Awesome Attorney

I hired Ms. Williams to represent me in a custody case in 2021, and was very helpful through the entire process. She just helped me win our custody case and I could not be happier! Thanks so much for the help and support. Would definitely recommend her to anyone going through a custody case.

Excellent Attorney

I have retained Simone Williams services in 2018 for custody / child support battle. She has won a hand full of my cases as the plaintiff kept filing a new cases. Simone goes above and beyond to review documents and flag error in petitions. She is a true winner, Thanks to her, I can finally t...urn the page and focus on rebuilding a relationship with my son. I had a chance to teach him how to drive, watch him graduate from high school early and will be seeing him go to college. My experience with Simone was amazing. I would recommend retaining her services as an attorney. Thank you Simone for reuniting me with my son.

Ditto

See terrible, worthless, misled and disappointed comments. I started out feeling like Ms. Williams was very capable and felt things would be handled in a proffesional and timely manner. Unfortunately, it soon became apparent this was not the case! Ms. Williams was unorganized and not prepared for m...y case. I feel she mislead me on several occasions, did not return emails or phone messages. She overcharged and mishandled my case, costing me a considerable amount of money. Ms. Williams showed no concern for my case and demonstrated a complete lack of integrity. did not fight for my rights or even inform, me. expected me to know the law and the process. refused to have a prep meeting prior to mediation. Did not provide legal advice during mediation. Basically was a $400 per hr clerk. I do not trust simone all she wants is the money and I had the most terrible experience having her as a lawyer.

Helped me with my custody case

Years ago Simone helped me with my custody case. She was very professional, understanding, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney in the Charlotte area.

Answer all my questions

I had a consultation with Simone she was very knowledgeable in specialty family law, she was a good listener, and told me what my rights were and my resolution. I would definitely recommend her.
