PRACTICING EXCLUSIVELY DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW IN MINNESOTA SINCE 1993.

I have practiced exclusively divorce and family law in Minnesota since 1993. In addition to other practice areas listed in my profile, I have extensive experience in interstate and international family law, having practiced with 18 other states, and 22 countries on 6 continents.  I am the author of the first Minnesota Divorce and Family Law Blog, which can be found on my website.  I choose to be a small business so that I can offer very personalized service to each of my clients.  I welcome inquiries through my website, by phone, or in person.

Amazing Family Lawyer
Jerry knows the law and nothing escapes him. He is very bright and has a lot of experience - it definitely shows during court dealings and throughout the whole process. He represented me during my highly contested divorce years back and now again after the other party reopened the case. Highly recommended!

Great experience through hard times
I felt very taken care of throughout my divorce. My many questions were answered very quickly and Williams Divorce & Family Law walked me through every step of the process.

He is the best
Jerry is my attorney since 2015. I should say I have peace of mind with my highly contested case. I wish I knew about him earlier, I wouldn't have lost all that precious money I invested in other firms.
