This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Ugh! What a terrible experience!!

Let me start by saying that I wish I had gone with someone else. Make that anyone else. Elyssa puts on a slick sales pitch to entice you to hire her. But she does not follow through. She botched up paperwork that cost me more $ since she insisted on billing more hours for this. Then we lost my case! ...She also seems to have priorities outside of her work life that get in the way of being an effective attorney. She is more like a house wife that happens to have a law degree. If she went through school with the same attitude as she has with practicing law, she would have never become a lawyer. I advise you to hire someone else.

Avoid! You will lose a LOT of $ using her!!

Just a terrible experience using this lawyer! She was intimidated by opposing counsel, late for client meetings and always asking for items that were already provided. Then she had the gall to ask for more $ if she "wanted to continue representation"! I felt I was taken advantage of by a shiester! an...d to make things worse, she made recommendations that made my case worse! AVOID ELYSSA WILLIAMS LiKE THE PLAGUE!! If I could give a ZERO STAR RATING, I would!

Accuracy, Wisdom and Speed

Elyssa Williams, the best lawyer I have ever worked with in the most difficult time, season, climate, and situation in my life. She is the most compassionate, kind, professional, skillful, masterful, beautiful, prompt, no nonsense, dignified, caring, patient, detailed, intelligent lawyer that I have... met. My mother died from grief and poor help days before I called, my mind and heart was so overwhelmed I could hardly construct a sentence to communicate. But in my heart, and in memory of my mother, I just wanted a chance to live beyond my mistakes--a second chance. Within minutes of speaking with her and giving her the details of what I needed, despite what I was owed, she translated and interpreted my words with ease, accuracy, wisdom and speed. By the following week, my hope increased. During the process, I experienced her care and compassion for people during every conversation. She always answered my calls and always returned them promptly giving me her expert advice and encouraging me along the way. If you're looking for a lawyer during this PANDEMIC she will help make things better, not worst.

Efficient and reasoneable

We have used Elyssa for our uncontested divorced and it want very smoothly. Elyssa asked for all the necessary information and produce the documents fast, she re-checked all the information and enquirer when a doubt. Her fees were also very reasonable. I thank Elyssa for being such thorough pers...on and very honest. If I need to get another divorced (Hopefully not), I will choose her again without hesitation.

Fierce, protective advocate!

Having had experience with many lawyers over the years, Ms. Williams was easily one of the best! She listens and advises. She fights for your rights. She helped me through a very awkward divorce situation in a very short amount of time. She also helped me keep my ultimate goal in mind and not get... caught up in the drama. I would highly recommend her her professional and caring services.
