Chucky settlement

Brianna did an excellent job handling my wrongful termination case. After talking to several lawyers who indicate to me that I have no case, Brianna took it to the next level. From zero compensation to some positive $$ amount I received from my settlement. She is an outstanding professional and was a...ble to resolve my case

Posted by anonymous | April 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Clear, succinct and matter-of-fact consultation

Ms Williams reviewed the situation, paperwork and rights around my job termination. Within a short period of time she answered all my questions and provided a very matter-of-fact, objective perspective which was exactly what I needed during such a period of distress. She also went the extra mile to o...btain an expert opinion outside of her specialty, and did not overcharge or oversell where she felt there was no legal case to be made. Highly recommended.

Attorney Brianna Williams RESCUED my abandoned case and got me a fair settlement!

Prior to hiring Attorney Williams, I had spent countless hours researching attorneys. I narrowed down my list and drove several hours to meet with a highly reputable, overpriced and rather abrasive attorney who contrary to previous discussions decided to charge a consultation fee. In addition, he a...greed that I had a case and would gladly represent me for an initial fee of more than 10k. I knew that he had taken on a lot of cases and was currently representing major clients. However, after leaving his office I could not help but feel like I had just been robbed and made to feel like I "needed" him. In addition, I did not have the cash to pay him the requested fee and did not think it best to get into debt just to have him represent me. Prior to hiring an Attorney, I worked with the diligent staff at the EEOC for more than 5 years. I needed someone who would see my case through to the end as they had done. Therefore, I decided on an attorney within my town who assured me that he believed in the case and would see it to the end. After nearly a year of working with the local attorney, we had not reached a settlement or even arranged a pre-mediation meeting. Instead the opposing side was requesting additional extensions and my local attorney was granting their request without my knowledge or approval. As if that was not enough, my new attorney who promised to see the case to the end withdrew from the case 3 days before a very important filing deadline. This left my case in a VERY vulnerable state. The judge as a matter of duty granted me 30 days to find replacement counsel. Prior to selecting my previous attorney I had done a thorough search and I knew that I had little to no attorneys in my local area to choose from. There was absolutely no QUALIFIED Attorney within my town that could review my case in time OR that was willing to go up against the MAJOR corporation that I was suing. In addition, those who did "consider" the case did not agree with the way that my case was initially filed by my previous attorney and did not want to risk the loss. I went online and located Attorney Williams via AVVO. I picked up the phone and I explained where my case was. I informed her of the deadline that was fast approaching before my case would be thrown out or I would have to face an experienced corporate lawyer from one of the top law firms in this country. After reviewing where we were, Attorney Williams without hesitation agreed to reach out to the opposing counsel. Attorney Williams came aboard ready to fight to the end if necessary but willing to first try to mediate a resolution and settlement. In a most professional but direct manner she reached out to the opposing counsel to discuss settlement options. She cordially but boldly presented the facts that could be supported in court to the opposing side and informed the opposing side why it was in their best interest to settle this case outside of court. Most importantly, she CC'd me on EVERY communication with the opposing side. I was never left out of what was going on with my case. Within three weeks which was mostly comprised of time waiting for the paperwork to be completed, we reached a fair settlement. Attorney Williams, got done in three weeks, 2 phone calls and a couple of emails what had not been done after more than 5 years. I must admit that the hard work and information compiled by the EEOC who handled the case prior to me hiring an attorney was also a contributing factor to our success. My thanks to the members of that agency as well. If you are looking for a TOP attorney, don't look in those journals. You have found a TOP mediation, discrimination and Employment Law attorney in Attorney Brianna Williams. Hire her today! You will NOT be disappointed. For the record I was not paid to share this testimony. I am a real client of Attorney Williams and my case has recently been settled in a US District court. Thanks Attorney Williams!

By far the best attorney that I have had the pleasure of working with

I hired Ms. Williams to address an employment matter. After my initial conversation with Ms. Williams I felt extremely confident that I had found that right person that would be able to assist me. Ms. Williams explained in great details the laws surrounding my case and took the extra time to ensure... that I understood what my choices were. She served as an advocate for me in my legal employment matter, and did so in a manner that was highly professional and ethical. She brought resolution to my issue and ensured that everything that was negotiated for came to fruition and it happened within the timeline that was agreed upon. I would not hesitate to recommend or retain Ms. Williams service. In my field of work I have had to work with many attorney's and Ms. Williams is by far one of the best that I have come across in my 20+ years of employment.
