Simone Alston Williams

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!

I retained Simone and her team after a decent consultation. After never being able to get a hold of her again, and having multiple issues with her team ( they were sending me the wrong information, sending me private information about other people's cases on accident, submitting the wrong paper work,... etc.) I decided to attempt to reclaim my retainer. When I showed up at the office and confronted Simone on her firms incompetence, she became angry and rude. She kept all of my money and I was forced to pay out of pocket for another and more competent attorney. I wasted thousands of dollars by retaining Simone Williams. I would stay far far away from this unprofessional and incompetent attorney.

I have a child custody case and my paperwork was sent to the wrong address taking my right to respond to a child custody case simone did not fight for my right in court and was getting my last name mixed up with the defendant and our names are no where similiar she was seeming incompetent to the cour...t. She doesnt meet with you ,make ger client a priority and her team makes the excuse of her having 50-80 clients as to why she is so forgetfull she bites off more than she can chew I terminated services after 3 months of her getting nothing done with my case and emailing her relatively every week repeating myself and her seemingly advocating for the defendant I gave her 1300.00 and she didnt want to refund me even thougj she did absolutely nothing did not help me and put my child in danger and then has an attitude when you correct her no im left to defend myself in my child custody case I do not trust simone all she wants is the money and I had the most terrible experience having her as a lawyer I will not recommend her at all.

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 my case. I feel she mislead me on several occasions, did not r...eturn 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.

Ms. Williams represented me with my child custody case and even though I wasn't awarded primary custody of my daughters, my reasonable and liberal visitation, three states away proved unbearable for dad. There was an new incident with one of my daughter's and I reacted as any mother would. I emaile...d Ms. Williams on a Sunday and she responded the following day with advice to help protect myself and my daughters. I'm satisfied with her representation, but she is a one woman show! So be patient, remain honest and update her and she or her assistant, Christina, will respond! :)
