Candace Melissa Williams

Hired in November of 2020. Her work is riddled with mistakes and oversights, so prepare to spend many hours proof reading her work. Does not advocate for client and will put her vacation ahead of your case, refusing to submit an allowed rebuttal because "I think the judge already is made up h...is mind." Incredibly rude over email and her poor reading comprehension means you'll often be asking the same question many times before receiving anything that resembles an answer to it. No understanding of basic facts of the case, no matter how many times things are communicated (will mix up family relations, witness names, addresses, timelines). Will fail to submit important evidence to the court that was provided to and available to her since before your first response to discovery, leading to it not being able to be entered and costing you thousands of dollars on top of what you are already paying her. If your hearing is over Zoom/Teams, be prepared to watch her incompetently attempt to rotate a PDF while skipping over all relevant parts. Will print and rescan documents you provided electronically, with the pages in disarray, wasting everyone's time before giving up and ignoring the point of the document. Wasted a great deal of time in the hearings by failing to understand how screen-sharing worked and was constantly stopping and starting screen sharing, while leaving her file explorer open and visible to all present, showing dates that the evidentiary documents were last edited which got them deemed inadmissible as evidence due to it showing as edited since the first hearing. Either does not listen or does not remember simple instructions such as that Facebook conversations export so that the conversation reads bottom to top. Will have the audacity to talk about how "proud" and "satisfied" she is with the result of your case, despite you coming out of it owing money to your spouse and being left unable to pay bills. On the topic of bills, you can look forward to your final attorney invoice coming less than a week before your first court ordered payments to your spouse. Invoices from Candace do not come on any particular schedule, they are due immediately and arrive sporadically and without any particular pattern. During the hearing Candace loudly whispered with her paralegal on an open microphone, leading to a complaint from the opposing council and making us both look unprofessional. Utterly embarrassing and incompetent. You would struggle to find a less effective Attorney.

In times of immense stress and when there is so much on the line, such as the wellbeing and future of your children, you want to be able to rely on your counsel for advice and trust that she truly cares about your case and wants to see things be made right. This is who Candace is. I have experienced ...lawyers that remain relatively uninvolved and more or less forget who you even are until it's time to bill you - Candace remained absolutely hands-on through the entire process. It's honestly amazing, given her skills and how high in-demand she is, that she was able to sincerely devote so much time and energy to my case, obviously care about the outcome and, ultimately, win. She is precise, knowledgeable, and very forthright. Ultimately in my case justice was served and my children have a chance at a normal life. I would recommend (and already have several times) Candace to anyone, without hesitation, facing a divorce or contentious child custody scenario. She's amazing.

Candace is top notch. I was, unfortunately, involved in a very contentious and divorce. Her professionalism, advocacy, dedication and experience was first rate. She had to navigate through many roadblocks and situations and did so like a pro. Her responsiveness was above and beyond and her staff also... handled everything with grace and speed. She went to bat for me and my family and helped me achieve my main goal. I will forever be thankful for Candace and what she accomplished for me and my children. Candace, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you need the best...reach out to Candace at www.candacewilliamslaw.com You will not be disappointed!

I want to thank Candace for being so professional and hard-working. She was very direct and never wasted my time, gave me good advice, and guided me through a tough series of events. Every minute she was producing results and setting up the next objective. Loved every minute of it. Thanks again C...andace!
