Guardian Angel

When I met Susan I was going through the worst time in my life. Never having used an attorney I didn't know what to expect. Her experience and knowledge with handling divorces helped in every aspect. I couldn't be more happier with my divorcee precedings and outcome. Her encouragement and positive at...titude got me through this difficult situation. God Bless you Susan Williams you are truly my guardian angel.

Amazing Family Lawyer Who Helped Us Become a Family

Mrs. Williams is an excellent attorney. She handled an adoption case for us. She was always quick to answer questions and return calls and emails. She encouraged and reassured us along the way. She handled everything with excellence and integrity. She was a blessing to us and helped us become a ...family! I have recommended her to both my family and colleagues.

Tough, honest, Christian attorney!

Mrs. Williams has helped us with several matters over the last few years. With every issue, she gives it her full attention and expertise. She is always kind and sensitive in dealing with us, but is tough when it comes to our legal matter. She is dedicated to getting the outcome that her clients d...esire. I appreciate that she has a high, Christian ethical standard. That is refreshing not only in the legal profession, but society in general today! She has proven over and over for us that you can be a bulldog in court and in working with other attorneys and still maintain a high level of professional ethics. If you're looking for an honest, tough attorney that will work hard for you, call Mrs. Williams! You will not be disappointed!

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.
