Candace Melissa Williams

I was told by multiple firms, my case was "unwinnable ". I was referred to candace by another lawyer. I reached out to her and she thankfully took my case. She and her firm did the impossible and made it possible. She is a bulldog!! When it comes to court. She actually cares about her clients and ...fights hard! I can't promise she'll take your case but she should be your first call. She'll tell you form the start, the truth, the good and the bad of your case. They won an unwinnable case for other lawyers. I would not want to go up against her. Candace and her firm, gave me something that other firms couldn't or wouldn't, she gave me back my boys in my life!! Truly an amazing lawyer. Because of her, today was the first day i was able to be with my boys in over 2 years. No matter what your case is, she should be your first and only call. And it's not about money with her, she Truly cares about her clients!. God bless you ladies! I will forever be grateful. Thank you

Candace Williams and her team are Awesome! I came to Candace after a horrible experience with another law firm. I was in the final stages of Child support and custody modification. The lawyer I had did more for my ex than me. The other lawyer didn’t even finish the case. I called Candace and she fini...shed the case. The other lawyer made a lot of mistakes, and I signed a document to make everything final. I talked to Candace about trying to appeal this since the previous lawyer lied to me and coerced me into signing the document. Candace told me upfront that we could try to fight the decision but had a slim chance of winning. I respected Candace for this. Any other lawyer would string you along and drain money from you. Candace was truthful and I felt she was on my side. I will use Candace for all my future legal problems. Thank you, Candace, and your team, for everything!

Candace and her team supported me during a difficult custody case. This firm is made up of women and mothers so, I felt safe and supported in their hands. At every complicated turn, they were able to balance being supportive and encouraging when needed, but also direct and honest when I needed to be ...more realistic. In a field that feels over-run with men, they were able to hold their own and fought for the best outcome for myself and my son. I feel incredibly blessed to have found the perfect team to represent me, and the outcome would not have been what it is without their dedication and prowess.

I hired Candace and her team In April 2020. I was going through a divorce from my abusive husband who wasn’t just abusive toward me, but to my 4 children as well. My children have special needs ranging from very high functioning to severe nonverbal autism. I had an attorney at the time that wasn’t ve...ry passionate about my case. One night as I was getting my son to sleep I googled divorce attorney’s in Gainesville, Ga that handled domestic violence and Candice was the first attorney to come up. I read her website and she passionately described her feelings for domestic violence victims and for children. I knew I needed her to fight for my kids and I. I called the next morning and was very shocked that Candace spoke to me right away after her assistant told her my story. She instructed me on what to say in the email to my lawyer to release her as my attorney. From that moment on Candace and her team became family to my children and I. That was a pivotal moment when I knew Candace deeply cared about my kids and I. I was relaxing from a long day at work and after getting my son to sleep when I got an alert that I had an email. It was from Candace and she was expressing how heart breaking the messages and voicemails from my oldest daughter to me about the abuse she received from her father were. She was working on my case at 11 at night all while being a single mom herself! I knew then she truly cared about my family. Candace handled the extension of the TPO against my husband while we continued sorting out the details of the divorce. Candace and her team were always very responsive to me and always in a timely manner. Candace was like a mother; loving, yet firm when I needed her to be! Candace and her team were with me during one of the most traumatic times of my life; the death of both my parents within 2 months of each other. My husband was trying to have a hearing while I was by my dying mom’s side. His lawyer and him didn’t want to postpone it, but Candace got it postponed. When we finally had the hearing it was by zoom and I was very nervous about seeing my husband even on the computer. Thankfully it was arranged that he was on Candace’s computer, but not mine. Before the hearing Candace calmed my nerves and the whole team made me feel so comfortable. I felt like I had known each of them for years. We hired a GAL that day and I was worried how I would pay him when the money I had saved was to pay Candace with. Candace got down to my level and said: “Jennifer, you pay him what you have saved and I’ll work with you on my payment.” She has kept her word about working with me on her payment too! She even came with me to meet the GAL. Candace was very loving toward my children when she met them. Candace is a bulldog and I would never want to be on the other side of her. My divorce just became final this past week and I received sole physical and sole legal custody with no visitation for my ex-husband as well as a permanent TPO for the kids and I. I also received the car and my ex-husband signed a quit claim deed for the house. Each case is different and what I received of course doesn’t mean that will be the case for every one that Candace represents, but one things for sure she will fight for you and give your case her all! I was actually saddened to have my case come to an end, because Candace and her team became family to my children and I. You will have no regrets hiring Candace and her team!

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.
