At Foxtrot Family Law, all we do is help committed parents and caring relatives be effective in Child Custody cases.
We help you stand up to bullies when the Other Side or when DHR oversteps their bounds and fails to respect your rights and beliefs and relationship with your child.
We believe that you have a fundamental right under our Constitution to raise your children how you see fit and to spend as much time with them as you can. You may have nothing to hide, but that doesn't mean that DHR or the Other Side gets to control or manipulate your relationship with your child.
Winning or losing in Child Custody is about leaving it all on the field, knowing in your heart and having the peace of mind that you did everything you could for what you believe to be best for your child.
At Foxtrot Family Law, we are so lucky to be skilled and uniquely equipped to effectively guide our clients through a challenging and difficult process. We see our clients step up, stand up and fight for their kids every day. I am very blessed to get to do what I do. ~SW

Guardianship and adoption
I retained Stephen to represent me to gain full custody and to adopt my grandson. Stephen was always there even when i was upset and concerned that things would not go my way. He reassured me all the way through the whole process. 1st case he had to get everyone on board with making me the guardian o...

Great person to hire
He was able to clearly explain to me my rights as a father. Things played out exactly as he said they would. Without his initial consultation, I would have not known what direction to go. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is very straight to the point and even waited on me after his normal b...

Custody Advice
Stephen was very helpful and knowledgeable about everything I was concerned about. We ended our phone call and I had more peace about my situation. If the need to hire a lawyer comes into play, I will most certainly be contacting him.

Great
I have to say Mr. Stephen and Mr. Joshua are amazing lawyers, I was able to contact them when I called, texted, or emailed every time where most lawyers take days to get back to you. I wouldn’t recommend any other lawyer above them! Joshua went to court with me and he “killed it” I absolutely adore ...
"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. I was most impressed by how he pressed both parties in cross examination instead of becoming a fly on the wall like most GALs tend to do. If you draw, Stephen Williams as the child's GAL, you can be rest assured that your child is in good hands."
"I endorse Stephen as a great lawyer who is one of the best at child custody issues. I would refer any client of mine to his Firm with the utmost confidence."
"Stephen is smart / honest / dedicated to his clients / extremely knowledgeable / and works relentlessly for justice. I recommend Stephen to anyone in need of child custody legal services."
"I endorse this lawyer. Stephen is a dedicated, diligent and professional attorney, bound to solve even the most complex and challenging cases. He is a top notch attorney in his areas of practice and a well respected lawyer in the legal community. I recommend his quality services without hesitation to anyone seeking legal representation."
"Mr. Williams has developed a reputation in our community for being well-versed in the law and able to articulate it superbly in the courtroom. I fully endorse Mr. Williams as an attorney in our community."
"Stephen is a top-notch advocate and certainly the attorney you want in your corner when you are facing difficult custody issues. He is laser-focused, has a keen legal mind, and tirelessly committed to growing relationships with his clients."
"I highly recommend Stephen to anyone seeking an attorney to handle child custody matters. We have tried many cases as opposing counsel and I have found that Stephen is always prepared and a very competent trial lawyer. Stephen's practice is primarily focused on child custody and family law. He is the attorney who can help you."
"Stephen is intelligent, kind, and professional. I would recommend him for all manners of cases, including real estate, domestic relations, criminal, and probate. Excellent Attorney"
"Stephen Williams is a strong advocate for his clients. His litigation abilities are stellar and he is very good at presenting complex legal issues in an easy to understand manner. His knowledge of procedure and evidentiary issues is one of his greatest strengths."
"I have been opposite of Stephen Williams on several matters. While we did not agree on what should happen, I found him to be both knowledgeable and honorable. Those two qualities make him an excellent choice for clients to sit down with him to discuss their legal issues knowing he will give good advice and will treat them with respect. John Watts"
"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. The kind of drive and work ethic he had in order to get both degrees at the same time is now exhibited in the manner in which he practices law and takes care of his clients to ensure the best possible outcome for them. 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."
"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."
