Excellent Service

Mrs. Williams has given me legal advise on several matters. My son also used Mrs. Williams for his divorce proceedings. We both feel that she listens to your needs and explains the options available very thoroughly. I highly recommend her for any of your legal needs.

An attorney you can count on

Betty has represented me in various areas. She has always handled herself and each situation with the utmost professionalism. Betty took the time to listen to my needs and put forth genuine effort to make sure my case was heard. She has strong family values, and treated me just as importantly.

Caring, Confident, and Intelligent

Mrs. Williams has the ability to make uncomfortable situations comfortable with her confidence in the initial consultation and in the courtroom. I had been married to the same man for 16 years in a small town where I was a Christian woman and the last thing I wanted to admit to anyone was that my mar...riage had failed. I emailed Mrs. Williams one night in a moment of despair and told her that likely I would be filing for divorce in the coming months but I had a few initial questions. She responded promptly the next morning with not only the answers to my questions but with words of encouragement and support that I desperately needed. Two months later I reached out to Mrs. Williams to formally file. She brought me into the initial consultation and listened to me. I was not familiar with the language of the courtroom surrounding custody and divorce hearings and she took her time to explain them to someone who needs to know all the details. She never made me feel like I was wasting her time and she never pushed me to do anything that I did not want to do. At a time when I felt incredibly vulnerable she allowed me the opportunity to walk out of her office with a sense of control that I had not had in a very long time. Her presence in the courtroom is felt by those around her. She articulated my position on all points very well and her confidence was well displayed. She is very intelligent and well prepared. Many attorneys I witnessed on that first morning in court sat down immediately before their client went up and reviewed their case and their lack of preparation showed. Megan was well prepared and did not stumble around when asked questions that we had not discussed. Mrs. Williams was the best attorney I could have asked for. I needed someone who was kind, caring, confident, intelligent, and diligent and I feel like she possesses all those qualities. Many people would have a hard time saying this but Mrs. Williams is special because she is a woman of God. She carries herself in a different way and is a better attorney because of it. She respects herself, she has values, and most importantly she demands the best out of her clients as well. She truly wants to respect the law while fighting for the rights of her client. I would recommend Mrs. Williams to anyone!
