Best immigration attorney, I truly recommend this man.

Mr Williams does not come to play, he stays in touch with his client, he gets work done. He is very kind and honest, he doesn’t sleep on your work, he prioritises his clients. I had a great experience! I recommend him 10/10.

Well known in the court...

Mr Williams is an exceptional attorney,with great knowledge great service. my particular case was a criminal case he's very aggressive in the courtroom he will fight for you he will not let the state of Florida just do what they want with you he is going to make a deal at that table for you. He's we...ll known to the state prosecutors and the judges. I have used Doug since 1999 I don't think I can think of a better attorney that I could have used this man did his job and he did his job well thanks Doug for all your help. Highly recommend this guy.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
