismissed. She is very well respected in the metro area courts and her peers think very highly of her. I look in other places yet I always end up in her office!!!! I trust and respect her judgement because I know she is working in my favor and shall never under cut me or sell me short. This means the world to me so thank you!!!
