The best in the area.... Pitbull

Andy is brilliant. With having abnormal issues regarding whether my marriage was actually legal or not, he found the case law and avenues to cover me. WORTH EVERY DOLLAR!!!

Great Lawyer and a Great Guy!

I could never have made it through my divorce without Andy's help. He was always there for my anytime day or night! There was an ugly custody battle and Andy fought for me to have joint custody of my daughter!

So Farsi good

Met with Mr. Williams for consult. Very informative and felt like I finally had someone in my corner. Truly believe he is going to give a good fight to see things turn out the best they can for me!

100% In your best interest

I've retained Attorney Williams for multiple cases over the years and he's been outstanding! If you need a great lawyer with sound advice and max effort, look no further. Attorney Williams has guided me through some really tough situations and has gotten the result that I wanted on every occasion. ...I would recommend him to my closest family and friends.

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.
