Review Austin Williamson

He puts your family first.

Posted by

In my first meeting with Austin, before I hired him he went above and beyond. He gave me information about my case I would have never know if he didn't do some digging and made some calls. I had talked to a few attorneys before him. You could tell he didn't care if I hired him or not I needed help and he helped me. Of course I hired him and he made everything on my end effortless. We had a very unique case that he nor any attorney we know has ever had to deal with and he handled it like a pro. His only concern was what was best for my kids. We got exactly that. Austin knows his stuff. He will anwser your calls and emails. You will never worry if he is taking care of things. He is! If you have a family law case, call Austin! I am extremely grateful for him and his entire team!

Austin was wonderful to work with!! He was always there with advise and for all of my questions. He was always positive and I always felt better after talking with him and hearing his advise during my divorce. In a stressful and scary time he was always reassuring, kind, and professional. I can't say enough good things about him and would definitely recommend him. I appreciate him SO very much!! Definitely wonderful!!
