Honest and caring, more than an attorney.

I hired Attorney Williams to represent me in a divorce and criminal matter. He was very understanding and was available after hours and on weekends when needed. Unfortunately, he was unable to continue as my divorce attorney due to a conflict but did handle my criminal case and was very thorough in... explaining options and even providing insight as to what he felt was the best path for my situation. My family and I had worked with 5 attorneys and interviewed many others and the best compliment I can give Andy is that I have referred him to over 9 people in similar situations. I have referred NONE of the other attorneys involved in my cases. There are some attorneys it the Green Bay area that are only out for your money and not at all interested in your best interest or putting in what is needed to put you in the best position you can be in, Andy Williams will look out for your best interest.

Very helpful

I was referred to attorney Williams by a family friend, and am so grateful I hired him. I had gotten mixed up with the wrong crowd and found out the hard way. I was using a friends car and got pulled over for a simple traffic violation, they asked to search the car and I had no problem letting them. ...I soon found out that my friend kept some pot in there, that they held me accounted for. Attorney Williams met with me right away and assured me his best, and that's what I got! He would always be there if me, or my family, had a question, no matter the time. He is a great lawyer and I'm glad I hired him, I continue to recommend him to friends and they all say the same. Thank you!!
