Simone Alston Williams

I hired Ms. Williams to represent me in a divorce case involving my military spouse. From the beginning, I expressed that my primary concern was the well-being of my children and being able to remain in my home. Unfortunately, I feel that my case was handled with negligence. Ms. Williams failed to... provide timely and essential information to help me prepare for court — for example, I was not advised in advance to obtain an appraisal for my home. As someone who does not go through divorce proceedings regularly, I depended on my attorney for guidance. This lack of communication nearly cost me my home. To make matters worse, Mr. Williams filed a lien against my property claiming I owed legal fees, which I dispute. Even after she was fully paid, the lien remained on my home and took over a year to be removed. In my opinion, Mr. Williams showed a lack of integrity and professionalism throughout the process. She appeared more focused on financial gain than on advocating for my interests. I would not recommend her services to others seeking compassionate and responsible legal representation.

Once hired -Very bad with returning emails and phone calls. She told me she was filing my case but instead went on vacation for a week. She didn't inform me she was going away and I didn't find out until I tried to reach her to follow-up on the status of my filing. She was not organized. When she ret...urned it was too late, so we lost jurisdiction! I asked her what are we going to do now and her response was "I don't know what you are going to do. You need to try to find an attorney in that jurisdiction." I had to go to that jurisdiction to file my own paperwork at the courthouse!!! She did finish out my case however, my case still has lingering issues and I don't feel comfortable reaching out to her because my experience was so bad. I would not recommend her services unless you are ready take on the work yourself!
