Posted by Charles | November 6, 2015 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Attorney Nisha Williams exemplifies 'Integrity'

Not only did she believe in me, she actually understood my deteriorated situation and felt enough compassion to work with me on the terms of her retainer. Allowing me ample time and opportunity to pay her in installments up to the point of my court date. I appreciated the fact that she was upfron...t with me as well as very informative in light of what to expect as my case progressed. I know that having a well-versed attorney surely can influence the outcome of ones case. She maintained positive contact with me throughout and handled my case very professionally and to be quite honest, she even followed through with me on the aftermath of my case, although the term of the retainer had expired. It is this--her heart-felt compassion for people and her work in her community, that led me to Mrs. Williams. As I told her, it was truly a blessing to have met her; to bring about the process of total reconciliation of my legal affairs. May I submit Attorney Nisha G. Williams, as highly favored and most highly recommended as a multi-faceted and extremely capable attorney for a myriad of general or even specialized concerns a person may have. (services rendered July 2015 thru Oct. 2015)

Satisfied

Attorney Williams did an excellent job at handling my case. She was swift and provided me with the results that she said she would provide in the time frame she said she would. I'm extremely pleased with her.

Very Disappointed

Ms. Williams took on our custody case and although she was "affordable", she lacked experience in custody, domestic violence and abuse issues. After we hired her, she did not speak in our hearing and allowed another lawyer, unfamiliar with our case, to take the lead in court, resulting in evidence an...d information that we had gathered not being presented to the judge on our behalf. Subsequently, we lost custody of our child. We sent numerous documents to Ms. Williams that we felt supported our case, and even though she acknowledged receipt of those items in a timely manner, we felt that she did not properly review them to set our case up in court. Ms. Williams gave us advice about child-support that we later found was inaccurate; and did not inform us entirely of our rights as we asked her to do. Her last-minute, night-before the hearing phone call about "how we were going to approach this" (our case) left us uneasy, very disturbed and completely anxious all night and though the court hearing. We felt very unrepresented and that she did the least possible for the money given to her (which was a lot for our family). We were very disappointed with her "services."

Excellent lawyer!

Nisha is the greatest lawyer I've ever had dealing with my court cases. She has managed to help me not once but twice, out of situations that could have negatively affected my record. I definitely recommend Nisha to anyone who is in need of a lawyer!

Nisha Williams Review

Mrs. Williams offered me great legal advice on an underage drinking ticket that I received several years back. I did not complete the obligation that was needed of me to close this case. She provided me with my best option and it was successful. She was very informative, easy to get in contact with, ...and provided me with future advice to get this expunged from my record.
