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!

Best lawyer in Tampa area!

Felicia is, hands down, THE BEST lawyer you will find in Tampa area! She is very knowledgeable and will recommend realistic and sensible options. She and her team are very friendly, helpful and understanding. Most of all, she is honest and trust worthy, and charges a fair price. Actually, for th...e work and care she gives, her price is a bargain. I was dealing with a very difficult custody situation where my ex-wife had majority timeshare of our son. She was completely unworkable, unreasonable, and very hostile, but had the legal advantages. We were all miserable with the custody arrangement and the timeshare schedule, especially our young son, who was beginning to develop nightmares and behavioral issues from all the negative energy and stress. The first lawyer I had for this case was an absolute nightmare. I was determined not to find another bad lawyer, so I did a ton of research, and 3 lawyers later found Felicia. She turned out to be a true blessing! Despite all the disadvantages we were facing, Felicia was able to advise and guide me through the whole process, and with lots of time, patience, and energy both from Felicia and myself, I was finally able to get majority timeshare of my son! With this new timeshare, everybody is much happier, even my ex-wife. Most important of all, my son is now happy, healthy and thriving. Big thanks to Felicia and her team. They are amazing at what they do, and I won’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs help with family law.

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.

Well done

Felicia was a wonderful attorney. She was very caring and went out of her way to understand not only my case, but me as a person. She learned my personality and my side of the story. She also put in a excellent effort in helping me to understand my rights as a father. As well to help me cope with th...e situation that I had been placed. I must also commend her amazing ability to relay and explain situations thru the eyes of a concerned parent. I would most definitely recommend her to any parent who needs an attorney to help them restore their family.

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!
