Posted by Thomas | September 18, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Awesome Attorney and even a better person.

I have hired Bruce as my Attorney for a divorce ii am going through. I am able and 47 years of age. I felt like before I went to see Bruce that my life was about to change for the worse (my kids are my world) and I would only get to see my kids on a visiting basis. After my first meeting with Bruce h...e assured me that we are going for full custody. At worst shared custody. He made me feel better about my choice and gave me confidence in my case.

Client Commitment Leads to Victory

In late 2008, I hired Mr. Bruce Williams to represent me in a Divorce/Custody motion in Salem, Ohio. He was consistant in updating me with the progress step-by-step and is extremely aggressive in the court room. Not only did he deliver the results I was aiming for, but he went above and beyond to e...nsure my children and I were taken care of. Mr. Williams delivers well beyond a clients expectations. He his very honest with his clients and has no fear against his contenders. If I had to choose an attorney to represent me in his area of expertise, I would feel extremely privileged and honored to re-hire Mr. Williams again.

Professional and Personable Attorney

Attorney Williams represented me in a child custody case last year. I thoroughly appreciated his honesty throughout the whole process. He was very professional but also easy to talk to. Without a doubt I would recommend Attorney Williams to anyone needing legal assistance.

best attorney

Mr. Williams helped my husband with his divorce 5 years ago from his ex wife. The kids were in a very bad way. Mr. Williams had gotten my husband custody of all three of his children. To this day I believe Mr. Williams saved the children's lives. I would recommend Mr. Williams to anyone that I knew h...e could help.

Best divorce attorney for difficult cases!

Professional and caring lawyer, I can't say enough good things about Bruce Williams. He represented me on a traffic ticket, case won. Divorce and custody, very happy with the results!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
