Maureen Williams

I was caught Driving Under the Influence whilst abroad in Peoria. Despite being against the law and down right stupid, I found myself in this embarrassing predicament after deciding to take the risk. It would be an action that I would regret and still regret today. Due to my time in the USA being onl...y a short visit, I found myself in a challenging situation where I had to find an attorney very quickly and one that I could trust to handle matters whilst I returned home (in another country). I discovered Maureen through an internet search where we met briefly the next day and she gave immediate advice and recommendations before my departure back home. These immediate recommendations and actions proved crucial in my case and saved me a lot of ongoing cost and time. Her knowledge in DUI cases is exceptional. Despite being arrested, Maureen challenged the case and evidence as best she could and reviewed every technicality in an effort to find a Not Guilty verdict. I read another review that quoted "An Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove". You definitely want her in your corner. You are definitely Innocent until proven Guilty. However, the case and evidence was stacked against me. Our immediate focus then turned to, how do I attend court or hearings whilst living in another country without too much personal impact? Maureen's extensive research found a case that set a precedent to conduct official court matters remotely. This was the best possible outcome as it saved a significant amount of additional expenses and travel time. Although being found Guilty in the end, Maureen did the best she could and prevented any additional unnecessary expenses or travel. Maureen's communication was second to none despite us being over 12hrs apart in different time zone. Maureen is very professional but yet has a very compassionate side. I highly recommend Maureen should you find yourself in trouble. I can't thank Maureen and her office enough.

Maureen helped out immensely with my expungement hearing and was very receptive to me, even on short notice. She explained the entire process perfectly, was caring, worked quickly, and went above and beyond my expectations. I would recommend Maureen as a criminal defense attorney to anyone in the Peo...ria area.

I don't even know where to begin. Having never had a reason for an attorney, I took to the internet and did my research. There were so many great things being said about Maureen in her reviews that I called her. Meeting her for the first time, I believed her when she said she would do everything she ...could for me. She is truly an amazing attorney. I felt from the beginning that she went above and bond for me. She would even call weekly just to check on how I was. I would highly recommend Maureen Williams, as I don't believe there is anyone else who would fight so hard for other people.

As anyone who has had the misfortune to be prosecuted knows, going before the court system can cause a great deal of anxiety and depression. After consultations with two other attorneys I felt like I was just a “number in the system”. Not only did this make me feel helpless, I felt hopeless… I knew... in my heart that neither of these lawyers would FIGHT for me. At that point I felt like giving up, but I didn’t. I started researching attorneys and evaluating reviews from their previous clients. After reading the positive comments about Ms. Williams I made an appointment for a consultation. She greeted me warmly and politely, she listened – actually LISTENED to the circumstances that resulted in charges being filed against me. She respectfully asked detailed questions without making me feel like I was uneducated or immoral person. Ms. Williams instilled confidence in me that she TRULY believed in my innocence. I could tell her priority was to ensure that she provided me with a sound defense and that justice would prevail. Throughout the trial her commitment and positive encouragement helped keep my stress to a minimum. Maureen always took the time to talk to me when I was feeling anxious about how things were going and to calm my fears. With Ms. Williams as my defense attorney I was vindicated of the charges against me and I am forever grateful that she took my case. I was blessed the day that I walked into her office – to find an attorney that believed in me and fought to make sure that I was vindicated. If you’re looking for a defense attorney to help you through a difficult time – I highly recommend Ms. Williams. She will do everything she can to ensure that you get the best representation possible.
