An absolutely amazing immigration lawyer

I hired Douglas Williams to be my immigration attorney and it was one of the smartest things I ever did. I have been in the US for 42 years and had a permanent resident alien card that they no longer issue as I was 6 when I came to the US from England with my parents. He took care of everything, fil...led out the forms and all I had to do was give my information and show up for appointments. He is extremely knowledgeable in his profession and I can proudly say I am now an American citizen. Thank you Doug for making it so easy.

The right choice, Douglas S. Williams (Attorney at Law)

Doug Williams represented my daughter for both a felony (drug) and misdemeanor (petty theft) charge. We had our first meeting at his Deland office which was closest to our home. He let us tell our story and he listened closely taking notes and asking questions. He demonstrated a very professional ...attitude and made us feel comfortable and confident that we selected the right Lawyer. He met with both myself and my daughter privately relaying strategy and results. He was available anytime we had questions. He has surrounded himself with a fine staff that made several courtesy calls and were polite and friendly. Doug Williams went right to work getting the felony thrown out and worked with the state attorneys office to get my daughter the best result on the misdemeanor. In the courtroom, Doug showed poise and control and was completely organized. The judge in the case had very good interaction with him which made me feel that Doug has excellent experience both with the client and in the courtroom. I won't hesitate calling him in the future if needed.
