Avoid him

I would not recommend this attorney. Despite charging $400 per hour for emails, court appearances, and even travel time, I did not receive the value or results I expected. If you are looking for someone who truly protects your interests, I suggest exploring other options.

Happy X-wife

Mr. Williams and his staff were professional and efficient with my divorce. I am super happy with their work. And Corrine was easy to communicate with.

Excellent

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 profess...ionalism. 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 .

Avvo Rating

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.
