Matthew Williams is an amazing attorney. He handled my case very efficiently and got the job done! I am very grateful for the help that I received and his service has exceeded my expectations. Any time I needed him he was always available to answer questions quickly and with a high level of professionalism. I highly recommend his firm, again easy to work with, highly efficient and very helpful. I love an attorney that goes above and beyond for their client!

can highly recommend
I retained Atty Williams to represent me in the divorce case just in 2 months before the trial. Before doing that I had subsequently retained and fired 2 two other lawyers which were generating bills w/o doing any work. It is very difficult to describe the difference Atty Williams made w/o going into the details of the case, so I simply say that I'm glad I found and retained him and I can highly recommend him w/o any reservations. I'm impressed with his realistic and constructive attitude, responsible approach to the case and and prompt communication. As a result, we were able to resolve all the issues and settle the case w/o going into a trial. Thanks, Matthew! Finally, a few remarks for those who is seeking for a divorce lawyer. - I didn't find Avvo ratings any helpful for choosing a lawyer - the worst layer I hired had very high Avvo rating. - Look for independent client reviews in places different from the lawyer's website - they help a lot. - check the lawyer's website - it tells a lot about the lawyer. I found that Atty. Williams's website really stands out .
