Divorce Issue Solved!

The sale of my house in Florida was a challenging and stressful situation because it was related to a divorce. I wasted 6 years trying to save money and handle my issue instead of hiring a lawyer. Attorney Felicia Williams was referred to me by another client and friend because she was great at wor...king with men to solve their divorce challenges. Therefore, I hired Attorney Williams in 2017 to handle my Florida post-divorce proceedings and she exceeded my expectations and challenges. Attorney Williams consultation and experience to handle my complex case was extraordinary and finally settled in April 2020. Not only did she settle the sale of my house; she settled the alimony too. The alimony would have been another ongoing issue for me. If you want one of the top 1% of Attorneys in Florida who is exceptional with a great attitude, hire Attorney Williams because she gets the job done right. Attorney Williams is about her clients and results. If I have any legal concerns in the future, I know who to call. Thank you Attorney Williams, I am forever grateful for your outstanding service!

Great Lawyer

It was a pleasure having Attorney Williams as my divorce attorney. She is very knowledgeable of family law and you can even say it's her speciality. She is driven and motivated. Her staff are also very kind and courteous. Attorney Williams left no stone unturned when it came to getting vital and poss...ibly useful information from the opposing party. I was prepared for every possible outcome. My advice to anyone is, if you want team that is devoted to your wants and will make it happen, hire Attorney Williams. She's a winner attorney and great person! I left the courtroom very pleased. Even months after my divorce was finalized, she still called to see how things were going which shows me cares.

Fantastic family law attorney for Dads!

I say this in all seriousness...if you're a father in need of a family law attorney for any reason, you owe it to yourself to speak to Felicia. I experienced almost nine years of divorce and post-divorce litigation that was very acrimonious. During that time, I retained several attorneys, each time... hoping that the new attorney could finally resolve the issues. Felicia was the only attorney who was able to navigate an extremely complex case and resolve the case in a way that was beneficial for me. In the end, she accomplished what no other attorney could...more time with my kids and a modification of the child support to a reasonable level. In dealing with Felicia and her staff, I never had to wonder what was going on and I never had to hassle them to return a phone call or email. She and her staff are phenomenal. You will not find a better attorney that's focused on the best interests of dads and their kids. I can't recommend Felicia Williams highly enough!

Extremely responsive

Attorney Williams fans her staff were extremely responsive and supportive of me and my suggestion from the time that I walked in her office. I was facing a divorce after a long marriage. Attorney Williams made sure that I was kept abreast of things that were going on during the long divorce proceed...ings and she kept me out of the line of fire until I was emotionally ready to deal with things. I cannot say enough good things about how my case was handled and the knowledge and level of professionalism she showed in a very trying time for me.

the father friendly attorney

When I first met Felicia I knew she was the attorney for me. She really had the look of care, consideration, and determination for my case. It felt like I was talking to a friend and getting good advice rather than speaking to an attorney. This personal touch during such a hard time is what makes Fal...icia stand out above the rest. I have used Falicia on several occasions after my divorce and have always come out on top. Her her attention to detail, verbal delivery, and knowledge base is second to none. In my opinion she is an awesome person to have in your corner.
