Great and Understanding Lawyer

Mr. Williams helped me out greatly with my case even when he wasn't on it. He let me know when I had a violation before my probation officer even told me about it and was willing to help me for great prices. He really cares and works hard for his clients which is outstanding with him being a very bu...sy man. I could always get a hold of him through texting/calling and he was always quick to respond as soon as he was available. He is cool down to earth dude and did outstanding with my case. Ide highly recommended him for anyone.

Daymeon Smith Review of Lawyer Cody Williams

Lawyer Cody Williams did an outstanding job with my case knocking it down from a felony 6 to a misdemeanor A. We could call/text at anytime and he was gracious with payments and gave us time to get payments when we did not have it. I would recommend him to anyone because he is an understanding and c...ool man.

If I could rate lower I would.! No call/NO SHOW WILL NOT ANSWER ANY CALLS.

I hired and came to the monetary price of 2000.00 USD. For a case of legal issues that needed legal counsel. This has been getting continued since March of 2018 I know this for certain since he was given almost all of my tax return which was hard to give away in the first place. There were better thi...ngs to spend it on first like my 5 children! But after reassureing me that this was the best course of action I felt some since that he knew what he was doing. So the first 8 months nothing happened except my case was continued 8 time's. During this time I repeated to him to answer questions I had about the discovery on my case and was never given a real answer then the last time Spoke to him was in November. This is when he left me in court by myself to explain to the court why my lawyer was not present with me!This happened again December this time he At least called but said he was in the hospital having some kind of emergency and promised to show up at the next court date that was continued for January. Of course as I suspected he falled to show in January this time he didn't have a car to get to court and that him and his Girlfriend were having domestic problem this is real what he was texting me as I am sitting in court by myself and without the legal counsel I had already paid for! Why was I not given the proper legal counsel that wealthy or not everyone has the right to have? After my case was continued again this time by the judge to find out what is going with my paid legal counsel I still was unable to get in contact with Cody. He did nothing for my case except get me the same deal the is the same typical plea the prosecutor gives to everyone. I know for a fact he didn't even look into my questions about discovery until almost 7months after the incident occurred because I had to tell him how to get to the clerk's office were the prosecutor had the discovery evidence. Why he called to get this first shows he's lack of care or concern about me and my case. He certainly pretended to care before I paid him in full. Now I have had to hire a new lawyer for my case and will be contacting the people who oversee the kinds of things that help keep the lawyers honest from ripping people off when they need to have someone on there side. Cody contact me if you would like to work something out with regards to the 2000. Since you and I both know that you've done nothing for you to be paid for the total case on top of me having to pay more money to another attorney since you failed to finish this one and if for some reason you could have my trust and faith in you is gone.

Case review

Cody was extremely quick to respond to my initial call. He was very knowledgeable and walked me through all my legal questions as well. I highly recommend him and would certainly hire him in the future.

Posted by Sohini | July 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

AWESOME!!!!

I received a traffic ticket while I was on a business trip in Fort Wayne, IN. Since I was out-of-state, I needed to look for a lawyer to handle the situation for me. I called several (yes, several) lawyers to handle my case and no one bothered to call me back. When I contacted Cody, I left a voicemai...l but he returned my call within 45 minutes to discuss my options. Upon our conversation, I immediately hired him because he express his honesty about how my traffic situation should be handled. If you are looking for a lawyer in Fort Wayne, Cody is your guy!
