Sincerity and Integrity

She took on my divorce case, 6 weeks before the scheduled trial date, when my first attorney became negligent. Suzanne is the consummate professional, immediately got up to date on the case and was able to reach an agreement before court, after 4 years of litigation and abuse by my initial attorney. ...I am very gratetful for her persistence and resolve. In Broward County she is one of the Best Divorce Attorneys.

Excellent Attorney!

I have found Suzanne Williams to be an excellent choice for an attorney. She is knowledgable, caring, and trustworthy. She has promptly returned every phone call I have made and answered all of my questions professionally and with wisdom that comes with her years of experience. I highly recommend ...her.

Above and beyond!!

First of all, I explained that I just could not afford the fee; she offered $50 off per hour! I was greatful (and accepted) as Suzanne explained in detail exactly what my retainer was for and how fast it would be eaten up and why and then gave me an accurate estimate of what my particular case was go...ing to cost. Secondly, Suzanne being in such demand ( I looked up her success rate) explained that she gives ALL her clients equal attention; that if I did not hear back from her immediately, the only reason was that she physically could not! Suzanne returned my calls and emails as late as 10 pm and weekends!! What other family attorney works nights and weekends for someone, especially someone with a discounted hourly rate!? I felt like I was her main priority!! Yes Suzanne is EXTREMELY busy and hardly ever answered the phone when I called(wich was often). But I always recieved an immediate email telling me when she would and could call and she did! In court, Suzanne was professional but a PIT BULL!! I have heard rumors that people she has gone up against in court and beaten, have actually recomended her! She is that good!!

I have been practicing for almost 17 years and have never had someone complain to me about not being professional. I am, and have always been, forthright with all my clients to prepare them for all possible outcomes regarding the many issues often involved in complicated family law cases, whether it is favorable to their case or not. Every client deserves to know the truth about their case, whether good or bad. However, some clients, such as this one can not deal with hearing the truth. I ALWAYS return calls, emails and texts within 12 hours of the call, including nights and weekends. Unfortunately, family law cases have many complicated issues and we always strive to get the best results on each of those issues. However, there are things that clients do that can negatively affect the results of their own case. The client who posted this negative review is an example of one of those.
