I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Brad Williams.

He’s not just a lawyer—he’s a strong advocate who treats you with respect, patience, and professiona...

If you are reading this review you are probably in the position I was this past April. A horrible event just happened to you and you wish you could turn back time. You keep talking to yourself saying "if only I didn't take that route home/ if only I was 5 minutes later I would have missed that cop". ...

Mr. Williams is very knowledgeable and honest. Direct to the point and professional. Great attorney and law firm. His experience as a lawyer and background in forensic law scientist is invaluable. I would recommend his counsel to anyone.

If you find yourself in need of a lawyer specializing in DWI/DUI I highly recommend Brad Williams with the law firm Bennett & Williams!! Mr. Williams is very professional, knowledgeable, caring, & diligent to work for you getting the best results he can. He explains the legal jargon in a way a lay ...
""Brad" Williams is a true DUI warrior. I had the distinct pleasure of getting to know Brad at a recent Standardized Field Sobriety Test Instructor Course. Brad is dedicated to obtaining the very best training and education possible in order to obtain the very best results for his clients. His knowledge of DUI is almost unlimited and he is dedicated to defending his clients cases -- as opposing to the common practice of walking them in and pleading them guilty. If you want to fight your case with a skilled and knowledgable lawyer, Brad is your man!"
"In both DWI and immigration law, Brad Williams is one of the finest attorneys I know. He and his partners have the best DWI firm in the state. He has been trained and certified in field sobriety testing, testing on BAC datamaster and Intoximeter machines, DRE (Drug Recognition Evaluation or Expert), and all areas of how to challenge the state's case in DWI/DUI cases. In addition to that, he is very knowledgeable about immigration law, and particularly understands the intersection of criminal and immigration law, which is important for anyone who is undocumented or who is a legal permanent resident, and runs into trouble in the criminal justice system. He is a dedicated trial attorney, scholar, and is a gentleman with the highest integrity, and I highly endorse him."
"Brad is the premier DWI/DUI attorney in Arkansas. As a deputy prosecuting attorney for years, I went up against Brad several times on DWI's and other criminal cases, and there is not a more prepared, intelligent, and honest lawyer out there. I've recommended Brad to close friends and family, and he's always come through with good results. Great guy, too."
"I have no hesitation in endorsing Brad. He is an excellent criminal defense attorney. He is particularly skilled in DWI/DUI defense."
"I endorse this lawyer. Brad and I tried numerous cases against each other while I was a prosecutor. He was always very knowledgable, well prepared, and easy to work with. His dedication to the profession is an asset to all his clients."
"Brad not only is great at representing people charged with DUI/DWI but also understands the science behind the charge. This is essential when the government has charged you with a crime. Don't hesitate in hiring him. He knows what he's doing."
"I endorse this lawyer. Brad Williams really knows his science. That's the most important attribute for an attorney who handles DUI cases. So many lawyers tell you they can defend you on a DUI. Very few have the scientific knowledge to so it successfully. Brad is that successful lawyer. This year he was honored as one of the top lawyers in the country under 40 years old by the National Trial Lawyers. He's the best of the best."
"Brad is not only the go to DUI lawyer in Arkansas, but consistently receives well deserved national recognition. His dedication to his craft and his clients is unmistakable. Recently named one of the top 40 under 40 trial lawyers and constantly improving his already formidable criminal defense knowledge and skills, when the stakes are high, this is the lawyer you want on your side."
"I without hesitation endorse this attorney. I have attended training sessions and trials with Brad. He is a committed attorney and his talents in Court are evident to everyone."
"Brad is one of the best DWI/DUI attorneys in the state of Arkansas, and I am proud to call him my friend and colleague. Over the last few years, he has become so knowledgeable and zealous in his DWI representation, he has earned the nickname "Mr. DWI"....It is no joke that police officers' knees knock when he walks into court, and they start asking prosecutors if the case can be "worked out." That's how you know that Brad is a great DWI lawyer, when he strikes fear into law enforcement."
"I met Attorney Williams at Mastering Scientific Evidence this past April. His knowlege and understanding of DWI lawy truly impressed me. Without hesitation, I give my strongest endorsement to Attorney Williams as a champion of the accused citizen."
"I met Brad at a Standardized Field Sobriety Testing course. It was clear to me that Brad is 100% committed to constantly increasing his already vast arsenal of knowledge in order to provide the best possible representation for his clients. I recommend him."
"I became acquainted with Mr. Williams via national conferences on advanced DUI defense topics. Brad is one of the few defense attorneys in the country that spends the time and money to ensure that he maintains his status as one of the country's top DUI defense attorneys. I would not hesitate to refer a friend or relative to Brad."
"Mr. Williams enjoys an excellent national reputation as a dedicated and knowledgeable DUI Defense lawyer. Mr. Williams is not only dedicated to zealously defending his clients, but regularly attends national seminars in order to further expand his vast knowledge of DUI law and science. I'd highly recommend this lawyer as his reputation speaks for itself."
"Bradley is a competant, aggressive, and zealous advocate for his clients. He has proven himself to be an effective, result getting, defense attorney. If I were charged with a DUI in Arkansas, I would hire this attorney."
"I highly recommend Brad for any DUI/DWI matter. I know him personally and know him to be a dedicated and fierce advocate for his clients. Brad has had extensive training in DUI/DWI defense and you can do no better than him if you wish to fight your DUI/DWI charge. I do not hesitate to endorse him."
"Mr. Williams is a true professional. He fight's tirelessly for his clients when other attorneys would simply give up on their clients. Mr. Williams does not simply escort his clients to the courthouse to plead guilty. Mr. Williams is able to take this stance on behalf of his clients because of his vast knowledge in the area of DUI defense. In order to properly represent a person charged with DUI/DWI, the attorney must have a fundamental understanding of Evidentiary Breath Testing, Standardized Field Sobriety Testing and Drug Recognition. Mr. Williams possesses a superior understanding of all these areas of DUI/DWI. Mr. Williams has successfully earned certifications in nearly every aspect of advanced DUI/DWI training and validation. If you would like an attorney who will stand by your side and make sure the Judge understands your view of your case, Bradley Williams is your man. I fully and wholeheartedly endorse this excellent attorney."
