DUI

Very knowledgeable. Doesn’t make promises that he can’t keep. Consistently communicates even from from his personal phone number. Gave me great advice even on things outside the scope of what i needed him for. No additional fees. Price was a little steep in the beginning but turned out to be VERY we...ll money spent. Got me the best case scenario. Hands down the best I’ve seen in a court room!

Highly Recommended

I had a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge. With my job, any blip on my record no matter how small could affect my standing within the company. Mr. Williams took on my case and when I told him my side of the story and the concern of this sticking on my record, my first appearance in court, he had... my case dismissed. Couldn't be happier with the results. Very easy to deal with. I highly recommend Mr. Williams.
