The Legal System can be overwhelming at times and it would be my pleasure to successfully guide you through this arduous process.  I know first hand how frustrating it can be when seeking information on a loved one's case or trying to get an update on what's happening from the Attorney handling the case.  I feel its imperative to keep clients and their families informed throughout the entire legal process.  Rest assured that YOU will be my priority!  I take pride in getting to know my clients as individuals not as just another case.  I will ensure the Scales of Justice remain balanced and that your Constitutional Rights are protected at all times.  I will work diligently to provide you with a thoroughly researched and negotiated case.  My job as your Attorney will be to inform you of your options then allow you to make well informed decisions based on thorough and competent information. Â
I am licensed to practice Law in the State of Tennessee and have always been in good standing with the Board of Professional Responsibility.  I currently practice Criminal Law and have handled thousands of cases in both the General Sessions and Criminal Courts in Memphis, TN. Â
I graduated from Mississippi College School of Law in Jackson, MS where I received a Doctor of Jurisprudence Degree. Â Also, prior to attending Law School, I graduated Cum Laude from Christian Brothers University in Memphis, TN with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management.Â

DUI Charge DISMISSED
Ms. Williams had my DUI dismissed. I only pled guilty to Reckless Endangerment. Ms. Williams did a real good job for me and I tell everyone to hire her.
Response from Tawanda WilliamsNovember 3, 2015
Theodore, thank you for allowing me to assist you during this most trying time in your life. DUI's have detrimental consequences and I was elated to negotiate your charge to Reckless Endangerment which is far less severe and doesn't carry the same bad outcome as your original charge! I'm glad I could help you!

Aggravated Assault case went to domestic assault
I hired Attorney Tawanda Williams on my Aggravated Assault case, but she had my case reduced to Domestic Assault and set up for me to take Anger Management and Parenting classes. She worked hard on my case and returned all my phone calls.

Felony reduced to Misdemeanor
Ms. Williams handled my felony possession cocaine with intent to manufacture and negotiated it down to a misdemeanor simple possession cocaine with a $750 fine and no jail time. I was happy not to do any jail time because I work and could have lost my job if I had to do jail time.

Good Attorney
Ms. Williams was my Attorney in Division 10 and handled a misdemeanor domestic assault case for me. I was happy with her services and liked that she returned my calls quickly.

"I endorse this lawyer. I've indirectly experienced her fine work through immigration cases which ended up in Philadelphia and were referred to me from close colleagues in Memphis. The referred clients had previously been represented by Attorney Williams in separate cases. She skillfully guided the criminal defense so as to preserve their right to fight to stay in the USA. We managed to keep all in the country."
