      Review Patricia Williams

      Couldn't have picked a BETTER Lawyer than Patricia!

      Posted by

      Patricia will go beyond the limits to help you with anything and I loved working with her on our Bankruptcy. She always kept us informed of what was going on and what needed to be done next! Awesome Lawyer and I would/will recommend her to anyone needing a Bankruptcy Lawyer! Thanks Patricia for all you did for us!!

      Excellent! Great personal service!

      Posted by

      We never planned to be in this situation, but it was nice to have Patty help us through a difficult process. She was always available personally. It was nice not dealing with a huge firm that only viewed our case as a number. She was very helpful, kind, and understanding.

      Exceptional Guidance

      Posted by

      I contacted Patty at a time when I was experiencing great financial fear and confusion...I did not know where to turn. She was the second bankruptcy attorney that I contacted, and without a doubt, I felt completely confident that she would work on my behalf...no matter what. During our second appointment, she clearly explained why bankruptcy, in my case, would not be a good option for me. She gave me great advice on how to move forward and what steps I needed to take . I am deeply grateful for her wisdom and direction. I also really enjoyed reading her informative website.

      The BEST bankruptcy lawyer!!

      Posted by

      We hired Patty for our chapter 7 bankruptcy case. Ours was a very complicated case, but Patty and Jeff guided us throughout the entire process. Their knowledge and professionalism greatly helped us during this stressful time. They was always promptly answered our questions, and we truly felt like they cared. We would definitely recommend the Williams Law Office.

      Mrs. Williams provided excellent service handling our Chapter 7 case. We knew very little about bankruptcy upon arrival, and she provided excellent counsel through the entire process. Patty has a warm, human side as well and plainly cares about her clients as individuals and families. God bless you, ma'am!

      Timothy Klob, Chapter 7 bankruptcy Attorney on Mar 4, 2010
      Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

      Patricia Williams is a skilled, compassionate, caring and competent consumer advocate and bankruptcy attorney. I regularly refer my social security disability and workers' compensation clients to Patricia when they find themselves facing bankruptcy. Patricia has extensive experience in both consumer and corporate bankruptcy and is a recognized leader in her fields of practice in the legal community as well as through her pro bono and other volunteer activities in Gwinnett County and the Loganville area. I am confident that any client I refer to Patricia will be provided individualized attention and that she will ensure that they achieve the best possible outcome for their specific situation. It is for these reasons that I endorse Patricia and her work as a consumer bankruptcy attorney.

      Jeffrey Williams, Chapter 13 bankruptcy Attorney on Aug 3, 2012
      Relationship: Co-worker

      Patty is absolutely the most conscientious, reliable, and thorough bankruptcy attorney you could ever hire. She is tops for both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 proceedings and related matters. She gives every client personal attention, and answers emails or phone calls amazingly fast for a busy attorney. In addition, she finds time for positive church and volunteer work. You could not ask for a better attorney if you are seeking help with financial problems. Her demeanor and personality is extremely kind and loving . . . But then I may be a little prejudiced, because I have been her husband since 1975, and we have seven adult children!

      Derek Jacques

      Ms. Williams is an excellent advocate for her clients. I would not hesitate recommending her to any person in need.
