Scam Artists

This place is a total scam — don’t waste your time or money I’m a real person and this is my real experience. Don’t trust the 5-star reviews — they’re fake or paid for. Foxtrot Family Law is a complete joke, especially if you have to deal with Stephen Williams or Sree Ravi. They had all my pape...rwork for almost a month and literally did nothing with it. I had to constantly chase them down for updates and never got any straight answers. Meanwhile, they were charging me thousands of dollars for stuff like “reviewing” or “updating” my case — but nothing was actually happening. I gave the same documents to another lawyer who got to work immediately, so clearly Foxtrot just didn’t care. It felt like they were trying to run up my bill and drag things out on purpose. To make it worse, they sent me files that included other people’s case information — including names of unrelated social workers. That’s beyond careless and seriously unprofessional. Now, I have to deal with the consequences of your firm’s negligence, and it’s created self-identity issues for my daughter. That damage is real, and it’s something we’re now left to fix on our own. Stephen was super dismissive and didn’t take anything seriously, and Sree barely communicated at all. It’s honestly ridiculous how unhelpful and unprofessional they were. SAVE YOURSELF THE STRESS. DON’T HIRE THEM. THEY’LL WASTE YOUR TIME AND BLEED YOU DRY. Stephen, I would like a refund of the items I had provided for you but you chose to ignore — after you already admitted that your law firm has failed me.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand that when someone feels unheard, frustrated, or disappointed in a family law matter, those feelings can run deep — especially when the issues involve a child. We do not take concerns like this lightly. Foxtrot Family Law is committed to clear communication, thoughtful preparation, and careful handling of client information in every family law case. We strongly disagree with the characterization of our firm as dishonest or negligent, and we categorically reject any suggestion that reviews associated with our practice are fabricated or paid. However, out of respect for client confidentiality — and the privacy of all parties involved in any family law matter — we will not address specific allegations or billing details in a public forum. If there was any breakdown in communication, expectations, or client experience, that is something we would want to understand and address appropriately. Concerns about document handling, billing entries, or professional conduct are serious matters, and they deserve direct, private review rather than public debate. We invite you to contact our office so we can fully review your file, billing history, and communications in a confidential setting and determine what options may be available moving forward. We would be grateful to speak more about your experience in a confidential setting where you can provide more details as well as what options we may have at this point to address your concerns, presently or in the future.

Win for a dad against mom and dhr

I've worked with lawyers before and I communicated more w Stephen and his team than the other ones combined. We won and that's an a+ especially for a dad in this state and the way dhr operates.

Yeah, dealing with DHR can be so scary, almost to a debilitating extent, but your strength and courage is why we were able to help you here. YOU did this for your family. YOU did the work. YOU were prepared and ready for trial and DHR knew they had NOTHING! All the best! ~SW, Foxtrot

Thank you for such a generous review. It means a great deal to our family law team to hear that you felt supported in your custody and child support matter. Questions are inevitable when it comes to your children — and they should be. Making decisions that affect your kids takes courage, clarity, and a willingness to stay engaged in the process. We’re glad we were able to answer your questions and be there when you needed guidance. At Foxtrot Family Law, our role is to provide steady communication and professional support, but you’re the one who stepped forward to protect your relationship with your children. That matters. We truly appreciate your recommendation and the trust you placed in our firm.

Excellent understanding of subject matter

We had to hire this firm to resolve some false allegations. They did a wonderful job of making sure we not only stayed out of court but also minimized the harassment around it.

Would recommend

The team at FFL were very quick to respond to help me with any questions or advice throughout my case. They made a very unpleasant situation much easier with their advice and console. Would hire again.

"Stephen was a guardian ad litem on a case that I recently had. He did excellent work. He thoroughly researched both parties and was prepared for the hearing.

If you draw, Stephen Williams as the child's GAL, you can be rest assured that your child is in good hands."

"Stephen Williams is a bright, compassionate, energetic and talented lawyer. He has an impressive pedigree with both a law degree and an MBA degree from the University of Alabama.

He has a very strong grasp of the law and the interplay between law and business. I endorse him for both civil business matters and criminal defense."

Judson Crump

Real estate lawyer | Jul 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"In my bankruptcy practice, I see a lot of people who have problems keeping their homes and land. When I have a question about a finer point of Alabama property law, I call Steve. Even though he usually represents the other side, I know he'll give me an honest and valuable opinion. Steve will hear your story, tell you what you need to know and get the job done. Professional, efficient, and helpful. If you've got a property law issue or criminal case up in North Alabama, you need to talk to Stephen Williams."
